I don't mind if the ACC plans to make any realignment changes in the future, but I personally don't wanna see Florida State leave the ACC for any reason or circumstance, especially if the school would be offered to join either the Big XII or the SEC. And this is coming from a fellow 'Noles fan!

Acc losses 2-4 schools B10; 2 schools to SEC; 2-6 to B12

Last standing in acc Wake Forest and BC.

First gone Group VATECH,NCST;Clemson and FSU;UVA,UNC

The more I think about it the less I think any ACC schools go to the Big XII. Big XII only gets ACC schools if 6 ACC teams got to B1G and SEC with FSU being 1 of those 6.

If UVa and GT go B1g, UNC and Duke go SEC then I think the ACC holds.

ACC South- FSU, Clemson, Miami, NC State, Wake, VT. (as good of a division as any outside the SEC West)

ACC North- BC, Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville, CINCY and either TEMPLE or UCONN

Now if FSU leaves then I think you may end up with 4 from the ACC in the Big XII (Miami, Clemson, NCSU and Louisville).

I don't think you will ever see FSU in the Big XII.

And the biggest thing of all, Texas wants 10. If they wanted to be in a 16 school conference they'd have gone to the Pac 12 back when this all started.

Good point, SDSUfan.

Texas is about control & power and gaining from the LHN. The schools dissatisfied with it and could break-away from the B12, did.
__________

The C-7 still will not be the old BE with no Pitt, 'Cuse, BC, etc.; though purpose would go back to original roots.
The nBE all-sports has only one early member, UConn, and they added conference fb later on.
C-7 with new additions may retain the name; but the BE is really an experiment coming to a certain conclusion with a history of wrong turns.

Suppose they go to 12 ultimately, with Xavier, Dayton, Butler, St. Louis & Creighton.... I like that choice of schools, HOWEVER....

it seems a tad awkward that then when they impose divisions (if they do) - Dayton & Xavier (Cincinnati) would have to be in opposite divisions.
Maybe this just means that they WON'T have divisions !
