No B12 moves will happen until long after the ACC network is in place, so there won't be that much pressure from espn to accept .

The ACC would likely hold out, knowing UT is in a bad spot (assuming OU and either KU or OkSt leave for B1G or SEC) for full membership, thinking this would put some sort of pressure on ND for full membership as well -- pipe dream or not. Or, the ACC would demand more games.

The ACC would jumo at that chance. Frankly, with the LHN, UT is one of the few teams uniquely suited to go Indy and be successful. The ACC would have zero leverage.

Texas is no ND. If Texas wanted full membership into the ACC then the ACC would likely be interested. But Im sure the ACC is not interested in granting football independence to a team who has never had it. Anyone who thinks the ACC would do so doesnt know much about the ACC.
