I think it would but would it worth it to ESPN? Possibly. What would ESPN do with the B12? Divvy it up between the SEC & the ACC taking them to 20(+?) or add G5 teams to the B12 to challenge Fox for a slice of the B1G & PAC markets? (Cincinnati & BYU for example.) Interesting premise.
To end it now I think they would have to divvy up the B12. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Iowa State, TT & BYU (for a slice of the PAC market) to the SEC. SEC at 20.
Texas, TCU, Baylor, Kansas State, WV & Cincinnati (for a slice of the B1G market) to the ACC. ND? If they come in full then they replace who? Would the ACC go to 24 with ND in full or stay at 21 in a 3x7?
1 solution could be for ESPN to keep BYU under contract as an independent & then replace them with WV or Kansas State. This would make room for ND & keep the ACC & SEC both at 20.

SEC
Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Kansas State, Iowa State, TT
A&M, Arkansas, Missouri, Ole Miss, Kansas
Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, Miss St, Vanderbilt
Florida, Georgia, Auburn, SC, Kentucky
ACC
Texas, TCU, Baylor, WV, Cincinnati
ND, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, BC
NC, Duke, Virginia, VT, GT
FSU, Clemson, Miami, NC St, WF
4 division games + 1 permanent rival + 1 from each division for 8 conference games. Each play 2 from the other conference for 10 total games. Maybe give BYU a 5-6 game scheduling alliance between the 2 conferences.
