The only Big 12 member that might be interested in going to the ACC is WV and they'd be taking a pay cut for the next 15 years to do it.
GOR's can be broken although I believe it's only occurred in the music industry so far and that took years to resolve.
I don't see Clemson being interested in leaving their Carolina controlled conference for a Texas controlled one. And I don't see the Big 12 being interested in any northeast programs. I could see the Big 12 making a play for FSU, Miami & Louisville. Add in UCF or Cincinnati to round it out, with the other getting picked up by the ACC.
Big 14 East - FSU, Miami, Louisville, UCF, West Virginia, Iowa State, Kansas
Big 14 West - Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor
Sign a 5-10 year deal and see if the new membership & payouts generate any interest from Nebraska or TAMU to return and go to a schedule friendly pod system.
ACC South - GT, Clemson, UNC, NC State, Duke, WF
ACC North - Virginia, VT, Pitt, Syracuse, BC, Cincinnati
ND maintains their FB scheduling deal with the ACC
