Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, N.C. State, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest

You BE has has just as much instability as the current ACC in my opinion. Not having Clemson or FSU around only serves to increase the above conferences vulnerabilities in football.

The whole idea was to stop the football first politics. The non football basketball schools would still be present, Georgetown, Villanova, Providence, Seton Hall, etc. The conference would be a powerhouse for East Coast basketball, which if you will remember was the emphasis of most of the schools listed in the ACC except for Clemson and F.S.U. at the time. We are talking early 90's. The question would be whether Miami and Va Tech would stay. I think so once the ACC schools came aboard.

I think once the value is recognized via the increased TV payouts to the SEC and B1G, those BE schools with CFB programs have to figure out a way to maximize value. That includes ND, WVU, Tech, NCSU and even Cincy, UCONN and BC to some extent. Now I don't know if the BB schools would be more amenable to change with the likes of Duke and UNC in the fold, but I don't think the problem deviates much from what actually played out; a BB school split.
