IMO. We just don’t know but ND just Played it’s first ever season of conference football in ACC they are close IMO

You are dreaming. Sound like a West Virginia denialist who claimed the B12 would raid the ACC and then said they'd raid the Pac-12, and that everyone was wrong that Texas and Oklahoma would leave.

The ACC is locked into a long contract with ESPN that is approach less than half the B1G contract in value per school. And the increase is at a slower rate than the B1G. That gap is growing every year, with no mechanism to reduce it. Like Oklahoma, when looking at $400-500m additional dollars over a decade in distributions conference loyalty gets pretty thin. Those are the kind of numbers that persuade Chancellors and Presidents over all complaints from boosters and fans.

But the ACC is locked in a GOR until 2035. So I don't expect anything but courting for the next decade. But come 2031 or 2032 we may get a similar announcement from a couple schools like Virginia and North Carolina.
