RE: FWIW: Dan Patrick Thinks If ND Heads to B1G the SEC Will Go After 3 Major Programs

-ACC adds WVU, CINCY and UCF to replace Miami, FSU and Clemson.
-To regain as much of the Florida market they would add USF. Then could add one of the following schools:
FAU, UCONN, Memphis (ND would probably be impossible to get as a full member if they lose all 3).
Would create a 16 team ACC:
NORTH: BC, Syracuse, Pitt, Cincy
STATES:(OH, PA, MA, NY)
COMMONWEALTH: VA, VT, WV, Louisville
STATES:(VA, WV, KY)
CAROLINAS: UNC, Duke, WF, NC-State
STATES:(NC)
SOUTH: USF, UCF, GT, Memphis
STATES:(FL, GA, TN)
-Big12 backfill their departures with Arizona, ASU, Colorado and Utah. To get to 16 teams they could add:
Oregon, Washington, SDSU
Would create a 16 BIG12:
NORTHWEST: UW, Oregon, Utah, BYU
STATES:(WA, OR, UT)
SOUTHWEST: AZ, SDSU, ASU, TTU
STATES:(AZ, CA, TX)
NORTHEAST: ISU, Colorado, KSU, Kansas
STATES:(IA, CO, KS)
SOUTHEAST: Baylor, TCU, Houston, OSU
STATES:(TX, OK)
If somehow only 4 ACC teams move at once, that makes things complicated and messy. Removing 4 ACC teams means you leave what is left in the ACC as a solid obstructionist voting block. Right now with the ACC whole, there's enough votes to stop obstructionism out of teams with a plausible P2 invite. Remove 4 P2 teams and that blows up the math.
