Espn has told Swofford that the conference should brace itself and have 4-6 replacement schools at the ready. Suggested adds UH, SMU,USF,UC

is that his suggested adds or ESPNs?

I think those would be good adds for the future markets.

If BE blows apart including a BBall (a10 merger) and USF does not have to pay exit fee and can WVU get our $21 mil back?

Has to be his. I doubt the ACC would look that far West.

So if the Twitter feed is accurate then the ACC will be losing 4-6 schools??

From my memory I only remember the following as possible raids on the ACC:

FSU to Big12 or SEC

Clemson to Big 12 or SEC

VA Tech to SEC

Virginia to Big10

Maryland to Big 10 (Happened)

I can see 5 ACC teams leaving, but 6... 6 seems to be pushing it... who in the hell would be the 6th team... GaTech?

ESPNs advising ACC on who to take, what are the other options ECU and Marshall?

Why would these ACC schools leave for the Big 12 or Big10? How much more money will the move add to the university bottom lines?

B12 has begun discussions with Fox & ESPN regarding expansion. FSU & CU would double B12 footprint.

Best case scenario for USF at this point for those two to jump ship.

Do you really think that the ACC is going to lose 4 to 6 programs?
