This is why

ACC won't get left out.

Then tell me what conference will?? There will only be four 16-school conferences. It's either the ACC or Big XIi. My guess is the ACC. Football drives the bus and the ACC can't compete with the other four in football.

I think the "so-called" basketball schools in the ACC - Duke, Wake....and the Big East - UConn, Georgetown, Nova, Cinci will form a basketball only conference and will be a part of the have nots in football.

Clemson, FSU, UNC, NCST, Georgia Tech, Pitt, BC, Miami and Virginia will either go to the SEC, Big XII or Big 10

Cincy was ranked this year, i cant see them abandoning that. But I concurr with your thought process. That would ensure stability and not have to bother with all of this. Plus they might negotiate for a decent tv money that Im sure NBC will be happy to pay.
