With ESPN ending relationships with the Big Ten, MLS, and the Pac 12 among financial trouble and with Fox spending big for the Big Ten and others, it seems likely that the B12's conference of trash will likely meet the same fate as the the P12 in terms of lack of TV interest in 2030. At that point, with the ACC contract ticking up, the ACC should add 4-6 teams to pre-backfill for FSU, Clemson, UNC, Miami, etc before they leave in 2036. This would ensure the ACC remains #3. I would rank the following teams on the ACC's 2030 list
1. Oregon
2. Washington
3. UCF (assuming FSU and Miami leave)
4. Colorado
5. Arizona or ASU but not both
6. Cal and/or Stanford
7. OK St
8. 1 Texas school
9. Kansas
10. 2nd Texas school
11. WVU
The ACC is going to lose FSU, Clem, and UNC for sure. Probably Miami, a Virginia, and maybe Duke since their basketball team adds value. So we can from 14 to 20 to 14 to 16 or 18.
