I'm not saying it won't be UVA and UNC, I'm just trying to look at motivations from those schools perspectives. Also, UNC's football program is going on probation.
So, let me ask you, why do you think UNC and UVA would want to jump? Every indication screams thei commitment to the ACC. If the B!G is still a possible option, what do you think changes their mind?

If Florida State and Clemson leave, and the SEC wants to expand, Tech and State will likely be begging to leave. If Slive can say, "look guys, we're taking two more schools from your conference...do you want to be the school to join the SEC or get left behind?" It's a pretty compelling case.
