He had to know that FSU and Clemson were seriously considering making the jump. This just greases the ledge.

Once the ACC crumbles, Slive will have a better shot at grabbing the true marquee programs without looking like the guy who started the dominoes.

FSU and Clemson are going to join the Big 12, and two ACC teams will almost certainly join the SEC. This will not completely kill the ACC, though. One thing I learned from the last go-round is that the shit runs downhill. The ACC will ad teams from an even weaker conference to survive.

The eight team playoff is coming. It's inevitable.

I could see most of that. He's waiting for the ACC to crumble to grab the states that he wants....which I would assume are NC & VA.
