I get the regional rivalries/reduced travel cost, but .... I don't see us leaving a stable conference with a great commissioner for an unstable conference, with a bunch of infighting between basketball and football schools, and a ND overlord. The ACC is more likely to implode than find a way to become on par with the SEC/B10. And never forget, the ACC hasn't wanted WVU, and certain members (e.g., UVA) openly mocked us as inbred hillbillies.

If that does happen, it would be massive and continue to change the landscape of college football. Adding WVU and Kansas makes much more sense geographically than Stanford and Cal do.
