The B1G is definitely being the most assertive right now-and if the exit fee is not upheld, they are definitely the strongest threat to poach more teams from the ACC. And your last point is also accurate-while i didn’t mention that specifically, I would say that is what my last paragraph is generally alluding to (particularly as a precursor to even more ridiculous movements, assuming they take place).

I think Clemson and Florida State have already looked deeply into those contracts and seen signs of weakness for anyone not named Texas. Given that the SEC won’t take any key ACC football programs (they don’t need to, and their members don’t want another program from the state of a current member), I think only the B1G is a current threat. I suspect the real question will revolve around seeing what really happens to Maryland, the battle for the exit fee, and whether the B1G really does see a windfall from their poaching Maryland and Rutgers.
