[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 132083070, member: 1459051"] Yes, it is about increasing revenue. That's the only reason any teams would be leaving in the first place. "Survival" is contingent on keeping the current teams in place. If the teams you mentioned are gone, there won't be an ACC to begin with. The remaining teams will partner with some other teams, and the ACC won't exist, sort of like what happened with the Big East. However, the point is that survival is only an issue to the individual schools themselves. The ACC as an entity unto itself isn't something that needs or wants to exist. It just doesn't really work that way. Otherwise, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, etc. would have been gone long ago. Like I said to the orher poster, the ACC as an entity unto itself is not really a thing. The ACC only exists to facilitate the existing schools. If all/most of the schools leave, the the ACC won't try to reconstitute itself. It will just disappear, much like what happened with the WAC years ago. [/QUOTE]
