Edit to add: This is a huge win for the ACC. They upgrade in football and basketball and expand into a new market, plus get a $30M check from Maryland and the Big 10.

BIG upgrade in baseball too. Dan McDonnell has that program rolling for a (former) Big East team. He's won 217 games in 5 years(43/yr). Should be a perfect fit in the ACC...
IF Maryland gets out of paying the full $50 mil price tag, I still look for the Big12 to try to raid the ACC to get to 12 or 14 teams with(ideally) FSU and Clemson. If that move is successful, the other cards will still fall IMO. UNC/UVA and NCState/VaTech have basically formed alliances to stick together, so I imagine UNC gets to basically make the decision where all 4 play...
