ACC presidents say that rumors they are looking to leave the conference are false:

Anyone want a bold prediction?
The next major move will be... Virginia Tech to the SEC.

Are you just guessing Saul, or is there a particular reason you think VTech is going to the SEC?

I have no inside knowledge, but I am reading the tea leaves a bit. The ACC is going to be broken. I see no way around it. There are too many powerful entities working towards it (B1G, SEC, Big 12) for it not to happen, especially considering that it's already been weakened. There are a million different scenarios, but nearly every one of them involves VPI to the SEC. Might as well start the dominos (actually, Jenga is the better analogy) with the inevitable move first. That severely weakens the conference's football viability. What school is already deeply concerned with said football viability? FSU. Off they go to the Big 12, likely paired with Clemson (but don't rule out Louisville). In fact, I'd say Louisville goes with FSU first, and Clemson waits to see what the Carolina schools do. At this point, UNC realizes that the jig is up and starts cutting deals. I don't know why, but I feel like they choose the SEC. Virginia and Georgia Tech go to the B1G (ever notice how the B1G logo kind of looks like B16?) In the biggest surprise of all of these moves, NC State joins Clemson in the Big 12. The Big 12 waits a while at 14 in hopes of landing Notre Dame and Duke. Failing that, they add Cincinnati and one of Syracuse, UCONN, Miami,Pitt, Duke etc.

Well, this will probably kill expansion for the B12, and that's not necessarily a bad thing:

Todd McShay has 15 SEC players drafted in the first round of his mock. He clearly hasn't seen the Sagarin rankings.

Not necessarily. The SEC has more teams to divide the payout, but they are in two BCS bowls which equals more $$. The Big 12 has less teams but will get less $$ because only K-State is in a BCS bowl.

The reality is that the Big 12 is going to be a lesser conference until they get to at least 12 teams and add a conference championship game. The GOR adds stability, but there's always the chance that Texas and/or Oklahoma puts together a deal with another conference to bolt as soon as the GOR is up. The Big 12 is opting for the quick buck via cutting the pie into fewer pieces while the power conferences are making "50 year decisions".
