For those looking for a potential future revenge tour list, one way or the other, sources (which are plural and could include some bloke in a basement in South Carolina that everyone parrots) say the ACC might be breaking down like this for Stanford and Cal, although I'm not sure how SMU is being viewed other than paying their own way in. It needs to be a 3/4 majority, so with Notre Dame, 12 votes win entry. It must be far enough along, and Stanford and Cal must be interested in this enough; but who knows?

Boston College
Duke
Georgia Tech

Wake Forest
Against
Clemson
Florida State
North Carolina
On the Fence or Don't Know Lean
Miami
North Carolina State
Virginia
Virginia Tech
If only one of the don't know/fence dwellers comes out against, it's a win. If two do, or anyone else switches, Stanford and Cal need to look elsewhere for now.

Oh shoot. Just realized, that's the "magnificent seven" who are thinking of leaving.
Let 'em, take the others and form a tri-coastal conference comprised of:
Pacific Coast
California
Fresno State
Hawaii
Oregon State
San Diego State
San Jose State
Stanford
Washington State
Atlantic Coast
Boston College
Duke
Georgia Tech
Louisville
Notre Dame
Pittsburgh
Syracuse
Wake Forest
Gulf Coast
Rice
Southern Methodist
Southern Mississippi
Texas Christian (we mean business stealing from a P4 and for TCUFrog)
Texas San Antonio
Troy (back to playing the Trojans)
Tulane
Tulsa
Draw down Stanford's endowment from $36.1B to $35B and make it happen. Also OK starting off bicoastal first. Or "alive". Frankly I'm OK just being in some form of that Pacific Division.
