that the other conferences wanted(and most fans) to protect his precious Dabos. I don`t thing the PAC-12 would have imploded, although that may have happened anyway. By not expanding the playoffs I think the some of these schools/conferences decided that they better go after money somewhere else. If that is why all this is happening, then the old karma is a ***** applies to the ACC. Looks like Maryland getting out of ACC wasn`t the bad move most people thought it was. Hopefully the ACC will rot and Clemson will rot along with the others. I do wish SEC would get N.C. State or Wake Forest, or Virginia or Virginia Tech. That would expand the footprint so to speak and severely damage the ACC further.
