McCullough went on to say the Seminoles "will at some point consider leaving the ACC" barring "radical change in revenue distribution." Other trustees were even more candid on a potential exit from the conference. FSU trustee Drew Weatherford stated, "it's not a matter of if we leave [the ACC], but how and when we leave." FSU trustee Justin Roth additionally called for an exit to come within the next year.


If the Wac still exists, then the Pac will carry on in some form. 

You could eliminate a govt agency easier than you can get rid of a conference.

As many as can get to the big 12 are going to go there. Then a call to the American. And if that doesn’t work, I guess the WAC?
Essentially you're correct, but the difference will be that IMHO the remainders of the PAC will raid the AAC/WAC/MWC or whoever they can to remain the PAC in name, just not in spirit.

Boise State will finally get their PAC invite!

It’s one of the first links in that article.
Thanks, I see it now.

Doubtful. The 12 would rather pick up the scraps of the PAC than Boise State IMHO. All the reasons that have so far kept Boise from being invited to either the PAC or the 12 are the exact same reasons than PAC leftovers are more attractive to the 12.

It "sounds" logical, but I read somewhere that UF and USCe would vote no.  I wonder what the thinking is in Chapel Hill and Charlottesville.

I'd prefer UNC and UVA.  
Florida, UGA, and USCe have a sort of pact to vote 'no' on FSU, GT, and Clemson.  But with an expanded conference and a lack of other SEC programs in a similar situation, I don't think they could block it anymore.  A&M had been in the same boat, but no longer.  Maybe OU is now. 
Anyways, UNC and UVA bring academics, recruiting grounds, expanded footprint (still in the south), and average football programs to kind of act as fodder for the football-crazy schools.
These conferences need to be wary...if all you add are elite football schools, you're going to have perennial powers dropping like flies.
Add UNC and UVA for those legit reasons, and let them take on the additional losses new teams cause.

I've read before that UF, SouthCar, and UGA all had a "gentleman's agreement" to all vote as a block to prevent any potential expansion target in any one of their states in.

I think it works if they get 25% voting "no."  As long as OU joins the trio keeping OK State out, they have that.
