Interesting article from CBS Sports

I don't see how the ACC will survive as a meaningful conference with the loss of FSU and Clemson. Even more interesting in this article is the state of the athletic department at North Carolina. They are expected to have a deficit of $17 million this year.
I don't think the addition of Cal, Stanford and SMU is going to help the ACC financially.
And then there is the lawsuit NCAA v House that could potentially costs schools and conferences BILLIONS of dollars. I don't understand the nuances of the lawsuit and potential ramifications but below is a summary also from CBS Sports. (It is a fairly long read, but when they "hope" Congress will come to the rescue you know things are really screwed up)

Thoughts?
No bad blood at conference's spring meetings, but divorce between ACC, Florida State and Clemson still likely
For now, everyone is acting professionally, even if it seems inevitable Clemson and Florida State's marriage with the ACC is nearing an end
