ACC disintegration predicted if FSU, Clemson, UNC, and UVA leave conference: 'ACCXIT'

The "ACCXIT," the term longtime college football radio host Greg Swaim coined for the disintegration of the ACC, will be upon us should FSU, Clemson, UNC, and UVA all decide to leave the conference as is being forecasted by most.

"A reminder that as soon as FSU, Clemson, UNC, and UVA exit the ACC it's all over for the conference," Swaim prefaced before saying, "We're calling it the and you'd better have a safe landing spot, as it's going to be rough!"

FSU already has court filings in Leon County, Florida that contain the phrase "after FSU leaves the ACC," so the Noles are as good as gone already. Clemson is aiming to follow suit, but haven't been on the offensive quite like Florida State. Swaim predicted UVA to follow UNC's lead whenever the Tar Heels decided to pressure the ACC themselves with legal action themselves.

UNC Board of Trustees chairman accused ACC of not acting in North Carolina, FSU, or Clemson's best interests

UNC Board of Trustees chairman John Preyer didn't include UVA but did include North Carolina, FSU, and Clemson in a public gripe aimed at ACC commissioner Jim Phillips accusing the conference of not having the best interest of the top schools.

"The conference is not acting as if it is representing the best interests of the member schools including the top tier of those schools - Clemson, Florida State, North Carolina," Preyer said to WRAL's Brian Murphy. "Instead, it is acting at the expense of those schools to prop up the bottom tier of the conference in a way that I think is a gross abdication of responsibility. And I lay that at the feet of the commissioner."

That accusation isn't totally fair, since the ACC did accept SMU into the conference without a guarantee to be paid for membership for the next seven years. But if the ACC did appease its main money-makers, it wouldn't have the most relevant schools on a national scale begging to escape the ACC's Grant of Rights.
