CFB insider predicts the fate of remaining ACC teams that could end up being Oregon State and Washington State of Atlantic Coast in 2024

The ACC is one of the conferences seemingly on the verge of a collapse, similar to what we just witnessed with the Pac-12 Conference as 10 of their 12 programs have now officially joined new conferences. The Atlantic Coast Conference is currently in legal battles with the Florida State Seminoles and the Clemson Tigers, so a lot riding on the decision that comes out of the courtroom.

With a gif of the 1997 Academy Award's Best Picture The Titanic, college football insider Greg Swaim gave a chilling report about the state of the Atlantic Coast Conference going forward.

"A year ago we told you exactly what was going to happen in the Pac-12 and it did. A year later we're telling you the same fate will happen to the ACC, with their top teams going to the SEC, Big Ten and Big 12, and the remaining 'holdouts' will very likely be having talks with (Oregon State) and (Washington State). Lifeboats will be in short supply very soon."

This is something that has been speculated but nothing official has come out as of yet. It will be something to keep a note of as people continue to wait for the official ruling of the state of the conference.

Why would schools want to leave the ACC?

The Atlantic Coast Conference is not in a great state and there are definitely reasons for programs associated with the ACC to want to leave. One of the main reasons is the media rights contract. The ACC's share per school is significantly lower compared to the other three Power Four conferences.

If there is less money in the ACC, why haven't teams left yet?

Despite the Atlantic Coast Conference's issues, the teams have difficulty leaving the conference, which is one of the main reasons both Florida State and Clemson are suing the conference. The Atlantic Coast Conference's Grant of Rights deal would cost schools $574 million to leave the conference before the expiration of the deal.

This is the way the conference has fought off teams leaving the school and the Grant of Rights is the major point of contention in the ongoing lawsuit.
