NC State
If the Tar Heels and Blue Devils are defecting for the SEC, then you can probably bet that the Wolfpack will, too–and why not? The SEC would offer more revenue sharing for NC State, and again, relations with the State have been tarnished.

While the ACC was a strong and thriving conference at one time, the foundation in Noth Carolina seems to have crumbled, which means that programs like Clemson and Florida State will take notice, and seriously reconsider joining their conference counterparts in realigning to the SEC. It just makes too much sense.

I am in agreement with GG. The ACC’s reign just might crumble from within the State of North Carolina. I would also give the Wolfpack a 30% chance of realigning with the SEC.
