The ACC needs Notre Dame plus 3 to get to 18, or 4 to get to 18 while N.D. keeps its special arrangement.

The SEC needs 4 to get to 18.

If Baylor is sanctioned and lose their vote, or worse get kicked out, the Big 12 would stand at 9. They would, by NCAA precedent, have two years to get back up to 10 before they lose rights given at the membership level of 10 (right now that is a potential CCG). Two years would be all they would need to set up moves.

So our question should be how should the SEC divide the 7 required schools so that dissolution would be possible without Baylor's vote or presence and if Baylor still has full membership should we look to take 8 and leave N.D. as a partial?

I'd say Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa State, and Oklahoma State to the SEC.

Texas, T.C.U., Texas Tech and West Virginia to the ACC at 4. Drop West Virginia at 3.

But this might make for a fun debate.

Dividing the Big 12 to allow the conference to be dissolved:

Here's your out-of-the-box solution.

ACC moves to 18 with Notre Dame, Missouri, Iowa State and Kansas

SEC moves to 18 with West Virginia, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech
