ACC collapse: 3 conference realignment moves that could trigger Pac-12 like situation for Jim Phillips

The ACC collapse could be happening very soon as the court cases between themselves and both the Clemson Tigers and Florida State Seminoles continue.

There is not a lot of confidence instilled in what the league is currently doing and we could see more teams decide to leave for greener pastures if they are given the opportunity.

Let's take a deeper dive into three other conference realignment moves that could cause the ACC collapse outside of Florida State and Clemson.

Conference realignment moves that could cause the ACC collapse

#1 Miami Hurricanes leaving the Atlantic Coast

The Miami Hurricanes are not going to be considered a major threat going forward but their history, specifically in college football, will be a massive loss that could further cause the ACC collapse to happen.

The Hurricanes have a rich history in college football and there are going to be conferences that value having the hotbed of Miami recruits as part of their future plans. If Miami were to leave, this would be a massive sign of the ACC's collapse.

#2 Duke Blue Devils looking for a new home

The Duke Blue Devils have a lot of prestige in the world of college basketball and have also proven to be one of the better college football programs in the nation.

That is really valuable to any conference, but specifically the ACC, as they are trying to hold onto one of the more underrated universities in terms of athletics.

With the rich history of the program and competing for national championships on an annual basis, there happen to be a lot of exciting opportunities that could lead to the ACC's fallout.

#3 North Carolina Tar Heels exploring their future out of ACC

The North Carolina Tar Heels have a lot of legacies themselves and could be a massive hit to the ACC if they were to leave in this era of conference realignment.

If the Atlantic Coast Conference cannot compete as a viable threat in college football, commissioner Jim Phillips is going to have to focus in basketball, and that is where the UNC Tar Heels excel.

They have one of the richest histories in men's basketball and are going to be sought after so the ACC needs to try to keep them at all costs.
