The impending defection from Oklahoma and Texas from the Big XII to the SEC will impact the other 128 FBS teams, particularly all Power Five conferences, including the Miami Hurricanes. The ACC will have many options on how to respond but is bound by a TV deal through 2036 that is viewed as antiquated by some analysts.

The Miami Hurricanes and Virginia Tech were part of the first major wave of expansion for the ACC in 2004. Georgia Tech was the first team to join the conference after the eight founding members in 1953.
