Been on X a lot this morning and seeing a lot of posts like this. Thoughts
ACC schools that have contacted B12 in the past 20 hours: VT, Pitt, Cuse, NCST, GT, Miami, Louisville, BC, Wake. There is a LOT of fear and a lot of smoke. There’s also possibly enough votes to dissolve the GOR according to some of those conversations.

No one is dissolving the GOR to go to the BigXII. BigXII propaganda is
embarrasing really. BTW, ESPN and Fox would LOVE if the ACC broke up so that the best brands could go to the SEC or B1G while everyone else goes and finds a home in what will soon be a G5 conference.

If someone on X says they have oceanfront property in AZ, do you believe it

Exactly. To me the B12 does nothing for ACC schools.
right now the ACC holds the only power over the TV/P2 because there are several football "rainmakers" or potential national football rainmakers still tied to the ACC. B12 has nothing.

correct and despite the noise, they can't afford to go anywhere
even if they had an invite, which they don't

Nothing more than......
the Big 12 propaganda machine shifting in to high gear again. They are very good at stirring the waters to promote the future of their G5 pretending to be a power conference agenda.

You can just say Twitter, everyone knows what it is

You answered your own question. If you've been on X
you're hearing from the lunatic fringe, amplified. Lots of dummies on there shouting their totally uninformed opinions and spreading gossip, rumors, and outright lies. Twitter/X is the 21st century version of giving the village idiot a bullhorn and a stage.

Yeah, like some of those outrageous
conspiracy theories pushed in 2020

"Dissolve the GOR?" The ACC isn't killing that contract. Only way out is...
...a negotiated settlement. Do you realize how much money that would take? Where are those ACC schools going to come up with the dollars it would take to talk their way out of the GOR?

That is either a fake or troll account. Not sure which, but either way he
has no idea.

Well it’s just one of many posts. They are everywhere.

Just everyone taking that one guy and running with it.
It doesn't even make sense if you think about it. "These ACC teams are concerned about life in the ACC without FSU/Clemson so they are going to jump into the Big 12 without Texas and Oklahoma!"

Just to be clear, I’m not agreeing with any of this or saying there’s any
truth to it…. Just pointing out that’s it’s swirling around out there on several social media platforms.
