"Notable sources" are once again unnamed....

"Reportedly", "Believing" , bla bla bla....... IMHO, "IF" any ACC school knew a way out of the GOR, they would've already reported it. Of the ACC schools listed, only UVA and UNC have enough cash to leave right now. I honestly don't think UVA and UNC really want to leave their beloved ACC. Clemson and FSU are the poorest universities in the ACC along with Louisville. All the other ACC schools have endowments over $1 billion.

Don't forget the $120M exit fee that is NOT tied to the GOR**

Ya, the exit fee that is negotiable like everything else. **

Someone figured out how to monetize the internet ... other than Spurtle?
TDVick • 10/12/23 06:57 AM ET
I see SEC taking 8 in your scenario
MrFantastic! • 10/11/23 01:57 PM ET
If GT was in, IMHO it would have been the Mag 8, it wasn’t for a reason, GT
Stech • 10/11/23 02:06 PM ET
ok ...
MrFantastic! • 10/11/23 03:11 PM ET
That doesn’t answer the question why it was the Mag 7 plus 1, maybe things
Stech • 10/11/23 04:55 PM ET
I’m hoping Tulane gets an offer from the ACC. Great location for a road
seekoHoG • 10/11/23 12:28 PM ET
Tulane is an old SEC rival of Georgia Tech
HOO86 • 10/11/23 01:50 PM ET
I agree. Give BC and Cuse a new rival. **
seekoHoG • 10/11/23 02:17 PM ET
Tulsa? WTF?
Truthahn • 10/10/23 07:40 PM ET
Tulsa has zero chance of being in a power conference. If you don't
Big12 guy • 10/11/23 10:39 AM ET
UConn is fb Indy now in the big east.
Truthahn • 10/12/23 07:43 PM ET
I don't think so. I think they like the Big East for basketball & non revs
Big12 guy • 10/12/23 08:48 PM ET
What is likely to happen is when the B12 is up for tv negotiations again,

That must be some good S@#$ you are smoking. :-)**
Atlee Hokie • 10/10/23 09:55 PM ET
That is wishful thinking. **

We've seen much crazier things than that possible scenario!**

Sky high exit fees will keep B12s at home. Not Gonzaga.
Truthahn • 10/10/23 07:56 PM ET
The only thing that will entice any team to leave the B12 is a P2 invite. I

Almost everyone on this board agrees with you.

It would be interesting to see what donors are ponying up
VT ChemE 1986 • 10/10/23 05:27 PM ET
$100+ million is only the first installment.

Only two even possible are USF and Tulane due to Academic rankings.**

I will say that USF would not be a bad trade for Miami.**
