IMHO, by letting them out, you open the door for others to leave, so don’t

see that happening. Many believe the SEC and B1G want at least 4 teams, probably more. However, if schools have the opportunity to make more money with the new expense of paying players coming, they will go. So I keep asking how does ESPN make more money by blowing up the ACC? I still haven’t seen anybody come close to making a sound argument on that. Second, how are FSU and Clemson going to get out without huge penalties? Like 500 million in penalties (their number not mine in the December lawsuit) would likely crush their finances. Even if they go to a P2, and there is no sign that either P2 has the votes to get them in. If the B12 uses Private Equity money, that’s not free money, it’s the opposite of free. So I don’t see how they get a net gain out of that either.

What 3 schools moving would make financial sense on both sides of that?**

For starters, the Mag 7 is about as legitimate as the Alliance.

I thought it was a legit question based on the talk of the mag 7

Not brought up enough, ACC copied the B12 GOR, both would bust if 1, bust.**

Yes, but it is a discussion because of the ACC, not the B12. **

If you are going to consider Cincy, then why not consider L'ville too?

That's what I think with the PAC, and I also think a 14 team ACC+BigXII

Agree.

Exit fees would have to be enforced whenever applicable.

All remaining schools would have to agree in writing, which is unlikely.**
