This move for better scheduling and both performance based revenue and brand based revenue is a major shift for the ACC. I don’t think the ACC wanted all the bad press and the constant threat of the top programs leaving. So they had to make concessions. The lawsuits were embarrassing the conference. And so I think they were successful. ** Edited by HokieAl at 2/1/2025, 2:35:20 PM

So you still think the GOR was breakable?? -- PadrosWindup Jan 31, 2025 at 09:29 PM ET
