The ACC is like a dead man walking

Once the top three or four brands leave, media revenue will get adjusted, recruiting for the leftover programs will get tougher and the death spiral will commence. The ACC is headed for Group of 6 status and no one from the Big12 is going to be interested in coming over (unless something unexpectedly catastrophic happens to the Big12 first).

Even if the GOR and media contract remains in tact until 2036, will all the

That’s a valid question.
RandomAsianGuy • 07/03/25 12:48 PM ET
Do the exit fees still apply if the school departs after the GOR expires
VTHokie2000 • 07/03/25 12:54 PM ET
Not sure. But most actions will happen around 2030 in my opinion. **
