How wealthy are Clemson's top donors?

That GOR and exit fee won't come cheap. I find it interesting that the two ACC schools that want out the most have the lowest endowments in the conference. UVA could likely pay their way out of the ACC but I don't think it's in their DNA. UNC leaving would be more shocking than Clemson and FSU and probably more damaging to the ACC since they are synonymous with the ACC. There's no secret that Clemson and FSU want to leave. UNC hasn't said much, if anything. Clemson in the Big Ten would be unnatural but it's very possible in this new age of conference realignment. I'm sure USC-E wouldn't be thrilled to have Clemson in the SEC. I guess if Clemson and FSU depart, the ACC adds powerhouses like Tulane, South Florida, Rice or UConn? Clemson can renew its former relationship with Maryland. ;) ** Edited by Old Line Hokie at 11/15/2023, 11:28:47 PM

I think Mercury is mostly correct. Sands and by default Babcock

One point, perception of VT Don have money or investing is not true
Mercury • 11/16/23 01:39 PM ET
If there is an offer for VT to go to the SEC, they would go. If there is

Stech • 11/15/23 08:35 PM ET
He spilled a whole bucket of rumors. Here are some highlights...
33laszlo99 • 11/15/23 10:29 PM ET
He can take ND off of this list now. They have a new TV contract.**
