You make it sound like the GOR and the ESPN contract are the same thing.
Maroon Baboon • 03/21/24 10:55 PM ET
If ESPN pulls the funding and the ACC implodes, it will be cheaper to buy..
EDGEMAN • 03/22/24 06:46 AM ET
The GoR has always been tied to the ESPN deals
INSIDE99 • 03/22/24 01:24 AM ET
Not necessarily....
2hhoop3 • 03/22/24 01:23 PM ET
Only a court can determine whether the GOR is separate from the ESPN deal
VTCALS72 • 03/22/24 12:35 PM ET
Courtrooms in the US
INSIDE99 • 03/22/24 01:04 PM ET
What basis is there to say the ACC essentially "destroyed" anything?
VTCALS72 • 03/22/24 01:24 PM ET
The ACC is Tier 2 football making Tier 2 football money
INSIDE99 • 03/22/24 03:07 PM ET
Since you just joined this board this month, I guess we should call

Your contention.....

Clemson and FSU are leaving
INSIDE99 • 03/22/24 03:57 PM ET
Any school can leave whenever they want. Pay the required fees,

Assumptions go both directions

I do not believe......

Thanks for clarifying. Some thoughts...

IMO, that is primarily what the Clemson suit is about; i.e.,

Discovery
INSIDE99 • 03/22/24 01:16 PM ET
Hope you're right on discovery, Sunshine. It will increase my amusement.**
saret • 03/22/24 09:21 PM ET
What if the only real discovery is that the top 4 made a bad deal then
VTCALS72 • 03/22/24 01:20 PM ET
Not the same type of Discovery **

ESPN has a tough decision here. If they don't renew, the best football
Maroon Baboon • 03/22/24 10:17 AM ET
I can not see a way the HOOs and UNC would consider the SEC.
Atlee Hokie • 03/22/24 10:25 PM ET
I’m sure he hangs out here, wish he’d post here after an article like this.
Stech • 03/21/24 09:58 AM ET
I do not think W&M has any desire to compete in big time athletics though.

Given that JMU makes sense as a potential VA replacement school for the ACC

Academics really pulls in the TV $$$$ and pumps up ticket sales 😂
Pylons • 03/22/24 12:32 PM ET
If it gets to the point where the ACC is discussing JMU then everyone else

Syracuse will join the Big 12. BC and Wake are screwed.

If everyone except BC and Wake has a new home ...

The Big 12 schools do not want SMU........
2hhoop3 • 03/21/24 04:33 PM ET
I don’t think the Big 12 has ever run from SMU

SMU brings nothing to the Big 12
Millpoint • 03/21/24 04:06 PM ET
Well, they also bring nothing to the ACC so...**
HokieNoVA • 03/21/24 06:14 PM ET
But the ACC is not a serious athletic conference, and was desperate**
Hokie 04 • 03/21/24 07:38 PM ET
SMU will be competitive if they can recruit at the same level as

Most likely because I believe JMU's most recent ranking is somewhere in the

UNC scandal is much more embarrassing than anything Louisville did

Probably so, but people are willing to overlook it because of UNC's name.**

Agreed, JMU is on par with several ACC schools academically.
