the purpose of the GOR is to carry out the ESPN contract

no more, no less. It is in the plain language of the GOR. With no ESPN contract, the GOR has no purpose. I think whoever judges the Clemson suit will affirm that question pretty quickly; the ACC may not even challenge it. However, the ACC won't budge on the exit fee but if Clemson gets the first question answered, they may drop the rest.

Predict where schools would go in this hypothetical scenario (B1G/SEC/Mag7)
Maroon Baboon • 03/29/24 08:05 PM ET
I would think Duke or GT is the 8th
HwoodHokie • 03/30/24 01:07 PM ET
Thanks. And solid answer.
Maroon Baboon • 03/30/24 01:19 PM ET
Yep I went back and forth on Miami
HwoodHokie • 03/30/24 01:36 PM ET
I'm also thinking that the SEC might not want to give over that recruiting
Maroon Baboon • 03/30/24 01:41 PM ET
B1G and SEC will expand
INSIDE99 • 03/30/24 01:32 AM ET
Will any current P2 teams get "kicked"?
Diehard Hokie • 03/30/24 08:08 AM ET
Never heard that one
INSIDE99 • 03/30/24 01:15 PM ET
Not in the near term, and probably not in the intermediate term...
EDGEMAN • 03/30/24 09:03 AM ET
keep in mind that ESPN could decide tomorrow not to extend
daveinop • 03/29/24 08:46 PM ET
Could you envision Syracuse in The PAC? Not likely. Not impossible.
33laszlo99 • 03/29/24 11:20 PM ET
They may, but that wouldn’t make much sense
Marooned • 03/29/24 09:57 PM ET
The GOR and the ESPN contract are two separate contracts. If ESPN chooses

daveinop • 03/30/24 01:57 PM ET
They are still separate contracts. Ending one does not end the
wwhokie1 • 03/30/24 02:44 PM ET
totally get your point but
daveinop • 03/30/24 05:02 PM ET
But a serious cut in funding could either be a way to break the contract...
EDGEMAN • 03/30/24 07:25 AM ET
Which schools are you assuming are in the Mag-7?**
tarheelblue • 03/29/24 08:11 PM ET
UNC, FSU, NCSt, Mia, VT, UVa, Clemson
Maroon Baboon • 03/29/24 08:16 PM ET
So what happens to the ACC auto bids to the playoffs/NCAAs & bowl tie ins?
Marooned • 03/29/24 09:43 PM ET
Lose it
GALOISGROUP • 04/01/24 01:50 PM ET
Georgia Tech or Duke might get some interest from the B1G
tarheelblue • 03/29/24 08:18 PM ET
No P2 league is taking on a 30k seat football stadium with ~15k attendance**
hokieZ71 • 03/29/24 09:38 PM ET
Duke's football stadium capacity is 40k, which is more than Vanderbilt
tarheelblue • 03/29/24 09:51 PM ET
If Vanderbilt was on the outside now, they would never get invited in. **
wwhokie1 • 03/30/24 02:52 PM ET
Maybe. But Vandy and Northwestern have staked safe haven…
