You might like to see it.......

but, it would never get that far. The flaw in your thinking is linking payments due to conference for breaking GOR to remedies and adjustments under ESPN contract with conference for the ACCN. They are separate documents with separate remedies and the action of the individual schools to break the GOR which would trigger possible adjustment or cancellation of ESPN contract with the conference for the network would not void the individual schools' obligation to the conference under GOR. You have got yourself caught up in a circular reasoning pattern and are ignoring causes versus results and remedies. Were it that easy to do the ACC would have folded like a cheap tent right out of the gate. Ask yourself why that has not happened already? You can bet it is not because smart lawyers just have not yet gotten around to looking at that alternative and the likelihood and risks associated with that course of action.

anotherdamnyankeehokie 07/28/22 09:03 AM ET
But wouldn't that open it up to litigation?
hokieZ71 07/27/22 11:00 PM ET
There are defined rules for any school to leave.

The ACC is a non-profit as defined and exempt by the IRS.
