it isn't
takes 3/4 to change the constitution/bylaws which is where the reference to the GOR lies.
[ edit: "1.6.2 Required Vote..."The Absolute Three-Fourths Matters are as follows: (i) the admission of new Members to the Conference pursuant to Section 1.4.3, (ii) the expulsion, suspension or probation of a Member pursuant to Section 1.4.4, (iii) any amendment of this Constitution, (iv) any amendment of the Bylaws (except amendments to Article 2.5), and (v) waiver of notice or other required process for a Board meeting pursuant to Section 1.5.1.5.2."
and
"2.10.1 Grant of Rights. The Members have granted to the Conference the right to exploit certain media and related rights of the Members (such rights, the “Media Rights”; and the agreement pursuant to which the Members granted such rights, the “Grant of Rights”).]
As I posted below, if the football members want to make more $$$, they can do it in the ACC right now...give teams ALL of the income from their OOC games in all sports. It is an accounting exercise and would incentivize playing more high profile games. The big football and basketball schools would do quite well. But this has the same impediment the GOR does, the need for 3/4 vote to change the constitution/bylaws.
Barring a 3/4 vote the GOR is what it is until it expires...8 isn't enough to do anything
