They could claim it all they want, doesn't change the facts

If the conference can be dissolved by 8 votes, it's because the conference charter allows it. Again, I've never read the charter, just going with what's been said here over and over, if it's not true, the point is irrelevant because the 8 can't dissolve it so it won't happen. If it can, because the charter says they can, then the others have no claim that they left or anything. Sure they can sue, but it won't cost much to litigate that because it will get thrown out before a judge sits down.

I Don't Know if the ACC will ever be Dissolved
WarHog38 • 08/02/23 03:25 PM ET
I still think ACC should let schools own their OOC TV revenues

Trademarks are only protected while they are being used.

ACC is a Registered Trademark just like the SEC
WarHog38 • 08/02/23 03:15 PM ET
I don't know if Registered Trademarks have the Perpetuity you Claim.

"The Beatles" trademark is still in use.

Why wouldn't FSU just financially entice 7 others to leave?
RonMexicoHokie • 08/02/23 02:41 PM ET
It has not been verified that 8 schools could dissolve the conference.
wwhokie1 • 08/02/23 10:54 PM ET
That would probably constitute tortious interference and be illegal. **

I guess the new ACC can be named The Rossington Collins Band. ;)**
