meant to imply it was over and as you say the statement applies to now. Over time as the remaining term of the GOR lessens it will become less of a deterrent and additional time also allows for exploring other alternatives and testing strategies. The GOR did what it was intended. It provided a speed bump that schools looking to pull a "Maryland" would have to consider and to allow for a more deliberate and intentional unwinding of conference affairs should that time come as opposed to the implosions/chaos both the Big 12 and PAC 12 have or are undergoing. All of that was a fortunate byproduct of the GOR helping to seal a deal with ESPN. The thing that is still unclear at present is what avenues, if any, are available to the ACC and ESPN for adjusting the long-term agreement to reflect changes in the actual market for TV agreements.
