I am confident the topic is addressed in either the conference's charter

or bylaws because it is basic contracting 101 to include a section and the appropriate clauses to address the termination (or ending) of a contract early which includes dissolving a contract. It was a very simple matter to dissolve the Great West Conference and it didn't take much effort to dissolve the Big East Football Conference. It isn't unreasonable think the same would be true for the ACC because a conference isn't going to take the time to re-invent the wheel when it comes to the information found in a conference's charter or core bylaws.

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

8 could hardly get them to negotiate on uneven revenues, so

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.
WarHog38 • 08/02/23 03:45 PM ET
"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. ;)**
