I think OSU and WSU.....

are challenging the process and WHO actually has a say in the dissolution or future. The break up occurred when the others left, so it was already done. The ACC is a functioning conference with a long term media contract so any move to dissolve is different than the PAC. In addition, besides the legal and financial hurdles, there are additional perception and public opinion issues that not only the ACC and its members will face but, will fall to the networks and conference suitors as well. I do not see things surrounding the present ACC situation having a quick, or necessarily clean, resolution. I do believe that with the benefit of more hindsight it will become clear whether the long term GOR was a hindrance or help for the conference and the majority of its members.

Why would Kliakoff want the others to have a vote? It makes no sense to me.**

He wants the PAC12 employees to be taken care of

Very shortsighted if true, some of those people might be able to stay, not
Stech 09/12/23 09:18 AM ET
He has a contract, and the rest of the employees would want a favorable

My first move if I'm the Beavs-Cougs axis is fire that loser.**

Precedent being set does not bode well for FSU/CLEM/UNC.

They’re not leaving w/o @ least the majority, which they have until June 30
Stech 09/11/23 09:38 PM ET
There's no way the SEC & B1G agree to take 8 ACC teams in the next 9 months
tarheelblue 09/11/23 09:55 PM ET
It’s not probable, but it’s possible, you’ve closed the door completely,
Stech 09/12/23 09:13 AM ET
I suppose it's theoretically possible but the odds are near 0. **
tarheelblue 09/12/23 12:15 PM ET
Maybe, but I think you might be underrating ESPN and Fox on expansion and
Stech 09/12/23 12:28 PM ET
I think you're underestimating the legal and financial hurdles
tarheelblue 09/12/23 12:39 PM ET
I think OSU and WSU.....
2hhoop3 09/12/23 12:57 PM ET
I think it is unlikely, but if the majority leave, I don't think it will
Stech 09/12/23 12:52 PM ET
Let's assume they voted against it because they want to dissolve the ACC
tarheelblue 09/12/23 01:01 PM ET
Right now, is the operative word, they say that a lot, & then Texas, OU,
Stech 09/12/23 02:17 PM ET
And all those were only added after the GoR had expired.
tarheelblue 09/12/23 02:47 PM ET
Again, I think you are probably right, but never say never. :-)**
Stech 09/12/23 05:23 PM ET
I don't see it either.
EDGEMAN 09/12/23 08:22 AM ET
Which brings us to the ACC's next move in 2030
ren_hoek 09/12/23 07:26 AM ET
No way that the SEC/B1G take any school with the GOR looming
mrcaniac 09/11/23 10:42 PM ET
Good for them. I hope they can keep the PAC alive
HokieAl 09/11/23 06:17 PM ET
Most excellent.
