If the courts back the ACC's play, then I am not sure the number of

dissents really matter though because they would still have no legal recourse to get out of the situation. If a judge rules in the ACC's favor (and against the 2 schools), then the presidence has been established for the remaining members of the conference. Hence why I believe a judge deciding whether 1 sentence in Section 8 of the GOR is truly the ACC's get out of jail free card or not could be critical in deciding what future path the ACC continues down.
