Right now it is a 3 way standoff. SEC, BIG, and ND

Once ND makes a move then the rest of the dominoes fall. If ND to BIG, then Oregon and UW (and a third from either PAC, B12, ACC) next and get to 20. At that point three things happen. 1. if ND makes a move then someone found a way out of the GOR, which opens up the whole ACC 2. SEC grabs four more to get to 20. Likely all four from ACC, but possible they grab 1 or 2 from B12. 3. B12 will then be the key because both the ACC and PAC will be looking to merge with them for survival The PAC will actually be in the weakest position because of location. Their only options to survive are to merge with teams from the Mountain West or B12. The ACC will have multiple options of teams from B12, MAC, CUSA, American (which are mostly ESPN controlled). In the end, Fox will have the north (and west?). ESPN will have the south and east.

ND going to B1G has minimal impact on GOR as their component is reasonably

If ND tries to leave before 2036, the ACC will enforce the GoR against them

Neither of those is part of the GOR. They are separate contract deals. **

From a contract standpoint, ND component is just as important as the rest

Because the BIG can wait. They don't need to rush since they have control
