Even that might not solve the problem. The teams that did not want to

Dissolve the conference would probably sue the others claiming the remnant still represents the official ACC, and try to retain that name. And being the official ACC they are still owed the exit fees and still retain media rights of the schools that left. They would also claim to have the rights to all of the NCAA basketball tournament money that is forthcoming. Which would probably result in a long legal fight, and some negotiated settlement.

I Don't Know if the ACC will ever be Dissolved

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.

"The Beatles" trademark is still in use.

That would probably constitute tortious interference and be illegal. **

I guess the new ACC can be named The Rossington Collins Band. ;)**
