It’s good if you value a slow death over a quick one…

Simply put, for a some of schools in the ACC (e.g. BC/Wake) it’s a good thing because the most likely alternative is worse, for some (e.g. Clemson/UNC/FSU) it’s definitely worse than the most likely alternative because they probably have a landing spot in the P2, and then for the rest (e.g. VT/NCST) they are in kind of a murky situation where things will probably turn out better but could also turn out worse than the status quo. The reality is there is no way the current situation persists until 2036, the current deficit of ACC schools will eventually leave them all in non-competitive state (barring some major development or re-negotiation in of course) - a deficit of 30-50M a year will kill not only football but entire athletic departments, it’s simply untenable. That GOR is giving some stability right now sure, but that same “cure” will turn into the poison that kills us.

I'm still trying to decide if the ACC GOR is good or bad

Good. Without it, we would be minus FSU, Clemson, UNC and maybe one more.

I think VT would have found a home in either SEC or BIG if they were free

You think way to highly of our value in this

Nobody is assured of anything because we don't know how big the P2 gets
