So now you can see how the ACC might disband very soon, perhaps in the next

2 years. If we ever get an invite to the B10 or SEC we will be in the same boat, not unlike the way we got a less than equal share in the Big East in the beginning. This bodes well for us getting an invite but it will probably require a haircut versus the new league's baseline package. HOWEVER, it will like be BETTER than what we would have gotten by staying in the ACC. By this logic, it seems quite possible that the ACC will be disbanded by the fleeing members having to compensate the remaining teams. Two scenarios can achieve this, 1) the 7 or 8 teams looking to bail can compensate a few teams that won't be acquired and get the vote done. I won't take ALL of the remaining teams to be compensated, just the first ones to sign on, 2) more likely, the ones that will have B12 spots, will be the easier ones to compensate to vote to disband. Since the B12 pays pretty much the same as the ACC it shouldn't take that much additional compensation to get UL, Pitt, etc. to vote to disband. For those schools it is basically a coin-toss to leave and some extra money should get it done. It will just take a bit of money to grease the wheels and overcome the friction created by the GoR. ** Edited by TDVick at 8/6/2023, 5:46:25 PM

About the dilution... Oregon and UW will receive LESS THAN full shares
TDVick 08/06/23 05:39 PM ET
Agree, the 2030 date may be what the Big is waiting for
VTCALS72 08/07/23 09:34 AM ET
$30M/year was the initial B1G offer. UO and UW held out for $40M/year
tarheelblue 08/06/23 07:35 PM ET
Right. But even at $30 million, is that quite a bit more than they'd have

Actually behind rhe scenes is important

Good info. I didn't know that but it makes sense. People will be flying

good things come to those who wait**

What I see is there would be no financial incentive to leave before 2030.**
wwhokie1 08/06/23 07:56 PM ET
Exactly, why pay $300m to break GoR and make $45m /yr if ACC pays $40m now?
Telionis 08/06/23 08:26 PM ET
I've been saying, if the teams without a realistic invite to the SEC or BIG

Yes. See: Dan Diego State**

Does anyone know how many votes it takes to disband? This has been answered
TDVick 08/06/23 05:52 PM ET
Still think it’s 11**
hokieZ71 08/06/23 07:19 PM ET
How many votes to amend or rescind the GOR? **
seekoHoG 08/06/23 08:15 PM ET
So it's a nonstarter.
LonghornHokie 08/06/23 07:50 PM ET
I see it differently. The teams that will definitely get picked are FSU,
TDVick 08/07/23 07:13 AM ET
One could get a spot in the Big XII. Might be worth it..
hokieZ71 08/06/23 08:01 PM ET
A LOT of cash based on the ACC GOR. Take the money from FSU. **
Big12 guy 08/06/23 05:58 PM ET
Not that much. You're missing the point. Let's say it takes 3/4 vote,
TDVick 08/06/23 06:10 PM ET
No one's going to vote to dissolve the ACC so they can go to the Big 12**
wwhokie1 08/06/23 07:59 PM ET
If they are getting money from FSU and Clemson they might. What is that
TDVick 08/07/23 07:15 AM ET
They only get that money if they stay in the ACC**
wwhokie1 08/07/23 08:54 AM ET
It's called a contingent contract. If you vote "YES" to disband and
TDVick 08/07/23 11:38 AM ET
I get that, but what if the GOR isn't voted out, and a negotiated
Big12 guy 08/06/23 06:17 PM ET
I doubt that ANYONE is going to pay $200 million.
TDVick 08/06/23 06:39 PM ET
FSU might. **
Big12 guy 08/06/23 07:08 PM ET
FSU can't afford it
mrcaniac 08/06/23 07:56 PM ET
FSU would have to pay $300-$400M to leave on their own.
hokieZ71 08/06/23 07:21 PM ET
And if it was offered at 200M, do you think they would pay it? **
Big12 guy 08/06/23 07:34 PM ET
If the ACC only took $80M for GOR on top of the $120M early exit fee….
hokieZ71 08/06/23 08:09 PM ET
Separate the two transactions. Exit fee is going to happen either full

Hoop, ESPN does not pay media rights per school. They pay (reported) $240

You're wrong......

Your verbs have slipped a little downstream.
