I predict ESPN will go belly up financially well before the GOR

expires and will therefore void their contracts. The GOR will then have no teeth. What happens then is anyone's guess but VT needs to be firmly "back" within the next 2-3 years IMO.

This is probably FSU & Clemson’s game plan for leaving the ACC

No acc school is voting to dissolve to go to the big 12. That's laughable
SpeakToDamien • 08/15/23 04:34 PM ET
If schools start leaving, the ACC members will dissolve the conference.
