If it takes 12 out of 15 to invite
Is it the same number to remove ACC members? If that ever happened would ACC /ESPN be obligated to pay out until 2036 to that school. If not it could be addition by subtraction to help remaining members close the revenue gap - I hate thinking this way but I’ve seen where even SEC and Big 10 may have to make these unpleasant choices in years to come w schools not pulling their weight ** Edited by Hokie12thman at 8/14/2023, 5:31:25 PM ** Edited by Hokie12thman at 8/14/2023, 6:05:23 PM

Yes it's 12 votes (75% majority) to add or expel members.

What can we do to get kicked out?
Would have to be pretty bad given Miami and UnC. Might be worth a shot though.

I say, for every one you let in, you gotta get rid of one.

I’d say expelling anyone is next to impossible
… at least for the purpose of increasing revenue. Every school has its hooks and friends

It's either about $$$ or it's not...expelling just on a different time line

Wake would have at least four "we're not kicking them out" votes.
It will be hard on the NC schools to boot any of the tobacco road teams. Maybe by 2031, if we are staring down implosion, and beginning TV deal negotiations.
