Lots of pros.
On the con side
1.[BGCOLOR=initial] Getting out of GOR would require extensive litigation[/BGCOLOR]
2. Guessing which acc teams have a home in other conferences, and assuming there are 8 teams that would vote to dissolve ACC, and that the teams without homes aren't going to do everything in their power to stop the other teams from leaving
3. Dissolving acc doesn't necessarily end GOR
4. Pride can be a *****. When Rad was Clemsons [BGCOLOR=initial]AD, he fully endorsed the 20 yr GOR deal and said it was "forward looking" and would keep the acc together. And that coming off Clemson playing in the national championship when their stock was sky high. Now he basically has two choices - he can either take the position that he endorsed a terrible deal and try to get UM out of it, or he can try to salvage it to protect his pride, in which case he'll likely push for the acc /Pac12 merger.

[BGCOLOR=initial] I think a lot of ACC ADs are going to agree that the easiest road FOR NOW, is the acc/pac12 merger (possibly with different revenue splits. My personal opinion is that Rad will agree to the latter option as a bandaid, and then a few years from now UM will try to jump to the B1G or SEC.[/BGCOLOR]
[BGCOLOR=initial] Before certain posters get finger diarrhea and start crapping all over this thread saying that I don't know anything, I admit I don't have any inside information. This is just my opinion, so take your immodium AD and calm the f#ck down.[/BGCOLOR]
