Even though the ACC owns the TV rights what happens if the ACC dissolves? Is that a possibility?

Make a list of teams that will be better off if the ACC dissolves.

Now make a list of teams who will be worse off.

Ok now tell me if there is a chance in fire popping **** that there are anywhere near enough votes to override the GOR and dissolve the conference.

Sad face.

As discussed in the Conference realignment thread the problem is not the exit fee but the GOR with the ACC that runs through 2036.

Basically, the ACC owns the TV rights of every school until 2036.

120 million it’s not even close to the real amount of money that you need in order to leave the conference.

This is a freaking shame

Thought I read on here somewhere a while back that if a certain (small) amount of teams decided to leave that there was a clause that the rest of teams could leave w/out penalty? Or something like that?

If the ACC dissolves, at least 9 teams could find a better home in the B1G, SEC, PAC12, or Big12. All 4 already issue more per team than the ACC and could improve with a few teams.

The B1G and SEC could add Miami, Clemson, FSU and benefit.

Pitt, NCState, UNC, GT, UVA, VT could all increase per team share at either the Big12 or PAC.

Duke has basketball and a rivalry with UNC so they could find a better home

Louisville is committed to athletics and willing to spend $$$ so they could find a home in the Big12.

BC has Boston which is a large media market but not that much into college sports..same with Syracuse.

Wake Forest, sorry.
 
They're probably counting votes right now.

The ACC won't survive this without some major contractual changes (unequal revenue sharing) and adding ND and stealing a few premier teams from the PAC12 (Oregon, Washington, Arizona schools maybe?)

And I don't think the ACC has the leadership vision or clout to actually get things done.

I’m just asking what would happen if that were to occur. Would the ACC still exist in some form and be able to retain those rights through 2036. Kind of like when Seattle SuperSonics left Seattle but retained the naming rights? I know dumb example but something to that

I also think there is a lot of teams that would benefit by leaving.

It’s been a while since I’ve looked at the agreement. Is there a clause that if one team breaks the agreement then it’s re-opened including being able to drop without penalty? If so, Desantis and the legislature should do the right thing and pay for FSU to leave.

I’m sorry but you think taxpayers should pay for FSU to get out of a deal that it signed off on?

exactly. Fsu complains, Clemson complains. Maybe we complain, sets the stage for unequal revenue convos which then causes other schools to complain. Starts to destabilize the conference and starts the dissolution of the conference as some low revenue schools say they didnt sign GOR for unequal share and high revenue schools saying they didnt sign on for carrying the weight of creating the revenue. Make everyone unhappy and see the lawsuits begin. Then maybe a tipping point when an invitation from another conference becomes public. How dedicated do you think remaining schools will be to fund lawsuits for a conference that they see wont exist in 3 years. (Sarcasm)->Going to be syracuse and wake forest paying acc legal bills to collect media rights settlements for the other 12 that left.

They're talking a big game for a University that couldn't afford to replace the urinals at their on campus stadium.
