The ACC settlement with FSU / Clemson included a clause that permits the OPTION OF LIMITED WITHDRAWAL - SINGLE SPORT EXIT.
If 6 schools decide to leave the ACC IN ONE SPORT either for a super league or other affiliation together, they may exit IN THAT SPORT from the
ACC by notifying prior to June 1 for the following season, and upon notification must pay the reduced exit fee of $75 Million dollars.

In the event that the protect college sports act is passed with a cap of 20 and a 3 year independent requirement ... it would then be possible for the 6 ACC schools to notify the ACC that they are using the OPTION OF LIMITED WITHDRAWAL effective for the 2028 season, exit in football only for $75Million exit fee, leaving all other programs playing ACC schedules, and the 6 team "independent conference" would have games scheduled with B10 / SEC and other conferences ... with media partner and conference assistance. This almost seems to be an end to which ESPN brokered the ACC settlement of the law suits.
