re: If the SEC adds Clemson and FSU, I think that'll be the end of SEC expansion

What I understand, is that the number of schools required would be eight.
8 schools leaving would break whatever clause forces a penalty to be paid.

I looked at the ACC bylaws a while back and they are silent on the subject, so I think that some folks are making the logical leap that a bare majority could vote to dissolve the conference, or maybe that a bare majority could vote to terminate the contract. I don't think either of those are true. As to dissolution, I believe the state of incorporation is North Carolina and some kind of super majority is required to terminate the deal. And, from my recollection, I don't think the contract can be terminated by majority vote as I believe that an amendment requires all schools to sign off, but perhaps I'm wrong about that.

At any rate, I would take that claim that 8 schools is enough with a big grain of salt.
