So they found a way around the Grant of Rights? Explain how they did this and I'll believe it.

FSU and Clemson are the ACC's biggest revenue generators, they aren't letting them go without a fight, and the contract is heavily in the ACC's favor for a long period of time.

Right. And the SEC needs to be better in the basketball world than the Football world. God knows I strongly dislike NC, but they're a better fit right now..

Yes. That is why I think UNC +‘Duke should be the next 2 on the list.

That would give us 3 basketball blue bloods. Kansas should be considered as well if we go past 20. No one could top that.

The settlement left the athletics directors at some of the continuing Big 12 schools “kind of dumbfounded,” Kansas State athletics director Gene Taylor said. “We fought back as hard as we could,” but he said the conference’s lawyers advised them, Yormark and the schools’ presidents and chancellors that the bylaws were “not as rock-solid as everybody thought and we could be tied up on lawsuits forever.”

Link: USA Today

It is believed that Texas and Oklahoma finally found a way out of the GOR.. and the ACC supposedly used the same GOR as the Big 12.

If that is true.. it would be pretty easy to give this info to Clemson and FSU.

This shite needs to DIAF in its current state.

It'll end up being major football schools that are perplexed when the basketball schools tell them to frick off when they want to be in the basketball tourney.

Let these football schools rot on the vine when they're playing other football schools weekly.

They need football only conferences. Coast to coast for non-football sports is a bad thing.

I wouldn’t call A&M or South Carolina babies. We just know how these fan bases are… I mean you have seen the Texas fans since the announcement right? And the God awful Clemson posters?

Not sure what charter members have to do with blocking.

I think charter membership can only block expulsion (their own) but could be wrong.

I’d love for the sec, big12 and big10 to disassociate from ncaa and re form in to about 4 12 team Leagues.

Go back to making conference championship being the first round of an 8 team playoff.

David Hood, a Clemson beat writer, posted a lengthy post on tigernet.com pouring cold water on all the rumors. He said Clemson does NOT have an invite from any other league and nothing is imminent. The meeting of the BOT at Clemson scheduled for Oct is a regular meeting, scheduling some time ago. The other Clemson posters acknowledged he has legitimate sources.

Some speculate that all this "sooner rather than later" talk from Clemson is simply the school using this as leverage with its negotiations with the ACC for revenue split next year with the addition of the 3 new schools.

Can’t believe we wouldn’t go after Virginia and UNC. Take all four and call it a day


If you are going to go that big, swing for the fences and make it Notre Dame and UNC.

Virginia is trash.
