Sigh. Here you go you lazy bastard:

quote:
In 2016, the ACC Council of Presidents unanimously agreed upon the current rights, which run through 2035-36 and stipulate that an ACC school’s media rights remain with the conference through that period regardless of membership status. Also in 2015, the ACC struck a deal with ESPN through 2035-36.
One ACC administrator pointed out that the grant of rights hasn’t been challenged in a court of law, but that they seem “pretty airtight.”

If Notre dame joins a conference it would constitute a change in the landscape to the point the larger schools can argue that the agreement has been broken.

Regarding the ACC, yes, there is a Grant of Rights that sounds enforceable. But a couple of the name brand teams (Clemson, FSU) will bolt because they’ll be betting that once they leave, others will follow, and the GoR will become a moot point bc the league will dissolve before 2036.
That may not be the exact way it plays out, but there is 0% chance the ACC survives until 2036.
The other most plausible scenario is the ACC merges with the SEC, with some lesser ACC teams being left out of the deal. This seems like a probable scenario since ESPN owns both the SEC and ACC networks, therefore they could facilitate an amicable merger.

The GOR is too large to break . It is a floating number but the team would give up around $300 million.....no one will risk that.....
The ACC will need to stay intact till 2036

The ACC will stick together as long as the price for leaving exceeds the price for staying. The second that point is passed, the race for the lifeboats will begin.
I'm sure that lawyers at every ACC school have top men working on it right now. Top. Men.
I have little doubt that Congress will step in at some point to regulate NIL more than it's being currently done, and that as a result, this nonsense will fade away (same with all of the conference shuffling..., because there are too many politicians, etc., to avoid it).

Outside of six games in football, Notre Dame has been in the ACC for several years, and I don't know why people continue to bring them up.

While it is fun to list potential expansion candidates, the ACC teams and Notre Dame, to their detriment, are stuck until 2036.
And the Boomers speak again.
There is no agreement set in stone. Everything is up for grabs, year to year. Just because it's written on paper means ... well ... nothing. Because that piece of paper won't get up and make anyone do anything.
Good Grief people - just Google up the history of the CFA - then tell me why everyone has to stay where they are now because papers were signed and promises were made.

It’s the very dysfunctional group with Too many politicians to get anything like that done.

THE OTHer aspect of the massive ACC grant of rights is that no one will join the ACC with the requirement to sign that GOR

If enough teams leave it'll dissolve and no one will be able to collect

Notre Dame's agreement with the ACC (remember they are a member in all other sports) stipulates that if they join a conference, it has to be the ACC.
Is that forever, or is there a time clock on it?

I could see WV or Cincy joining the ACC.

"You Know Who" kept rambling on his WV You Tube videos that was happening

It made Maryland pay out almost $35 million in exit fees when the left for the BIG.

And that was BEFORE the current ACC deal that was signed in 2016.

Contracts of any kind are meaningless pieces of paper when money is thrown on the table.

Maryland had to negotiate their exit fee in 2012 from $50 mil to $31 mil. Who at Clemson are FSU is gonna pony up 2/3 of $100 mil each to exit now?

ACC could merge with Pac12 and each coast plays the teams on their side of the U.S. and top two teams from each coast meet in Denver, CO for a 4 team playoff for one of the spots in the College Football Playoff Semifinals.
