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
