[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe Notre Dame is the key as to whether or not there is a viable exit option for ACC member schools.

Notre Dame plays ice hockey in the Big Ten and Notre Dame football is quasi-independent in that it has agreed to only play 5 ACC football opponents per year and NBC, not ESPN, has the TV media rights to any & all regular season Notre Dame home football games. Lots of exceptions to ACC membership for Notre Dame.

Boston College plays ice hockey in the Hockey East all ice hockey conference.

Is more of a legal contractual matter than a sports issue.

[b]The school with the most to lose if the ACC crumbles is probably Wake Forest University, then Duke & NC State (all of which are located in North Carolina).[/b]

Notre Dame probably needs to make the first move as it has the loosest relationship with the ACC among the 15 schools.[/quote]

Where do BCC and Syracuse land? Does the Big 12 really take Pitt and Louisville? Does the Big10 actually want UVA and UNC? Does the SEC actually want VT? I think Miami and GT are the best positioned and that FSU and Clemson think they are well positioned. Assuming that UNC is sure about the Big10 offer, that's 5 that have a definite landing spot that is an upgrade (or at least believe that they have one). [/quote]

I think the B1G would take:
UVA
UNC
Ga Tech
Miami

The SEC would take:
Clemson
FSU
VaTech
NC St(?)

Leaving:
BC
Syracuse
Duke
Wake Forest
Louisville
Pitt

The Big 12 would surely take some, but I imagine BC, Duke, and WF would be the most vulnerable to not having a seat.

But 13 more years of the majority of the ACC not making what they could get in the SEC/B1G seems untenable.[/quote]

VT and Virginia are probably a package deal either for SEC or Big10.  Unlikely the state would allow them to split.  Same with C and NC State.

Clemson is in same state as USC but no doubt SEC takes them.  Remember -- when this is done the SEC and Big 10 will be national not regional.

Above you list six people with no home --- [b]what do you do to get them to end the rights deal?[/b]

Offer them an amount of money that makes it attractive to agree to dissolve the ACC.[/quote]

ACC schools get about $17 million per year through 2036. [b]The Sun Belt's deal pays 500k a year.[/b] If I'm Duke, it's taking a lot more than $100 million to get me to agree to dissolve the conference. [/quote]

Not the only revenue source.

In 2019, the average salary for just the head coach at a Sun Belt Conference school was $650,000.
