[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 948331, member: 1776"] They didn't sidestep it. They waited for it to expire. Or more accurately, they waited until it had 1 year left to expire and then negotiated a $50M exit each to leave 1 year early. They did not try to challenge the GOR legally. Originally they planned to simply wait the GOR out (it would expire for them in 2024 since they were not going to sign a new one). Ultimately, they waited until it was almost expired and were able to negotiate the fee they would have to pay for the conference to let them go 1 year early. Supposedly lawyers for every single school in the ACC have looked at its GOR and none of them have found any sort of loophole to get out of it. If you want to leave you are going to have to negotiate a financial settlement and frankly any financial settlement is likely too punitive to make it worthwhile to leave (and that assumes someone else wants you to join in the first place). I think the idea that is most off-kilter in college football is that fans of both schools in the Big 2 conferences and the other 3 want certain schools to change conferences, but I don't think the numbers likely make any sense for the conferences themselves so most of them are unlikely to happen anytime soon, if ever.
