[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 884727, member: 2426"] The GOR means that the ACC owns the rights to each schools media broadcast of sporting events. As several have discussed that means that no ACC school can add media value to another conference, at least with respect to games that are under the schools control. The reasonable access portion of the contract is something that a school could simply not comply with. However, if a school is still being held to the GOR I don't see them breaking this portion. They would not add media value to the new conference, and the ACC/ESPN would sue them for the value of the media content they are preventing from being broadcast. That would be a double whammy. The school can't make money from the media broadcast and then has to pay the ACC for the value of media that isn't being broadcast. I don't foresee any school leaving unless there is a way out of the GOR contract. As I said, you can break portions of the contract, but you can't sell something that you do not own. GT Research can't give money to the GTAA. (At least the total University money to the GTAA can't exceed 10% of the GTAA revenue. That includes direct money, student fees, facilities allowances, etc.) What they could probably do is have the GTAA sell the rooms on game weekends and collect a portion of the sales as a commission. I think for that to work, the purchases would have to be made through a system owned by the GTAA. [/QUOTE]
