[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 1000100, member: 2426"] No team is "blocked" from leaving. It is financially difficult, but it isn't "blocked". If an ACC team leaves the conference to join the Big10 in 2025, they will have to either purchase 11 years worth of media rights, or lose out on 11 years of media revenue. Joining the Big10 now even with media rights, the team would not receive a full payout, because the media contract is already in place until 2030. If the team leaves in 2030 there are only six years of media rights to lose out on or purchase. The Big10 could include that team in the negotiations for the next media contract and either get a larger payout immediately (if rights are purchased back) or starting in 2036 when the rights revert back to the team. Think of purchasing a new car on a loan. If you roll negative equity into the loan and add an extended warranty to the loan you can easily be $15k under on the loan as soon as you drive off of the lot. If you see a better car on your way home, you might want to purchase it. To purchase it now, you would have to sell your car, cover the $15k, and come up with a down payment on the other car. If you wait 4 years into your 5 year car loan, you could sell your car and have enough money from the sale to make a downpayment on a new car. That is similar to the issue with leaving the ACC now VS leaving the ACC in 6-7 years. It will be much less expensive to leave in 6 years than it is now. It has nothing to do with what the ACC will do or will not do. It has to do with the fact that as the GOR ages out, it becomes more and more economically feasible to get around it. [/QUOTE]
