[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 881428, member: 1199"] I think this is a good question, and it provokes a thought about the GOR. Given the fluid situation in conference alignment, it seems the GOR actually hurts the ACC if expansion is required to survive. That is especially true if there is so much money in jumping ship that the old agreement isn't really an obstacle to leaving. Let's assume for a moment that ND is heading to the expanded B1G. That leaves the ACC and Big 12 both looking to survive in the new "mega conference" world They can't reasonably expect and SEC or B1G team to join the ACC, so the old Big 12 has to be the target conference. I would think Kansas and WVU and some of the Texas teams would be prime candidates. None of those teams are going to join the ACC and commit to a GOR in this sports environment. The SEC is not going to stand pat. I am hearing rumors this morning that Clemson, UNC, FSU and Miami are exploring options. [/QUOTE]
