[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 882542, member: 1191"] For one, we got $36 million in payouts last year. We are behind the top two, but were ahead of the PAC and Big XII. Secondly, I would frankly be shocked if anyone found a way out of the GOR, and I'm not entirely certain any of the ACC schools want out. Just because a fan base is heated about something doesn't mean the administration is. Clemson, FSU, and Miami were just as valuable in 2012 as they are today (some would argue more valuable in the case of FSU/Miami) yet they willingly signed the GoR. I'm betting we won't see much if any movement of current teams away from the ACC for at least 10 years. What's going on now is a bunch of rabid fans projecting opinion into a process that's a lot more cut and dry than many would like to believe. For instance, why would the B1G not take Oregon and Washington? Why would the $EC not grab a California school? For one, they've accomplished what they needed to do. They added new schools that bring value to the new set of TV negotiations. If they loaded up now, there wouldn't be any teams to add later to renegotiate with. Why use all your leverage at once? Nope. IMO the P2 will wait, rake in cash, and let the ACC schools and the PAC/BII schools grovel for admittance down the road. This makes by far the most financial sense, and if the B1G and $EC have proven anything so far, it's that they are chasing money to enhance their programs. [/QUOTE]
