[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 946597, member: 2426"] Even playing all away games seems doubtful as a way to bypass the GOR. I don't know if the ESPN contract would allow that, but even if it does: FSU's revenue is $161 million. $41 million from media, $19 million from tickets, and $42 million from donors. They won't add a media market if they don't own the broadcast rights. They won't sell tickets if all of the games are away. Would donors continue to supply $42 million if there are no sporting events that they have good access to? Trying to exit the ACC and play all away games puts $103 million of their $161 million revenue at risk. That just seems far too risky to me. EDIT: Like I said previously, Texas could actually afford to lose $80 million to go to the SEC two years before the Big12 GOR expired. They chose not to. ACC teams would be risking 12 years and no ACC team has as much revenue nor as much cash on hand as Texas. [/QUOTE]
