[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 946617, member: 2426"] I found the 2020-2021 Bylaws here: [URL]https://virginiatech.sportswar.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2022/08/2020-21-ACC-Manual-2020-9-17-2.pdf[/URL] In order to amend the Bylaws, you need a Three-Fourths majority of all voting members of the conference: I didn't read the entire document, but looking through it I didn't see anything about disbanding the conference. I assume it could be done by ammending the bylaws, which requires a vote from 12 of the 16 teams. Those 12 teams would have to vote to disband the conference [B]before[/B] officially announcing that they are leaving the conference. If 9 teams leave, as [USER=3993]@TooTall[/USER] suggests, the remaining 7 teams could just invite more teams, keep the conference open, and keep the GORs from the 9 teams the left until after 2036. You are correct about withdrawing members not being able to vote (section 1.5.1.3). However, section 1.4.5 states that a member is not a "withdrawing" member until the file an "official" notice with the commissioner and every other member of the conference. They won't lose voting privileges until they officially notify the conference, even if they fully intend to leave. [/QUOTE]
