[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 954177, member: 2426"] FSU is pitching a fit at the moment. However, the ACC set up the GOR for exactly this type of scenario. Many people misunderstand what the GOR is. Basically, GT does not own the rights to any media presentation of any GT sports. The ACC owns it all. Same for FSU. If FSU leaves the conference, ESPN will still broadcast their games under the ACC agreement and will pay the money to the ACC, not to FSU. $120 million buyout fee is nothing compared to the fact that you don't have anything to market. FSU wants more than $40 million per year, (which is escalating), but the alternative is to pay $120 million and get zero instead of $40 million per year. Also, the ACC is not the next weakest money conference. The ACC was third out of five. The ACC is still third out of four. The Big12 makes less money per team than the ACC, even with the new additions. EDIT: By 13 years, when the GOR ends, or even in seven when many think there will be a chance of movement, the entire situation will be different. There might be more money available, or there might be a lot less money available for TV contracts. Three weeks ago, people didn't foresee what was happening now. Nobody has a clue what the situation will be like in seven years. The thing the ACC and all of the member schools should do is prepare for many circumstances, but not panic into acting stupid.
