[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 954193, member: 2426"] I was trying to use humor, but I already have addressed your points. Schools may be looking for a way out, but the conference pretty much fixed that in 2013, then again in 2016. The GOR is like giving the title of your house to the HOA. You can move it if the HOA anytime you want to, but you can't take the equity in your house with you. FSU can pay $120 million to leave the ACC, but then they don't have anything to market to another conference. They can't even market their games as an independent like ND. if you read the GOR and the ACC constitution, it is apparent, even to noon-lawyers, that 8 teams cannot disband the ACC, nor end the GOR. It works take 12 schools to disband the conference, and it works take event single school to make any change to the GOR. The schools, including FSU are stuck on the ACC. FSU is talking, much like sports fans trash talking in a bar. None of the ideas that have been spread actually make any realistic sense. Borrow money or get a private equity company to buy out the media rights? In the end, with the buyout and the media rights FSU would end up with less money in the long run than starting in the ACC. Private equity investing in college athletics, with almost no chance of a significant return? Private equity companies want returns in multiples, not a chance to maybe one day break even. If FSU leaves, it will mean more money for the rest of the ACC, and assume very lean years for FSU. [/QUOTE]
