[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 129496411, member: 1459051"] Alright, I'm going to be super strict with you. One pardon [I]can[/I] set a precedent. Doesn't mean it [I]will[/I], but it [I]can[/I]. So for you to be accurate, you either have to make the distinction "I believe," or "it's possible." Now that said, here is the point. It's too much of a risk. As long as there is the possibility that letting one school out of the GOR [I][U]might [/U][/I]set a precedent, the risk is much too high to justify for a short-term financial gain. The obvious logical play for a conference (or individual schools) in that situation is to protect the GOR to the greatest extent possible. It would make no sense for schools like Wake Forest or Virginia to vote for this exemption, when it might mean they are in danger of being stuck in a diminished conference down the road. There is also the problem, from the point of view of those schools, that this exemption might be used against them if the ACC ever simply wanted to cut loose another "albatross." That brings up another point about the "albatross" comment. Boston College wouldn't fit into that category either. The ACC does actually make money off of Boston College, due to their market. Case in point. When Miami and Virginia Tech joined the ACC in 2004, the new contract actually went [I][B]down[/B][/I]. The reason is, the ACC already had both of those markets, so ESPN deemed them redundant and offered no value. It wasn't until Boston College was added in 2005, bringing in the Boston market, that the contract actually went up in value. Ok, let me give you an example. Alabama plays UT-Chattanooga this year. Well, right now, I'm telling you UT-Chattanooga won't win that game. Now, according to your logic, I can't say that. I don't know [I]for sure[/I] that Alabama will win the game, therefore, I can't make such a declarative statement. Well, yeah, I will make that statement. You can point out all the hypotheticals you want, and then on Nov. 19th, Alabama will kick the crap out of UTC. So we will have to sit here all year waiting on an outcome I can easily predict right now. Well, same principle applies to this GOR business. The schools in the ACC aren't going to vote to waive the GOR. It's insanely stupid for them to do so. It comes with a lot of risk and little reward. Arguing over the fact that I'm being too presumptive is silly. [/QUOTE]
