[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 132080803, member: 1428007"] But back to the holding chains, the Acc GOR. Some say that per Acc bylaws 8 schools can end the GOR— simple majority. If that is the case then conferences just need to invite 8 Acc schools. Right now there would be Clemson, FSU, probably UVA and UNC as locks wanting out. Past that though? No one else is really guaranteed to get an invite to the B10 or SEC. The B10 might just go all out to the west if they don’t land two of the schools mentioned, outside of perhaps Georgia Tech. But if you knew that VT, say Duke, GT and one other ( Miami best guess) had a guaranteed home? Floodgates probably opened. Outside of that, maybe just letting the conference keep those home rights. If you are getting $36 or so in the Acc but SEc or Big could pay you $80-$100,000,000 then leaving those home game rights behind isn’t that much of an issue. The buyout would have to be negotiated down of course. Maryland did that So it can be done. [/QUOTE]
