Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5210760, member: 4613"] Given your presumption that the Big XII is the only option, no. P2, Absolutely yes. So FSU and Clemson sue to get out of the ACC. The parties negotiate a settlement with reduced fees. The end result is the ACC will live long and prosper with FSU and Clemson. Is that the conclusion? A merged ACC perhaps. It's a small but passionate sample from the orange board, and this is the football thread. They can't seem to figure out what the actual exit fee language means vis-a-vis the GOR. "OG Big East BBall (4/9): BC, UConn, SU, Pitt Big East 2.0 BBall (5/14): BC, UConn, SU, Pitt, West Virginia OG Big East FB (4/8): BC, SU, Pitt, West Virginia Big East 2.0 FB (7/8): UConn, SU, Pitt, West Virginia, Cincy, Louisville, USF ACC 4.0 (5/14): Wake, BC, SU, Pitt, Louisville" "I could see a big merger to try to keep up with SEC/B1G. 24-32 schools in 3-6 pods/divisions. 6-8 team playoff with 1-2 teams being allowed to compete with the SEC/B1G in their playoff with 5-6 teams each. If it ended up with Syracuse being in a regional conference with BC, UConn, Pitt, WVU, Louisville, Va Tech, Wake Forest, NC State, etc... so be it. About the best we can hope for."
