Message: [QUOTE="TerryD, post: 4667447, member: 1615"] Here are ND's legal entanglements regarding the ACC: --GOR until 2036 for all sports but football and hockey (No TV rights for those sports if ND exits). --Exit fee...$120 million. Some talk that ND's may be lower but that is doubtful. --Contract to play 5 ACC football teams per year through 2036 and, --Contract that says if ND football joins a conference before 2036, it must be the ACC. So, ND would have to try to "buy out" the GOR. Why would ACC even negotiate? How much $ is that? ND would also breach two football related contracts and would have to settle damage claims for those. How much would that cost? Then, it would have to pay an exit fee. (Is it even worth it when comparing what the Big Ten would pay minus the above and minus what ND football can get from NBC in 2025 (currently unknown) and what ND gets from the ACC----$17-20 million/yr. ??).
