Message: [QUOTE="Ldandy, post: 5039827, member: 4584"] FSU and Clemson are getting out of The ACC come Hell or high water. Why not save millions of dollars in legal fees for all parties, by getting right to negotiating the buyout for both schools? Maybe The ACC can negotiate 200 million+ from each school? 400 million dollars divided among the legacy members is a hefty chunk of change. Lots of people believe that letting FSU/Clemson out of The ACC will open the flood gates for other defections. Honestly, I'm not so sure. First and foremost, ESPN can keep the conference financially whole by continuing its current deal with new members. People can claim that a bunch of ACC Schools will head to The Big 12, B1G, SEC etc, but the media rights holders, including ESPN, will determine that. They have to pay for any of these additions and keep the current membership whole. How much is VPI, GT, NCSU and so on actually worth? [/QUOTE]
