Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5049976, member: 4613"] Drink Up!!! The case of the GOR has been solv-ed The ACC members convene and hold a vote to dissolve the conference which, as I understand it, would eliminate the GOR and exit fees. All programs would then be free to move on with their lives. This results in a few possible scenarios for the former ACC members in a high stakes poker scenario: [LIST=1] [*]Programs which vote to dissolve and get picked up by SEC, Big 12, B1G - they each put ~ $100,000,000 e.g. into the kitty [*]Programs which vote to dissolve but do not get picked up by the P3 - they each take an evenly split share out of the kitty [*]Programs which vote to not dissolve - they each are SOL and get bupkes [/LIST] End Result [LIST=1] [*]Programs who know they will get picked up win by only paying $100 mill to go P3 [*]Programs who go along knowing they were destined to miss out on the big money but make a nice windfall from the kitty in the short term, lick their wounds, and form a new ACC [*]Programs who don't go along get nothing and hope to be invited to the new ACC [/LIST] Who knows the numbers but let's say 8 programs go P3 - kitty = $800,000,000 5 vote yes but don't get picked up - they each take $160,000,000 out of the kitty 5 vote no and get nothing - this would include ND because they don't invite ND to the vote - no one like the SOB in the first place Programs who know they won't get picked up have to pick between 2 and 3 risk dissolution without payment. 10 remaining regroup in New ACC and backfill. And who knows, even though the new ACC is lesser than the old, the new tv deal may not be so bad given the market. [ATTACH type="full"]102532[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
