Message: [QUOTE="ThabeetDown, post: 4343498, member: 4336"] Some ACC schools (Clemson, FSU, maybe Miami) are going to do everything in their power (aka lawsuits) to get out of their current ACC GOR. The future of that conference will be decided in a courtroom. Who knows how many years that could take -- I think they'll be able to get out of it within the next 5 years. Notre Dame is their trump card -- but I don't think Notre Dame will never be a full member in the ACC as is. Obviously B10 would like them, and perhaps ND losing their HC to a SEC team will be the straw that breaks the Indy-ND camel's back. They're legally obligated to play 5 ACC teams a year until that 2036 -- hence why they are essentially stuck in the ACC. If ND finds a way to get out of that and into the B10, then the ACC is absolutely doomed. That will be the domino that seals their fate, since a resolution with ND would probably come a lot sooner than the true ACC schools. With that said, the ACC absolutely needs to be proactive. Outside of snagging WVU (or getting ND in full-time), what school really moves the needle for them to be able to compete? Seems like B12 is poised to get the P12 scraps, so what can the ACC do? Collect some AAC scraps? UConn? That won't help them in this arms race. They are doomed -- it's just a matter of how long until it's over for them, depending on how good their lawyers are... [/QUOTE]
