Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 4715005, member: 153"] FSU has been saying this every 2 years for many years now. It's the same story. Let me give you one example: Texas paid $50m to get out of the B12. That was w/ 1 yr remaining on the contract. You might think that this # x 13 yrs that remains on the ACC GOR would be enough to buy FSU's exit, but then you're not taking into account the possible loss of CFP money for the entire remains of the ACC, and even worse, the possible dissolution of the conference for a lot more money than that. Especially for teams like Cal and Stanford who wouldn't find a landing spot. This means that the farther away you are from the end of the contract, the more difficult it is to leave. The B12 knew it only had a yr left so it negotiated the $50m settlement. For ACC teams, that is chump change compare to the possible annual losses of revenue. It just can't happen until 2034 at the earliest. [/QUOTE]
