I have no idea what all the legalities are round the GOR. But, this precedent of merit based pay will gain ground everywhere. Texas is going to put up with a equal share to Vanderbilt? Yeah, for about 15 minutes.

Considering Texas was going to be making less than Vanderbilt, they should just pucker up and kiss their rear end.

comments from the mates. the writing is all over the place

BC Interruption
"Yes. It is the beginning of the end. Especially for us. Our motto in terms of sports investments and coaching hires as always been “go small and go home.” So now at last we will go home to some crappy hodgepodge of a schedule. We might be better off just preemptively seeking admission to the Patriot league, playing NE schedules. We never generated the level of effort and financial commitment necessary to compete in contemporary big time sports, anyway."

Panther-lair
"It might actually work out best for us if the ACC implodes ASAP. Assuming there’s a finite number of “life jackets” available in the Big 12, us looking for a home before the Pac-12 also crumbles apart is a good thing."

Syracusefan
"the beginning of the end.
football schools want out. they are asking for the moon and won't get it.
they'll force their way out next. SU/Sveryvud and BC/Leahy should figure out a way to lock arms going forward here. they need to move with us whereever we go. it's gonna get ugly. hopefully nd puts their gigantic financial arms around boht of us and lead us to safety."

Good news/bad news; Brett Yormark waking up to a plethora of new ideas… WV will be leading the charge for east coast buddies.

I know people will clamor for us to wait for the BE resurrection; but that runs the risk that the B12 doesn’t strike first taking Pitt, Louisville and others. The B12 has a conf ready to go while the BE resurrection will need a media partner to give it a backbone which might be hard to coordinate at this point.

As long as we are getting a full share of conference revenue, we need to go wherever someone is willing to have us. The decision gets more difficult if someplace like the big 12 offers us a reduced or partial share.

I think the right move for UConn (and the Big East) would be for the Huskies to join the ACC schools for all sports. I have a hard time seeing the catholic schools once again aligning with football schools who would obviously and openly be courting any invitation out… and the biggest brands for any TV deal are going to be the football schools that are leftover with only Villanova a big enough name to potentially break through the noise of a Syracuse, UConn, Duke driven basketball conference.

If you can do it under the ACC brand all the better as you can collect the exit fees and use that to (re)build the conference.
