First the schools received a bonus for signing it.

They all signed it.... every one.

[URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/598932648636088321']2h 2 hours ago [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/mkw_14']@[B]mkw_14[/B][/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/NebGradDubDub']@[B]NebGradDubDub[/B][/URL] In that case the battle would be over the definition of due consideration which usually is cold hard cash.

[URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/598933957179265024']2h 2 hours ago [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/mkw_14']@[B]mkw_14[/B][/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/NebGradDubDub']@[B]NebGradDubDub[/B][/URL] The bottom line its too much of a risk to even consider breaking a GoR. No school would try & no conf would either.

FSU's BoT rumblings also.

If ACCN were a promise to secure the GoR (cont) [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/598934631942123520']1h 1 hour ago [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/mkw_14']@[B]mkw_14[/B][/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/NebGradDubDub']@[B]NebGradDubDub[/B][/URL] Then if ESPN rejects ACCN the GoR is invalidated.

[URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/598935329882689537']1h 1 hour ago [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/mkw_14']@[B]mkw_14[/B][/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/NebGradDubDub']@[B]NebGradDubDub[/B][/URL] The other item ensuring no one challenges the GoR is the collision between the ACC-SEC-B12.
