Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 1476735, member: 833"] With the GORs, the next conference unwinding will have a much longer lead time. We are only 9 years from the end of the Big 12 Grant of Rights. If Texas, Oklahoma and a few others announced in a year or two that they would not be renewing, the effect of those announcements would be similar to terminating the GOR in all but the media contract, which would run out. The schools stuck behind would be desperate, and would see an immediate impact in their athletic program. Furthermore, if there was critical mass to vote dissolve the conference, then that would create an additional problem for the remaining schools. I could see the ACC or SEC taking an extra school they don't want just to put a bullet in the Big 12. [/QUOTE]
