Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 5325410, member: 3850"] I think that I was going by AI search..."Can Clemson and FSU veto new members"....before the revised constiturion became available...we now know more. Search result.. [I]Yes, it's highly likely that Florida State (FSU) and Clemson now possess the ability to effectively veto the addition of new members to the ACC. This stems from the changes made to the ACC Constitution as part of the March 2025 settlement that resolved the ongoing legal disputes between the ACC, FSU, and Clemson. Sources indicate that FSU and Clemson's veto powers extend beyond just financial payouts and mirror those outlined in the settlement agreement, [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/1lr1q3j/mckenzie_and_in_looking_at_the_changes_to_the_acc/']according to Reddit posts by @mckenzie[/URL]. This implies a broader range of influence over significant conference decisions. [/I] Now we know or think we know... That any new member must have a positive vote of 13 of 17 members. The veto power of FSU/Clemson seems ambiguous/murky. (Aside re Mckenzie...he has erased all of his X posts where he misread the ACC's situation...He said that FSU/Clemson didn't have a chance...that the GOR was iron clad...etc etc...He was known as an ACC supporter and labelled FSU/Clemson's arguments as "absurd", "preposturous" and "frivolous".)
