Hope for a fresh start


Stech there are two hurdles to overcome for The ACC to escape from this hideous media contract. The first is the GoR. Pay-for-Play might facilitate that (iffy). If the GoR is gone there is still that media deal that runs 'til 2036. Some possible solutions to that could be:
ACC schools vote to disband the conference. They would all be free to form a New ACC with willing partners and some defectors.
They might only threaten to disband and ask ESPN to sweeten the payout "or else." The problem here is that ESPN would balk at having four schools in NC and a couple of underperforming members up North.
They could try to form a smaller ACC that would fit well into an Alliance format with The B1G and others.
They could form a smaller ACC that would fit well as The SEC Atlantic Division.
Please add any of a thousand possible outcomes that might emerge. The main thing is; the GoR could be broken by an upcoming court decision. We don't know for sure, but that would set the ACC schools free to improve their lot in one or more of those thousand ways.
