Also, ACC teams were assured of a network when they signed.

There are public quotes from Swofford and numerous ACC school representatives telling us that. That alone gives me reason to suspect the ACC GOR wouldn't hold up. It may cost an exiting team much less than it cost Maryland and the B1G.

And considering the massive contract the B1G is about to sign, a buyout of 30 - 50 million dollars would stop nothing. The exiting team would make enough additional dough to handle that in 3 or 4 years.

So if WF left, the ACC would owe them money? -- EDGEMAN 02/25/2016 08:10AM

Probably. The product (available games to be broadcast) would be improved. ** -- Freddyburg Hokie 02/25/2016 12:14PM

The exit fee didn't fully hold up in court and I doubt a GOR would. -- chuckd4vt 02/25/2016 10:14AM
