ACC GoR is much tighter than the Big 12 GoR. The Big 12 bylaws


contains the formula for what games are worth; specifically the fees associated with buying back games. They spell out exactly what a football game is worth. And the conference does not own the right to all of the games.

While the ACC and Big 12 GoRs themselves may be identical, the Big 12 bylaws clearly make it all about the money.

The ACC has no such animal. It is truly all about the rights to the games, ALL of the games. A broadcast partner can influence what happens in the ACC by minimizing economic damage; and that's what a judge would ultimately have to determine; but leaving the ACC is a much more difficult task than leaving the Big 12.
