ND Schedule updated

IF we are forced it means there is no longer an ACC.

For the contractual obligations, the departing school hands over some apology money and leaves. No one has tried to break a full GOR though

Football is the cash cow for media rights, and ND football isn't part of the ACC's GOR, the rest of its sports programs are. So how much do you believe Basketball and the rest of the sports are worth when it comes to media rights? It pales in comparison to football. if it came down to it, ND's payout would be significantly lower compared to full members of the ACC.

It's not the same legal situation as Maryland, Texas and Oklahoma. All of those schools had exit fees established in their conference contracts. None of them had a clause that said "If we join a conference, it will be the ACC."

You are also correct about the GOR. All of those long-term TV contracts (ESPN, ACC Network) are based upon the top brands playing the schedules that they promised. If ND vs FSU is no longer available, the ACC can't backfill that game with Wake vs GT and keep the same viewer audience.

Once again, this poster presumes to know the inner details of what is contained in contracts. It's actually all speculation on his part. He doesn't know jack.
This poster seems lost. His only apparent purpose on this board is to tell ND fans how wrong they are on every subject.
