They’d still have a vote for things except the vote to dissolve. Just like OUT.If they really wanted to dissolve it/other conferences want them to dissolve it… they aren’t going to have loose lips and tell everyone the plan. There would have to be a whole lot of back room dealings, secrets, winks and nods to pull it off.
But yeah odds are something somewhere gets leaked in this day and age. Especially with that many schools, conferences, and media companies involved.
Texas and Oklahoma still had a vote in the Big12, until just the few days-week(?) before it was officially announced they applied to the SEC for membership.
OUT managed to negotiate 1 year of the GOR for for $50m each. Do those numbers for each of the schools the B10 or SEC would take over the next 12 years. Then factor in the ACC leftovers aren’t going to be in arguably the #3 conference and might not even be in a power conference. Then factor in that a few schools are likely going to be left out of the power conference structure if the ACC dissolved with no route or likelihood of making it back. Then factor in they have what seems to be an iron-clad agreement through 2035 and absolutely no reason to even consider negotiating.
Where does that kind of money come from? Where is the ROI on it?
Edit: just wanted to add, I do think it’s likely the ACC’s GOR will be broken. I just think it won’t happen for another ~10 years. The B10 re-ups in 2032, the SEC in 2034 (if memory serves). Those seem like the natural break points for something to happen.
