Just being realistic, my love for USF football will not waver regardless where they land, but this unrealistic view of some on this board that we would land in ACC and thus acting like we have a choice between ACC and Big12 is about as upsetting as the other ones acting like we should drop football

That's what this thread is all about and you're crimping our style ....

I wonder about the possibility of enough schools leaving (over half) the ACC that the conference just folds, and thus no buyout money is owed.  

More than half of C-USA left ... and C-USA still exists.  The ACC will not fold unless they vote to fold... so even if 13 of the 14 teams leave, the ACC still exists as a legal entity and could invite more teams to join.

Although, I don't think that's a tilde.  A tilde is ~

It is the accute accent (l'accent agiu).

The AAC can’t do anything for more than 10 years. I don’t know what people are talking about here. 

It's just a contract, and contracts can always be re-negotiated.  With enough money teams can (and will) leave.  The only questions are how much, how soon, and when.

I think his tweet was in reference to dominoes falling today for ocs and is now asking for more donations to bulls club.

This is more likely.

In the world of vague tweets . . . from an FSU guy.

How many times have you seen these so-called iron-clad contracts torn up? Money talks and if the SEC wants FSU and Clemson, they'll come and get FSU and Clemson. Who doubts that? Do you think they'll sit and watch if the Big 10 keeps expanding?

I really think that is wishful thinking. Sure, something might happen but it will be another 10 years before it occurs in my opinion.

In the short term, all of this talk to the AAC is just wishful thinking. Maybe something happens but it would be another 7 to 10 years before it occurs in my opinion.
