Problem with that, is why would the others agree to that if they know they can’t get out until GOR runs out and there isn’t any guarantee they would stay when that runs out. Would you agree to lower payouts for13 years for nothing?

Lower payments through 2036 and a stable conference would seem to be a better deal for the "have-nots" than an unstable conference today. Believe me, FSU and the other "haves" aren't going to just drop it and, whether it be next week or in 2036, it seems there's little prospect of the "haves" sticking with the "have-nots" in the ACC.

I think the SEC would take those two to keep BigTen from getting them.

Fair point there.

I’m not 100% sure the B1G would get a better deal than the SEC if they added FSU and Clemson, but it makes sense to not wait to find out.

If they are going to add 2 to replace USC/UCLA, then SDSU and SMU would makes the most sense.

SDSU definitely seems like one that is always on the top of lists.  And they built that stadium.

Agree so if the outcome is that they will leave as soon as they can, then why give take a payout if it doesn’t solve the situation and they will leave regardless .

Lol what is weird is seeing Big Ten invite Rutgers, MD, USC, UCLA. Seeing SEC invite Texas A&M, Mizzou, OU, Texas. Seeing big 12 invite WVU Cincy UCiF. Basically it is a big mess. These super conferences will eventually break into two new conferences each and then the AAC will have a hell of a time getting that top 6th rated playoff spot lol

And to add to that the big 12 might invite Uconn & Gonzaga. Basically they are becoming a hodge podge of nothingness

The agreement I’m suggesting would be that FSU et al would NOT leave before 2036 in exchange for their getting bigger pieces of the pie. I anticipate that the “have-nots” will make significantly less money after FSU departs than they would if FSU stays, even if they get smaller pieces of the pie through 2036. But maybe I’m wrong about that.

This is a potential if cfb is still around.

But once again my premise is that IF they could break the GOR they would be gone. The only thing that keeps them together until 2036 is the fact that they can’t break it. So why give the more money when you know they will bail as soon as they can. The key is can they break the GOR, so far from what we have seen from Texas, Oklahoma and the ACC, the answer isNo.
