The question is will the deal be relevant after several schools win their legal actions and are released by the courts? At least five public schools in the ACC have legislatures that never approved the ACC Grant of Rights and the authority to approve such agreements reside with them to include UVA, Va Tech, UNC, NC State and Pitt.

The ACC chief and Espin doing what they can to ensure the league survives but to what end.
There are going to be exits that's plain and, in the end short of the ACC paying their schools what the Big and SEC are now there is NOTHING the ACC can do to stop their exits. They can throw up temporary roadblocks to slow things up and that's what you're seeing from the ACC and Espin now.
Espin desperately needs to keep the ACC alive because they need content. I think it survives but more along the lines of lesser conferences. If they are not careful the ACC will look a lot more like the PAC than anything else.
Espin has problems far beyond the ACC surviving as it would appear the skids have been greased by the new head of Disney to eventually pawn off Espin. Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people.
Just take Colorado and Utah from the west...then 3 of those schools and were good. I'm not taking Duke but open to the others. Then add ND. 24 teams...all AAU. Everyone is happy. Maybe steal Mizzou and boot Rutgers if the SEC would allow it
I think we will see a 36 team Big Ten by the time realignment is over. Think about this, you get a natural playoff, all AAU schools, all would benefit, and preserve natural rivalries up and down the board while isoloating the cheaters league of southern junior colleges to the southeast where they belong.

This is just you hatig the SEC--doesn't make any sense at all. A&M will never leave the SEC to go WITH Texas somewhere. Texas isn't going somewhere without OU.
I get that I just never liked CO and I don't like Prime Time's schtick. Even if he wasn't there I wouldn't want them the same way I wouldn't want sPitt. Probably just me and my idiosyncrasies.
Fair but what programs we like or dislike shouldn't really matter. AAU school that adds a solid market who has some history and because of Prime a large following at the moment. Nebraska-Colorado-Utah-Iowa-Wisconsin-Minnesota is a nice little pod even without title contenders.
