Interesting reading. The choice of laws provision is NC law so, wherever the case winds up, NC law will be used to determine the opinion.
Good grief, calm down a bit.
I'm not anti-ACC. But at this point super conferences are coming and the ACC appears to be low-hanging fruit. So I'd rather just see it get put out of its misery since it seems inevitable.
I truthfully wanted, when this all started, the ACC to survive as the fourth major conference and see the Big 12 get killed off. Unfortunately that didn't happen.
Regardless, I have no doubts they aren't as content as you're trying to suggest. There isn't a single one of them that aren't exploring other options right now. It doesn't mean anyone will take that next step, but you can't claim they're strong and committed when they're all taking other calls let alone some of them actively making them.
What misery? UNC isn't miserable, UVa isn't miserable. Heck, even Miami stormed the court last night over St. Izzo's squad. They are happy and quite the elitists. Sending them to Purdue will make them more unhappy than anything else.
And I made it clear that I'm ignoring the Grant of Rights aspect because I think not enough is truly known about it yet since there are only scattered reports about its makeup. But like I said, even ignoring the GOR, there's really not much reason for Texas or Oklahoma to leave now. They have a rights deal that is comparable to the Pac-12 and could potentially go pick off Florida State, Miami and others. I just don't see a reason for them to go.
The Pac-12 had an opportunity to get it done last year. If they'd done it, a lot could be or would be different. But now they will have uphill sledding if it wants to pluck off anyone from the Big 12.
