if they payout to each team is, at worst, the same and the GOR stays in tact? It reduces the power of those teams looking to leave, enters into a state that is highly populated with top athletes, enters into the NorCal territory with at least one brand in Stanford that has good viewership and is wildly economically stable as a university (I mean, the operational budget from the endowment alone per year is more than most schools' total endowment) and, if anyone still gives a hoot about academics, gives all ACC universities access to Cal and Stanford partnerships / resources that should be wildly beneficial.

I would also take SMU, TCU, Baylor and TTU as well.

I get that this isn't an ideal solution. It may not even be a very good solution. But if the goal is to compete at a national level, regional conferences are out the window and there are only a handful of teams that are left.

Now, if I were UNC and very confident I would end up in the B1G or whatever, I'd be happy to just cash the checks I had until it was time to cut bait.

I don't hate Charlotte or Greensboro or North Carolina. In fact, I quite like the state as a whole and I like playing Duke and North Carolina in sports.

But, in my very limited knowledge opinion, it's either go time to become a national conference or it's time to just play out the string and everyone cashes the checks we get because of the GOR and start looking for where we'll be in 7-8 years or whatever it is.

And to be clear, I don't hate any program for looking out for #1. That's where we are.
