Thanks, OX.

Some interesting takeaways:
- PAC is essentially the MW and has little value, the PAC will be a G5/6 conference
- PAC TV advisers are not working with concrete numbers and the AAC teams are cautious and skeptic about the money. 
- FSU has spent $3MM on the lawsuit [I thought they would have exceeded this mark by now, regardless, this is money FSU does not really have to waste, based on their own court filings and the fees keep going up]
- Bret McMurphy does not think there is any way out for FSU and Clemson, the latest action is only to save face (financial incentive based on TV ratings)
- ACC has approached the lawsuits from a position of strength  [I think the majority on this board agrees with this, though we still vary regarding the accuracy of the ACC's position]
- SEC and B1G don't want one or two teams from ACC but will take several if ACC falls apart.  [This was especially interesting because McMurphy speculated 2-4-6 teams to the B1G and most of us on this site and other sites agree the SEC would have some interest in as many as 8-9 - UM, FSU, CU, GATech, UNC, NCState, UVA, VATech, Louisville]
-SEC and B1G are content to wait out the ACC GOR to pick off teams, though both will likely act if the ACC falls apart  {They will not be incentivizing any schools to leave early, this is consistent as both conferences would have taken the new schools early but they had to get out on their own w/USC/UCLA then the other PAC teams leaving at the end of their GOR and UT and OU buying out their last year of the GOR]
