[I]The larger issue of realignment seems to be a topic on the Twitters today. 
@aadelsonESPN and I wrote about this in March... Virtually every ACC school has had lawyers review the grant of rights in G'boro -- either to see what the potential outs are or to see how safe things are.

What we were told in March: "Is it worth the paper it's written on?" one AD said. "If one school starts to leave, then another, how strong is it? It would involve a major legal battle."

But what if 7+ teams decide to bolt? Well, 1) that would also involve a major legal battle and 2) would not necessarily be a clear path to dissolving the league and most importantly 3) wouldn't necessarily result in those teams finding a more lucrative alternative.

I've been told again and again that if the ACC were to disappear tomorrow, only a handful of teams would def have a spot in the B1G or SEC. So any others going along with a plan to leave would be doing so without a safety net.

2 other issues I do think will get real traction this week: a) Addressing ACC men's hoops "rep" --  can there be adjustments to NET or ACC strategy to help end of season rankings? b) tie-breakers now that there are no divisions. Arguments over what metrics to use.[/I]
