In this article The Univ of Texas AD Dodds brings up several points which we need to emblazen in our brains so that we all move forward together:
1. The GOR for the thirteen year period [B]has not been agreed to and not signed[/B]--and not finalized
2. TV contract with ESPN and Fox could take up [B]to 2 months or more[/B] to get negotiated and to get signed
--I believe part of the problem here is that ESPN (from my source at NCSTATE) [B]is not being so quick to have realignment $$ upgrades nor look-ins as done with ACC[/B]
3. Insofar as the BCS and the NC debate, [B]Dodds speaks to five (5) major conferences including the ACC and NOT the BE--they maynot qualify because they lost a lot of strength[/B]
4. Seems as if the Big 12 and SEC are up against the B1G, PAC12 and ACC insofar as how the teams will be selected for the semi-finals and NC. Big 12 and SEC are not keen on conference championship as that would mean only 1 team from their conference...this would help the ACC
5. Dodds thinks [B]there is going to be significant realignment movement but not in the 5 strong BCS Conferences which will play a huge roll on how this whole thing rolls out[/B] (and he considers the ACC to be one of those conferences)
 
This is a good read and has some take-away points that should make us all feel better. By the way several of these points have been indicated by my source at NCstate as well. So maybe for the time being the ACC remains whole...and could get stronger.
THIS IS CORRECT LINK-THX TO ALL FOR TELLING ME LINK WAS WRONG
