Message: [QUOTE="OrangeXtreme, post: 281218, member: 41"] Conference fiscal years run from July 1 to June 30. When you give notice that you intend to leave the conference, you still have to finish out the remainder of the "year". Legally, we are still obligated to the BE until June 30, 2014 (the next available move date after our 27 month notice). However, all the BE replacement teams are joining in time for the 2013-14 season, and there's no reason for the BE to keep us that long (unless they want to run a 14 team FB conference and a 20 team BB conference for one season). While nothing is "official", I'm 98% certain that SU and Pitt will reach an agreement with the BE to let us go in June 2013, and we will become official ACC members on July 1, 2013. WV bought their way out 2 seasons early for $20 million. A price to leave 1 year early will be negotiated. [/QUOTE]
