I read that it takes 8 votes to dissolve the ACC. I’ve seen Swaim speculate to: FSU, Clemson, UVA, UNC, NC ST, Miami, ND, Pitt, Syracuse, and UL all wanting out of the ACC. Based on his reporting they have the numbers to disband, so they should do that and avoid all this legal mumbo-jumbo regarding the grant of rights.

Unless they don’t actually have the votes and Swaim is making it up as he goes. 

It's possible Swaim dropped acid before throwing that out there.

orlando school now in the major leagues while usf is mired in the minors

who cares. for most of our history, USF has been in a better conference. it's been one year, and the system is about to collapse. There is no more P5. There is P2. we're in the same boat now.

just win games.

UCF has had football a lot longer than USF. Them seeing us leap frog them into the Big East and beating them 4 in a row lit a fire under them and they started investing more in athletics and built an OCS.

Now we watched them win 6 in a row and leap frog us into a better conference, which has lit a fire under us to invest more in athletics and build an OCS.

With AAU status, we’ll fit in nicely with the new ACC.

The two schools have such an intertwined history at this point. There is bad blood. I wouldn’t mind never playing them again, unless it’s for a national championship in the playoffs. A real one!

Great points. What is funny is that USF is now doing better across the board now which is good. Winning cures all and that is what is happening for USF now imo.

Could explain a lot.

If you’re in the ACC, you let FSU pay huge legal fees to figure out how solid the ACC grant of rights is, how much it cost to leave. Then you let FSU pay the exit fees, then once you collect those, you jump ship a year or two later, using the FSU exit fee to pay your own.

 

No one without a spot in the Big10 or SEC is voting to disband the ACC when they are making more than they would in the Big12, have easier travel logistics, and the courts haven’t ruled on FSU’s lawsuit yet. 
 

Swaim is making stuff up for clicks.
 

His speculations aren’t worth sharing or the clicks in my opinion. He doesn’t have sources. It’s just BS.

Reminds me of the episode of South Park where all the kids get high on cough medicine and get addicted to watch Dogs wearing hats.

i think that would be a fun game. As would away games against Cal , San Diego State, and Stanford.
