I'm glad we didn't bend over for ND. That deal really worked out well for the Big East, didn't it?
I imagine the new exit penalty doesn't go into effect immediately. This is going to allow schools that want out, to get out within a certain window. I think the sqeeze is actually on the SEC more than the B12 at this point. The SEC wantsto expand their market and restructure their deal. They wanted into the Virginia and North Carolina markets. Most guesses were they want the B12 to take from the ACC first.
The B12 is comfortable at 10, they have a contract that allows them to expand without loss in payout if they want. 10 is a comfortable number, 14 sucks. The B1G hasn't given any inkling of wanting to expand and the PAC has a voting block against it due to California access.
So, if any ACC teams are going to bolt, my guess is that it will be the SEC trying to push it to happen. If it does, then others may bolt too. If not, looks like we're set for at least another decade.
