While I hear what you are saying.....


and agree logically that when the money (impetus to leave) becomes greater than the argument to stay it will happen. The thing I cannot sort out in my mind is how those numbers work because the financial handcuffs are so significant. Leave before the GOR falls apart and they are on the hook to the conference and not everybody is going to get that SEC or Big10 offer. I think we are seeing just that challenge in Texas and OU trying to get an exit from the Big 12. I also believe that once the Texas and OU shift is worked out that it will constitute a framework/starting point for similar moves in other conferences, including the ACC. Of course, that may be another piece of Phillips' endgame because ESPN's hands are probably tied in terms of facilitating that move until they have a reasonable idea of exactly how big of a check they can afford to write.
