Just drop the $50 mil in the basket by the door as you exit.

Should have treated Maryland better.

Big loss for the ACC. They don't have to pay the 50 million and Florida St is next to leave.
The ACC is becoming the Big East.

I'm sure everyone's dying to see your legal brief on why they don't have to pay the $50 mil.

I would be up for chipping in on State's exit fee.

I'd take Louisville immediately if we can get them and hopefully get Notre Dame to be a full football member. That is the best outcome for a 14 member conference I can think of. Or I'd make a run at Vanderbilt but leaving the SEC probably would never happen no matter who you are.

The Big Ten should hold off on Rutgers and see what happens to the ACC. Now that Maryland is gone, the Big 10 should see if FSU goes to the Big 12. If that happens then the ACC is officially falling apart. That's when the BIG 10 should swoop in and complete their 16 team conference. It could look like this:

Big Ten goes to 16 by taking: UVA, UNC and Duke.
SEC moves to 16 with: NC State and Va Tech.
Big 12 moves closer to 16 with: FSU, Clemson, Miami, Ga Tech and Notre Dame.
Big East and ACC combines their remainders: Wake Forest, BC, Syracuse, Pitt and the others.

That's definitely a lot of moving parts but it neatly satisfies each conferences TV market desires (except the Big East and ACC).
