I guess if they can force the issue in the next few months to a year, they give ESPN the chance to bail on the current ACC deal, thereby freeing up money for new SEC and B12 teams, and to throw a few bones to the rump ACC that will be left. Fox and the B1G can figure it out, but I'm sure they'd grab at least a couple.
That said, the legal arguments from FSU at least, seem to be weak, essentially boiling down to "that's way more than we want it to be!" It's almost as though the whole thing was designed to ensure stability in the face of otherwise better options for specific schools.
Yeah I don't think the ACC is actually collapsing any time soon, but with FSU ~and~ clempson showing signs of discontent, I think it certainly means it's closer than the ACC wants it to be.
