The ACC might be dead by July:
(1) If two of Clemson, FSU, or UNC leave before June 30, ESPN can unilaterally renegotiate with ACC via Composition Clause immediately.
(2) ESPN has already refused to extend ACC media deal, ACC/ESPN deal will expire in June 2027, ending the Grant of Rights.
(3) ACC might get 8 teams (simple majority) to dissolve conference before July 2024 and play as independents under 1 year ESPN media deal to play out the schedule.
OR
(4) 12 teams vote to eliminate exit fees and all Grant of Rights terms, play out 2024 season schedule, split revenue equally, without risking going back to ESPN to negotiate for further seasons.
(5) Dumbest move is fighting and letting FSU/Clemson leave before June 30.
