    Stanford and Cal are probably like "wait...we had our fingers crossed"

    probably not much

    this could be a giant legal fight that lasts a damn long time. If the ACC did dissolve, the elite teams of the conference: FSU, Clemson, Miami, NC, Louisville, Virginia....will be cherry picked by the Big-10 and SEC. That would leave the dregs a bottom feeders dangling.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see counter-suits by the lesser teams because they have a near-guaranteed baseline of 30M year till 2036. If the ACC dissolves, those teams will lose millions of dollars over the next 13 years. It could approach 200M each because they Big-12 couldn't absorb them all. Might not want ta absorb any

    and the idea that OSU/WSU could reform a PAC by adding Cal/Stanford and teams like Duke, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Wake Forest, Boston College abd command any kind of substantial media deal seem mostly fantasy. They might be looking at 15M/year, or less while taking on big travel expenses

    Most of them (maybe all) are private schools. Where you gotta pay the bookoo bucks. My cousins went to Santa Clara where it’s like 50k a year to send your kid there

    Yeah all WCC schools are private. Now they average $78-83k a year!

    it's been a "ruthless business" for decades

    it can no longer hide behind the pathetic facade of 'amateur sport' or enjoy the protection of having it's anti-trust business model ignored by the courts. The courts have noticed and gutted the NCAA's power to grift off of the incredibly cheap labor of the athletes while restricting those same athlete's rights to share in the revenue they create

    it's just all out in the open now....except of course for the reality you can't say NIL without mentioning NDA
