[QUOTE="michaelwalkerbr, post: 129495707, member: 1601483"] To clarify my original point, Pitt was eager to join the Big 10 and they wanted Pitt. The ACC would automatically invoke the GOR, crippling Pitt financially. The Big 10 then did the only thing they could. Offer the ACC $700 million to make a one time exception 'for the good of the conference'. That's $50 million per school and tough to turn down. We're not talking FSU and Clemson here. Very few donors could afford to pay for that and fewer still would be eccentric enough to donate that kind of money simply to get their school into any conference. It's the only loophole I see in the GOR. You would have to buy your way around it. We're actually of the same mindset regarding the GOR. [/QUOTE]
