Breaking the ACC Grant of Rights

If Clemson, Florida State. Miami and UNC would like to break the Grant of Rights in order to become independent or join another conference, there is a way that would decrease the cost of such an action.
If the four schools decided to throw in together, they could come to an agreement in which one of the four simply leaves the ACC and they all split the cost. This would break the Grant of Rights, since the ACC could no longer honor it's agreement with ESPN.
Since three of the schools would still be in the ACC while this legal battle was going on, they could help vote against anything that came up in the conference meetings. Due to the break up, the ACC would have to renegotiate their deal with the ESPN, which would probably be for much less without one of the main players. I would think that to keep the school from leaving, the ACC would come to some other agreement in order to prevent the breakup. This would either force a change of the distribution to allow the schools making the lions share of the money to also receive the lions share of the proceeds. The current setup has the weaker schools riding the coat tails of the stronger schools. If the weaker schools were faced with the prospect of being forced to join another weaker conference or stay in the ACC at a drastically reduced income, it would change their opinion on the distribution of the income.
It may also simply break up the ACC and then we would see who has better prospects and who does not.
Just an idea.

I’ve always thought you were ignorant. Know, I know you are. This is the dumbest statement you’ve ever made.

You think the revenue gap in 2023 is still the same as it was in 2013-2018 (the years we recruited the players that won those two Nattys)?
Resting on our laurels while our competition outpaces us by $10,000,000+ per year is a sure fire way to fall behind.

Yes, of course there's a difference.

Been that way for decades. Hasn't stopped us from winning national championship, so obviously additional money isn't needed.
It'd be nice to have for sure, but we don't need more money to be an elite program. Money DOES NOT change a program. There are only so many slides and putt putt courses you can build. Vanderbilt makes 10's of millions more dollars than we do from TV contracts, but it hasn't helped them win football games.
The coots have made more money than us every year since they joined the SEC in 1992. How has that helped them exactly?
And no, the TV contract money we're talking about can't be used for NIL.

No, it has not been that way for decades. The massive TV contracts that the SEC and B10 signed are just now coming to fruition. Meanwhile, our contract is mid-term and has more than a decade left on it.
That's the point...we are entering a new age. Other conference teams are now (just now...not previously) making literally $10-20M more per year than we are. Not a few million...many many millions. Every year.
If you think that won't make a difference, you have your head in the sand.

You're living in fantasy land. So is the other poster who posted that tweet. You just have to deal with reality as it is.

I think the ACC's attorneys will be smart enough to see right through your plan! (sarcasm)
They will sue all four schools and then we will be right where we started. The four schools would be on the hook for causing billions of dollars in damages in lost revenue from the ACC's decade long TV contract
