ACC: Bill Introduced in NC that would remove NC State and UNC from ACC if ACC Boycotts again

There is a bill moving through the North Carolina legislature that would remove UNC and NC State from the ACC if the ACC were to boycott North Carolina due to state laws. This bill would also apply to any other state school and their conference if the same circumstances were to happen.

Interesting thought I had was the legal battle that would ensue regarding refusal to release their media rights, as those have been signed over until 2035. (ACC with grant of long term media rights did away with exit fees because they essentially assume that by not having their media rights, any member school would stay until that grant expires)

There is this piece in the Article:

"shall immediately provide written notice to the conference that the constituent institution intends to withdraw from the conference no later than when the assignment of its media rights expire, unless the conference immediately ends the boycott."

So does this mean that they both will submit notice they intend to withdraw in 2035-2036?

Hopefully this bill goes no where but it will be interesting to see it play out.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
β€œI served in the United States Navy"
