Some interesting quotes from this article from 2013 on the new ACC GOR deal:
"This announcement further highlights the continued solidarity and commitment by our member institutions,"
-ACC commissioner John Swofford
when the ACC increased its exit fee from $20 million to three times its annual operating budget -- about $52 million -- Maryland and Florida State voted against the increase.
"The added resources coming to the ACC schools will have a significant impact on the success of our athletic programs,"
- Florida State president Eric J. Barron
Duke men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski said the decision "secures the ACC's future, and thus Duke's, for years to come."
Bubba Cunningham, the athletic director at North Carolina, said the grant of rights "should put [conference] realignment on the shelf."
