And they'd be smart to. Rutgers and Maryland should barely even be receiving what ACC schools get.

Joining the BiG was Maryland’s and Rutgers’ best organizational decision ever.

ACC Travel Takes Its Toll on Cal, Stanford
At Cal and Stanford, fall sports teams traveled tens of thousands of miles farther than their last seasons in the Pac-12.

Congrats to the
After seeing what happened to the PAC12, I can't believe there are people who don't think the smaller P2 schools could be on the outside looking in in the future. And it doesn't have to be with the B1G kicking them out. More than likely, it will be with Michigan, OSU, PSU, etc. leaving the B1G, kinda like the PAC12 comprised of WSU and Oregon St. In this case, it would be the B1G comprised of Indiana, Purdue, Rutgers, and Maryland.
And all for a partial share for the first few years in the ACC. SMHACC Travel Takes Its Toll on Cal, Stanford

They’re not locked into an insurmountable buyout at this point?

From what I've seen online, the B1G has no exit fee and the grant of rights is just through the end of the media deal - 2030.
The SEC has a $45 million exit fee with 2 year notice and the grant of rights is just through the end of their media deal - 2034.
What's to keep some deep pocket TV network over the next 4 or 5 years from swooping in and telling the top 20 "brands" of the B1G and SEC, we're willing to offer you guys $150 million a year per school if you join the Big F'in Money Conference (BFMC)? You just need to dump your current conferences and sign on the bottom line to start play in 2031.
Am I predicting this will happen? No. I'm just saying is it any more far-fetched than if someone told you the PAC12 would be gutted by 2024 in the year 2020? I don't think so.
