Feels like a lot of people are conflating "breaking" a contract and buying out of a contract. A team paying the previously agreed upon exit fee is not breaking a contract. They are just deciding if the money makes sense to use the exit clause of a contract.
Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

I don't really agree with the talk that the Pac-12 beating the Big 12 to market is some sort of advantage. Networks aren't going to offer up big dollars when there's a comparable (or slightly better) product to fall back on a year later.
The PAC is stuck in a situation where the supply is high and demand is low. Not good for a conference looking to cash out and remain afloat.

From what others have said, apparently Yormark indicated at media days that moving up the negotiating window could be an option if it makes sense.
I'm just not sold that there's ever going to be a need.
It’s not necessarily an advantage to getting more media media dollars but it is an advantage in keeping the PAC alive
PAC adds SDSU, SMU everyone else stays and gets 35 million per team done. ESPN over pays a few million per team. WSU, OSU don’t get ******.
I know the pac is desperate but I don’t think they would ever add SMU. Brings the value down and is a religious school
ND's football media rights aren't included in the ACC's GoR. You can't try equating ND's situation to Clemson or FSU, whose football media rights are owned by the ACC through the GoR.
And if you're saying that if ND left early they'd owe the ACC $$$ for the media value of those 5 ACC games they'd no longer be playing, that's a stretch and even if it were the case, they wouldn't owe the ACC for any of those 5 games played at ND and aired on NBC because that's part of ND's media deal that the ACC has no rights to.
My son’s roommate was on the Caltech baseball team and tried to get him to play. When my son said he hadn’t played since Babe Ruth 15 year olds, roommate said that was probably enough to be a starter.
There is survival mode and then their is taking SMU that adds no actual value and is antithetical to everything the Pac12 and it’s member institutions stand for. You will never get the school presidents to sign off on it
Since football drives about 80 percent of major conferences' television money, Notre Dame receives one-fifth, 20 percent, of a full share of the league's guaranteed rights fees, a fair and mathematically sound arrangement.
That ratio is reflected in the ACC's most recent tax return, for fiscal 2014-15.
The conference distributed $373,162,899 to its 15 schools, about 55 percent of which came from television rights fees. So Notre Dame received $6.2 million, less than one-fourth of the $26.21 million the league's other members pocketed, on average.
Notre Dame merits its full share of ACC Network revenue
Notre Dame and the ACC announced their limited partnership in September 2012. Since, the Fighting Irish have: Reached back-to-back NCAA men’s basketball tournament Elite Eights for the first …

Yeah, ND gets a small cut from the ACC for media revenue, and gives zero $$$ to the ACC from its media deal with NBC. Not sure what you're trying to say here honestly.Since football drives about 80 percent of major conferences' television money, Notre Dame receives one-fifth, 20 percent, of a full share of the league's guaranteed rights fees, a fair and mathematically sound arrangement.

This says otherwise, a copy of the ACC GOR agreement, notice ND is listed.
What does the ACC's Grant of Rights agreement say? Here's a copy
Conference realignment is shaking college athletics once again. The key to ACC stability appears to be its grant of rights agreement. Read it here.

No one has said that ND is giving any of their money off their NBC deal to the conference, only that the ACC owns the rights to all ND media material, other than those NBC games.
Anything new in the last several weeks yet? Didn’t think so.
Nah.This says otherwise, a copy of the ACC GOR agreement, notice ND is listed.

"There's a reason the Notre Dame brand avoided the doorway of college football's realignment party, so far. Instead Notre Dame maintains its status as an independent with noticeable patience. The Fighting Irish TV deal with the ACC includes a sizable exit fee, but Notre Dame would be free of paying the Grant of Rights charge for football, according to ESPN's David Hale."
So for at least $100 million, and giving up the one thing they treasure the most, independence in football, they can join the B10.Nah.

Why do I think they will be passing on the opportunity, until forced to do so. When that happens, they will drive a hard bargain for the Big 10. Unlike most schools, money is not a problem for ND.
Or just stick to 10 like the Big12 did?
Until 2 more teams run, then their aren’t really any other teams out there.
The other key thing is that isn’t not really 100mil, it’s only 25-35mil more then their perspective deal. So they obv stay independent
