The ACC swung a hammer today and nailed down its conference for the next 15 years.

So much for Florida State and Clemson joining the Big 12 or for the Big Ten poaching Notre Dame, or pretty much anything else that involves that ACC membership — and, yes, this includes the Fighting Equality Irish.

Figuring the annual television rights package to be worth $20 million a school, a team leaving now would owe a ridiculous $300 million to do so.

It’s enormous and it may finally encourage you to get to know the conference you belong to because you might not be leaving it or adding to it any time soon.
