Franchise Names

 

All franchises are named after Atlantic Coast Conference institutions. Current franchises are listed on the league home page If there were to be an expansion to a twelve-team league, Clemson and Wake Forest would become the final franchises.

 

(Rev. 1/2/13) The ACC has evolved over time whereby educational institutions have left and others have joined.  As a result, Maryland is no longer a member and Notre Dame is a new member.  Our franchises have made changes to their names as a result.

 

Franchise Fees

 

The current franchise fee is $110 (revised from $100), per franchise, per year. This fee is wholly to fund the prize pool. This fee does NOT include the cost of registering a team with a fantasy baseball website.  The franchise fee is to be paid by December 31 of each year beginning in the year 2011 upon the Commissioner's notification and request.  If the franchise fee payment isn’t received by the Commissioner by December 31, that team owner may be removed from the league. 

 

The Commissioner can appoint a Treasurer to handle the league monies and payouts, or can serve the role himself.

 

Franchise Trading

 

Owners may trade franchises at any time during the off-season. A franchise trade involves total transfer of all players and rights thereto. Both franchises retain all future obligations to other owners from past trades. Financial obligations are those of an owner and not a franchise; owners cannot avoid paying fees by trading franchises. Owners may trade franchises for any reason.

 

Franchise trades are announced by both franchise owners contacting the league mailing list and confirming the details of the trade.

 

Franchise Renaming

 

If an owner wishes to acquire the name of another ACC team that is unused, the owner may petition the league to gain permission to use that franchise name.

 

If an owner wishes to acquire the name of another ACC team that is currently in use, the owners may trade the names of their franchises only. Such an announcement would be made by announcement to the e-mail list with both owners confirming.

There has been some success with trading only franchise names without the swap of actual players. Also, vacant team names have been adopted by returning the existing franchise name to the available pool. Both actions required the approval of other owners.
