Probably planned when they brought Cal

And Stanfird in. Would need teams to keep conference viable, expense of longer litigation helps nobody. The Gor was effective but ultimately won't achieve the primary goal of maintaining the conference. It did put the conference in position to vanish with the B12 beating the ACC to the expansion punch.

#2 is wrong. Existing ACC schools will be well ahead of the new Big 12 deal

Ok, post the comparison when the subsidies end**
HouClone 02/29/24 03:35 PM ET
That would depend on the Big 12's next deal (after 2031)**
SMU Pony 02/29/24 09:04 PM ET
Define "well ahead". You can have the higher media payout if that is

I think existing schools will take home about 25% more than B12 schools...
SMU Pony 02/29/24 09:08 PM ET
I won't take a guess on the numbers, but the ACC as it's configured today

That, and the ACC could have plucked the B12 leftovers. KU in

It's about survival. When the look in happens in '26, let FOX bid for
Big12 guy 02/28/24 11:31 AM ET
This would destroy the ACC network and that revenue stream. **

How so? The better games would be put on linier TV, and there would still
Big12 guy 02/28/24 11:59 AM ET
Why would people want a network when most the games are on ESPN ABC or Fox

It's about exposure and recruiting. How many high school players subscribe
