ESPN lookin next year + football centric breakaway is a very credible

Hypothesis. if the following is all true / comes to pass: 1) there is no near term demand for FSU, CU, UNC from the P2 conferences 2) the net payouts for the football/public breakaway schools go up, but the net payout by ESPN for the totality of the 2 groups does not change 3) the football group agrees to lock up for a number of years, to give it some stability from poaching 4) ESPN can actually terminate the current media deal and initiate this reorganization as suggested.

I’m starting to get the feeling FSU/Clemson is more about shrinking the ACC

well of course the question of a breakaway is the pro-rata numbers

What happens if FSU and Clemson leave for 2024?

Adding those three leveraged a bigger payout in the short term. Also

I dig it. Secession works, on occasion.

The lamentable part of this all is that the ACC could have fixed this …

If you think that the 4 corners to the XII was XII cherry picking

A conference of mostly West and East teams is not economically viable

That is kind of what I said, those 6 schools are only in temporary harbors
VTCALS72 • 03/31/24 06:20 PM ET
Breakaway ACC is s actually my preferred outcome

Hokie83 • 03/31/24 01:27 PM ET

Stech • 03/31/24 03:38 PM ET

I don't think there are enough football-centric schools in the ACC to make
