Basically admitting they need other schools/states to jump in, this is big,

IMHO. I never thought that FSU and Clemson could go it alone. IMHO they need at least the Mag 7 to jump in, and they won't do it IMHO without a P2 landing spot. This is why the FSU and B12 Podcasters keep trying to get schools to run for the gate like the PAC 12 did, but the ACC has a network and a TV contract with ESPN, the Pac had neither. I know ESPN could pull the plug on the contract, but they would not recover the money they put in the ACCN and are they are better off without some schools? Maybe, but maybe not too. The question is how does ESPN make more money keeping the ACC or dissolving it? ** Edited by Stech at 4/23/2024, 12:47:07 PM

Good stuff, we're back to does ESPN want to renew the contract w/ the ACC?
Stech • 04/23/24 02:00 PM ET
Because then the damages are MUCH LESS. You can't amortize the damages
TDVick • 04/26/24 01:59 PM ET
ESPN doesn't want any of the terms of the contract out

At a minimum, there will be a reluctance to accept these clauses in the

Makes sense & I can see why ESPN is so angry about it, goes beyond ACC.

"There is no realignment scenario where ESPN loses." Huh?

I agree they will be alright, but the question is, what is "best" for them?
