You Do Have to Remember Josh Pate

However all these well connected MSM Sports big wigs singing the same song has to be very disconcerting to all the ACC faithfuls on this board. This probably would be the nail in the coffin for the ACC as a P4. FSU could not get totally free from the ACC but would only have that GOR as an obstacle until June 30, 2027. All the ACC schools would see the writing onl the wall to get any opportunistic decisions made in short order. We will now just have to wait until next February.

I just dont see ESPN dropping the ACCN. It is profitable, generates
HboroughHokie • 08/20/24 06:09 PM ET
They don’t have to drop it. They can just start a brand new contract
HokieAl • 08/20/24 06:42 PM ET
I don’t either, cuz Fox or Peacock or CBS will be glad to grab it…**

Nobody else can just "grab" the ACCN if ESPN declines to extend the r'ship-

Wonder if Philips has started looking around for competitive bids?**
VT ChemE 1986 • 08/20/24 06:04 PM ET
It's not that bold a prediction. The fact it isn't already extended
HokieAl • 08/20/24 03:34 PM ET
Yes, the GOR has a 2036 date for a very specific reason
VTCALS72 • 08/21/24 07:39 AM ET
There is no shadowy intrigue around either of the items you raise here-
Baltimore_Hokie • 08/21/24 03:55 PM ET
I don't think it's a re-negotiation. It's an option to extend
SpeakToDamien • 08/20/24 05:31 PM ET
The only reason these reporters can continue to make these predictions is
WBGV • 08/20/24 04:08 PM ET
actually I think we are already getting a preview of how the ACC survives
HokieAl • 08/20/24 05:05 PM ET
GOR likely is still enforceable regardless
SpeakToDamien • 08/20/24 03:23 PM ET
NO GOR Without ESPN as the Media Provider
WarHog38 • 08/20/24 06:14 PM ET
The better question is (inside)
El Paso Hokie • 08/20/24 11:41 PM ET
You might be right, but there is no conclusive evidence either way.**
Stech • 08/20/24 07:03 PM ET
Doesn't the conference own all TV rights regardless of the carrier?
Hokester • 08/20/24 03:34 PM ET
It's the best argument FSU has imo
SpeakToDamien • 08/20/24 04:16 PM ET
The GOR says "expressly set forth in the ESPN Agreement”
HokieAl • 08/20/24 03:38 PM ET
Seems like people that make predictions at the beginning of the new

The PAC12 didn't lose a TV contract mid-stride, it ended 2 months ago...
BROman Hokie • 08/21/24 10:19 AM ET
Heard the PAC Over Priced Themselves Angle Before
WarHog38 • 08/21/24 02:36 PM ET
One must not forget that the PACN was smack dab in the middle of those

RJHokie • 08/20/24 01:40 PM ET
Probably but I have to believe both the ACC and ESPN would want to
Femoyer Hokie • 08/20/24 02:14 PM ET
I don't think either are obligated to announce anything about it.
HOO86 • 08/20/24 05:09 PM ET
Maybe ESPN is waiting to see how the 12 team playoff shakes out...**
Two4VT • 08/20/24 02:49 PM ET
The contract extension not being announced is not speculation. It's reality**

Different scenario there.
