Because this makes no sense, I am convinced that the ACC Presidents

will approve of this deal. And that is not tic - unfortunately. They seem to make bad decision after bad decision. This will, by no means, keep FSU, Clemson, and any others in the ACC. When/If they get a chance to leave, they will regardless of this model - and I don't blame them - I would leave the ACC if given the chance as well.

They could use top 25 rankings as a measure, say with

Even the Top 25 is too subjective. It's very, very simple-

I've got to believe the networks are hiring smart folks like CobbCounty

Here is the simple analogy...
jesuisvtguy • 09/19/24 08:18 PM ET
Maybe the networks pick matches that attract higher ratings?

It is not a conspiracy theory......

Come on. FSU and Clemson have lots of football fans

Well, I'm guessing ABC,ESPN and Disney execs, plus super highly paid media
