The problem is that Disney is not going to pay big money for SMU and Wake Forest, they're only going to pay a premium for what people actually want to watch. The bigger problem is that FSU, Clemson, VT, Miami, UNC, and the rest then have to turn around and split that Disney money even-stevens with all the dead weight properties in the conference that everyone in America couldn't care less about. THAT's the issue. Nobody wants to watch Syracuse and Boston College play football, so Disney isn't going to pay anything above Dollar Tree prices for that content, which is going straight to the ESPN+ streaming bargain basement. But Syracuse and Boston College get the SAME SHARE of the media rights revenue. The dead weight schools in the conference are an anchor around the neck of the 5 or 6 ACC football teams people will actually watch. This is the very simple reason why the ACC is not going to survive, not whatever flash in the pan BS Greg Flugaur is making up out of whole cloth on his 2 hour YouTube videos that only have 2-3 minutes of actual substance. ** Edited by Baltimore_Hokie at 1/14/2025, 10:34:25 AM
