$500 million would be a good start.

Departing schools would essentially have to buy back their media rights from the ACC and ESPN if they wanted to be able to include them as part of their new conference's TV deal. Those aren't going to be let go of cheaply.

Has it been confirmed that it is in fact 10 votes?****
vtka93 • 07/08/22 04:54 PM ET

daveinop • 07/08/22 05:13 PM ET
$500M according to Dennis Dodd
TabbHokie • 07/08/22 04:02 PM ET

Man, if 5 schools leave and we spread their payments over 5 years
hokieZ71 • 07/08/22 04:24 PM ET
Its not lump sum. Its each year as earned**
133743Hokie • 07/08/22 07:00 PM ET
No, there will be a settlement.**
hokieZ71 • 07/08/22 07:30 PM ET
I always thought with the ACC retaining the rights...
