1 espn no 2 said in. Interview that espn spent alot of upfront $$$ to create the accn and it needs a long time to replace investment. Therefore it is not good for espn to see acc collapse or any of their conference partners try to add acc members. Further he said to the sec that adding any acc members will not at all increase rights and they will be forced to even reduce allotment per school. Acc is the no 1 basketball product in us. I think espn might encourage big 12 to take 4 pac 12 first ariz arizon state utah and co. And second phase wash st and oregon st- ( assume oregon wash cal and standford to big 10. I think espn might promote wv central florida and cincinatti and iowa st to acc. He mention they are working on some ideas to increase $$$ to the espn fees to the acc. One thing is go to 9 games might trigger different $$ This is interesting - the same schools that want more espn $$ fsu Clemson - along with gt and Louisville are the ones who object to 9 game schedule and were willing to walk over that.. hmmm Any opinion??
