I think its a hybrid model, non traditional...

I think this is orchestrated by ESPN. Big 12 and ACC going to get an bump in rights to bet them closer to SEC/Big 10. (my guess about 80 percent of the SEC. (and that is ok).... After Ok/Tx leaves... the Big 12 takes 4 of the Pac 12 (that now leaves 6 left in the Pac 12. that gets them to 16. Then ESPN deal kicks in and Cincinnati and WVU move to the ACC and that opens up 2 more slots for Pac 12 schools or even Big 12 just takes the rest... With GT in shaky situation, they leave and ACC picks up also UCF and boom. all tightly bound.... do think though the key is ESPN

If the CFP-12 with 6 champs, it won't make sense to merge wrt access to the

Maybe just a scheduling agreement?

Did that mean he might want to dump some of the ACC schools?
Truthahn • 09/25/22 05:34 PM ET
Sounds possible
MrFantastic! • 09/25/22 06:03 PM ET
I think the more likely path would be succession not merger

How would you coordinate the tv negotiations for something like that given
BAMRising • 09/24/22 10:17 AM ET
Start a company designed to do this.
33laszlo99 • 09/25/22 07:21 PM ET
no doubt it would be complex and staged over a period of time
Vippie1 • 09/24/22 10:26 AM ET
So basically a national TV contract serving as an umbrella w 3 conferences
BAMRising • 09/24/22 10:39 AM ET
You could have some fun with scheduling…

I think that's the 'drug deal"
Mercury • 09/24/22 11:23 AM ET
Best option now would be to skip over those and get Baylor and OK State

"Let The Big Ten go?" ESPN's advertisers will disagree.**

We don’t know how much the delta is between what the PAC 12 and Big 12
Marooned • 09/27/22 08:25 PM ET
I've seen year to year payouts, ACC gets a big $ bump in 2024-5 I think.
Truthahn • 09/25/22 01:32 PM ET
If ACC lost both FSU and Miami would be neat to have UCF and USF

Location, location, location, that's going to create compelling matchups
