ESPN doesn’t have to pay substantially more.

They just have to agree that the added content can be bid on and they can even have first crack during the negotiations. None of this works if Oregon and Washington go to the B1G but if the ACC could get those two plus Stanford as a part of 5-6 Pacific Northwest schools, there is a way to create enough valuable content utilizing the fanbases on each coast to add significant value. Enough to put the ACC firmly in between the P2 and Big XII. FSU’s board stated numerous times that an extra $5-$6M didn’t help with a deficit of $30M. But…an extra $15M or so would. And I think with Stanford, Oregon and Washington as a core of a Pacific division inside a 20 team league on the ACC Network, the ACC can get to that valuation.

ESPN is taking on water too, so the odds of them ponying up more $ is low**

It’s about ESPN cutting expenses, they won’t be paying some of the schools.

After the dust settles, at least we'll still have our E$PN B10 nooners.

The B1G will no longer be broadcast on ESPN, it’s Fox, CBS & NBC for them.**

The ACC would get more money, but will have more mouths to feed, thus...

Exactly. The B1G and SEC won't take in FSU with the GoR issue unresolved.

exactly BINGO

Take the money if they want out that bad. $200M - $250M. **
