ESPN is getting exactly what they wanted
Basically their job has been to promote the SEC at every opportunity, in every sport to drive up demand. At the same time, they have trashed the ACC at every opportunity, in every sport. Not sure why they've been doing that, other than to keep the interest and payouts to the ACC as low as possible, so they can continue paying the SEC those exorbitant rates. Wouldn't be surprised to learn that some of what the ACC makes for ESPN is getting routed to pay the SEC.

If the networks succeed in having 2 or 3 conferences left.

Kinda but not exactly. We’ve seen a glimpse of where this is going.

This will happen much sooner than a decade or two. I predict within 5 - 10
