Agreed, but we likely won't pull P2 money anymore as Big10 and SEC grew...
Big10 got the 4 best brands from the PAC. SEC got the 2 best brands from the Big12.
The Big10 will have weekly football games that include Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington... with Nebraska and Wisconsin right up there. DANG that is a tremendous lineup of inventory.
The SEC will have weekly football games that include Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Auburn... with Arkansas, Mississippi and MSU right up there.
The ACC will have weekly football games that include Clemson, Florida State, Miami... with maybe UNC, Va Tech right up there... and maybe a wildcard of ND.
The Big10 and SEC have separated themselves with their deep inventory. The ACC can still be successful, and maybe the P2 talent gets overly distributed between all those... but the ACC and B12 will not be seeing nor deserve SEC/Big10 money anymore.

They could make the ACC a P3. I'm not sure of the financials.
