The ACC leadership (ie.e ACC Presidents) were fat, dumb, and happy with

the GOR - thinking it was the be all and end all answer. When, instead, they should have seen the threat and moved earlier by expanding. Two-three years ago there was talk of an ACC-PAC merger but according to reports the ACC U Presidents did not like the geo fit.

#2 is wrong. Existing ACC schools will be well ahead of the new Big 12 deal
SMU Pony • 02/28/24 11:39 PM ET
Ok, post the comparison when the subsidies end**
HouClone • 02/29/24 03:35 PM ET
That would depend on the Big 12's next deal (after 2031)**
SMU Pony • 02/29/24 09:04 PM ET
Define "well ahead". You can have the higher media payout if that is

I think existing schools will take home about 25% more than B12 schools...
SMU Pony • 02/29/24 09:08 PM ET
I won't take a guess on the numbers, but the ACC as it's configured today

It's about survival. When the look in happens in '26, let FOX bid for

Why would people want a network when most the games are on ESPN ABC or Fox
