Outstanding answer, I have been trying to communicate this, but you said it

much better than I have said it. One question for you, the CBS NCAA πŸ€ contract runs out in 2031. So many have said, as long as CBS has the contract the tournament will not expand because they want it done before the Masters, so they can promote the Masters. What I have heard is that once the contract is up, another network like ESPN or Fox will work hard to get it and expand to about 96 teams. The money paid out on the early games will be paid to the NCAA to support Olympic Sports and other Divisions, like most of it is now. However, the Sweet 16 will be paid out to the participating basketball schools that make it, much more like the 🏈 playoff money. Consequently, the πŸ€ first schools will finally start making similar money as the 🏈 first schools. This is why Yormark keeps talking about πŸ€ and why the ACC will survive, even if they lose the Mag 7. Are you hearing something similar? TIA for your answer.

B12 doesn’t need to help the ACC at all.

Under that scenario, the GOR is basically dead.

So it’s your belief that ESPN would pay a conference comprised of

No, I was going based off what you said about realignment drying up

The money seems to be the only factor. **

With P2 completely dominating 🏈 playoff spots/πŸ’΅, no one leaves NCAA 4 now
