ESPN Wants to Dodge Responsibility For Destroying The ACC

Just like ESPN & FOX colluded to destroy the PAC. Some here like to champion the Big-12 akin to a much better oiled machine in this expansion circus. The Big-12 just got a comparable TV Media Deal that the PAC was denied. Who did the denying? ESPN & FOX. You keep seeing the Fact that the SEC & B1G & Big-12 all made a point of publicly backing ESPN in all that redacting of supposed Trade Secrets in the ACC TV Contract. Was that really necessary? NO It is just publicly flaunting the fact that all the major football conferences are in bed with Big Media. Clemson does have a point. How can you legally challenge aspects of the ACC TV Contract in court when you cannot mention those aspects in court? Which begs another question. How can the ACC legally enforce that TV Contract against Clemson in court with all those redactions? Looks like wie have Compositions Clauses & Contact Extensions Look-Ins that only benefit ESPN throughout that ACC TV Contract. Those are the Trade Secrets that all the P4 want to stay hidden from public view. Why? Because the ACC is going to be destroyed by ESPN while ESPN publicly acts like they were backed into a corner by the greed of everyone else instead of themselves. That ACC TV Contract would show how ESPN had it all planned out over 10 years ago.

How Much of That $125-$140 Million is Attributable to FSU & Clemson

Makes sense. And I hope the Big XII doesn’t think it’s in the clear.
hokieZ71 • 07/07/24 07:35 AM ET
Not if the GOR holds.

Big12 guy • 07/07/24 01:29 PM ET
I think the networks want the NFL model in college football.

At that point, the GOR is not even an issue. If there is a

Exactly. GOR’s just show you the vulnerable leagues.

Yes, but who do the networks negotiate with? keep in mind that there

Carol Folt is the president of the AAU, another slimy entity. **
HouClone • 07/05/24 08:15 PM ET
Slimy? Fairly useless, I think, but I'm not sure how it's "slimy"**
Pylons • 07/08/24 11:53 AM ET
One informal definition.......
2hhoop3 • 07/08/24 12:11 PM ET
I hardly see how that definition fits

Folt approving and......

Why assume what will or won't "satisfy" me?

Your previous responses.......
2hhoop3 • 07/08/24 04:39 PM ET
I don't know any details about Folt and it is pointless to revisit.
Pylons • 07/08/24 02:04 PM ET
Corect, " ... AAU, another slimy entity."
Atlee Hokie • 07/05/24 09:27 PM ET
Wasn't that before Utah and Colorado? 14 teams with a big gap between.

Interesting to speculate about

Old Line Hokie • 07/05/24 10:09 AM ET
After that bad move, they should really have raided the eight team B12.

Precisely, the XII was supposed to die

The Xll did die. What we have today is a different conference. **
