I was negotiating yesterday and today, with no details, but I let people

know we are talking, especially when you have an established relationship. It’s not about sharing details, but they can easily say they are talking. A statement like ESPN has a great relationship with the ACC or the ACC can say we have a great relationship with ESPN. They both know by not saying something subtle like that, people many times question the relationship.

Bally doesn't sublease
mrcaniac • 08/22/24 06:11 PM ET
The article stated that the NBA and NHL were subleased, but the baseball
Big12 guy • 08/22/24 06:47 PM ET
Most national contracts would have a sublease provision
hokieninsurance • 08/22/24 10:24 AM ET
Where you lose me, is that you are sure the ACC had to consent. You are
Big12 guy • 08/22/24 10:41 AM ET
That’s a very interesting theory, and the kind of well thought out option👏
Stech • 08/21/24 02:00 PM ET
Ill even give you some circumstantial proofs
hokieninsurance • 08/21/24 08:14 PM ET
Agree. This is a very interesting take on what may be happening behind
RJHokie • 08/21/24 04:19 PM ET
What value would there be refuting them or agreeing to an extension now?
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/24 10:05 AM ET
Small nit to pick. UNC is the most valuable property in the ACC.**

I don’t expect them to discuss any details, but just not saying we have a

Why should they? What happens with FSU and Clemson and maybe
VTCALS72 • 08/21/24 07:30 AM ET
Because discussions and negotiations always take place in private.
wwhokie1 • 08/20/24 11:19 PM ET
But is it a negotiation? I thought ESPN was just deciding whether to pick
HokieNoVA • 08/21/24 09:44 AM ET
Phillips announced during media days that he was in negotiations with ESPN.**
Big12 guy • 08/21/24 10:01 AM ET
Of course one guys negotiations is another man's supplying all talking pts.**

Jim Phillips has made the kind of statements you reference**
wwhokie1 • 08/21/24 02:13 PM ET
Okay I remember one, but one and done is not going to cut it.**
Stech • 08/21/24 03:26 PM ET
Maybe they find all the gnashing of teeth over this topic amusing
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/24 08:25 AM ET
I Thought About That More Subtle Approach Being Adequately Helpful
WarHog38 • 08/21/24 02:19 AM ET
I Know This
WarHog38 • 08/20/24 09:31 PM ET
ESPN’s silence is deafening.
WBGV • 08/21/24 08:25 AM ET
Easy answer, they want to help themselves first.
VTCALS72 • 08/21/24 07:33 AM ET
Don’t have to. They are going to keep this close to the vest
RJHokie • 08/20/24 09:35 PM ET
Media companies move slower than a snail
mrcaniac • 08/20/24 08:14 PM ET
Maybe you ought to contact ESPN directly and ask them.
RJHokie • 08/20/24 07:55 PM ET
So far nothing 🤣🤣**
Stech • 08/20/24 08:42 PM ET
And there will be nothing until the last minute.**
RJHokie • 08/20/24 08:46 PM ET
You ask the right question........
2hhoop3 • 08/20/24 08:22 PM ET
Why would the release public comments? It's not how most businesses work.**
