So, you think the B12 contract just expires then? I suppose

there is a possibility they do not get a bump when they renegotiate, but I wouldn't bet on it. There is also a possibility they lose a few schools to the P2 - but all in the B12 have been passed over. Also, the ACC had an opportunity for every singe school in the B12. The ACC didn't come to the rescue when OUT left, and they had about 3 opportunities to add WVU in the past, not to mention Cincy, UCF, and Houston that would have taken an invite to the ACC any time it was offered in the past - but there was never any offer. With uneven distributions coming in the ACC, it is HIGHLY likely that UCF will be making more money than the bottom 1/2 of the ACC. Think about that for a few seconds. I will give you credit though, you have not changed your position.

Wouldn't UNC be gone? In this scenario**
MrFantastic! • 04/28/26 06:50 AM ET
Yes UNC is likely to leave.

You might be right. I just don't think they will be a "leader"

The ACC didn't need to raid the B12
RandomAsianGuy • 04/27/26 05:39 PM ET
I don't know, even by your math, they are about $5M behind the current
Big12 guy • 04/27/26 06:15 PM ET
$5 million?
RandomAsianGuy • 04/27/26 06:37 PM ET
With great respect, you still have the numbers
Big12 guy • 04/27/26 07:39 PM ET
That's not my post.
RandomAsianGuy • 04/27/26 08:34 PM ET
The old contract was around $25M. The B12 actually
Big12 guy • 04/27/26 08:50 PM ET
Yormark did well but that raise is basically an extension of old contract

Separating basketball rights will not be lucrative

Agreed. It may or may not bring in more money, but

I don't think it's that simple

That is why VT is ramping up immediately with funding

I am not understanding the draw of the P2

If no one leaves the ACC, you're probably correct.
wwhokie1 • 04/28/26 02:08 PM ET
IMO VT has a chance. Perhaps a slim chance but we have a shot.
