If the CW and/or Amazon wanted a certain percentage of content to include

games involving the "marquee names" in the ACC, then do you think ESPN would still go along with the arrangement?

Well - streamers are starting to buy just a few college games

What would streamers pay for a 16 team super league?
mancunian • 05/01/26 09:12 AM ET
I think it will be more likely the blue bloods

I wonder what a streamer would pay for Ohio State's football home games?
SMU Pony • 05/01/26 08:40 AM ET
Imagine this scenario with Ohio State and Michigan...
SMU Pony • 05/01/26 09:05 AM ET
USC already tried to do similar, and the Big Ten shot it down.
reestuart • 05/04/26 12:52 PM ET
Add USC and PSU.

Texas tried that….**

The LHN is not an apples to apples comparison
SMU Pony • 05/01/26 07:11 PM ET
The Texas network was more about 3rd tier worth. Not football.**
Big12 guy • 05/01/26 10:41 PM ET
Like it or not, the blue bloods are driving the bus. **
Big12 guy • 05/01/26 08:47 AM ET
I love this.
HouClone • 04/30/26 08:54 PM ET
The ESPN payout to the ACC will be the same regardless, no?
SMU Pony • 04/30/26 08:57 PM ET
The article says "everyone worked together" to get this done.
Truthahn • 05/01/26 12:15 PM ET
Do you think VT should get some of that money? **
Big12 guy • 05/01/26 12:56 PM ET
For bball, espn still wins
HokieAl • 04/30/26 09:19 PM ET
VT is nowhere close to being in a P1. See my thread a few below this**

You are probably right...**

HokieAl • 05/01/26 08:47 AM ET
You are only looking back, sure last 15 not good, but that’s irrelevant to
Stech • 04/30/26 08:41 PM ET
Looking back is actual results. Nobody is going to invite VT for potential
HokieAl • 04/30/26 09:15 PM ET
Indiana changed it in 2 years, and I don’t think the P1 is a year away like
Stech • 05/01/26 02:48 AM ET
No I wasn’t saying P1 in a year
HokieAl • 05/01/26 08:46 AM ET
I agree with that, and I agree we have to play our way back into it, and I
Stech • 05/01/26 09:40 AM ET
For AD, I think my lean is an ESPN person
HokieAl • 05/01/26 01:52 PM ET
that the same attitude that keeps states behind
1947Sunbowl • 04/30/26 11:21 PM ET
IMO this is a trail balloon. The third tier rights are greatly undervalued
hokieninsurance • 04/30/26 02:19 PM ET
I don't think it's a trial balloon..if it is, it's a bad one
SMU Pony • 04/30/26 07:38 PM ET
I disagree, as a cord cutter (havent have regular cable in 10 years)

VTHokie2000 • 04/30/26 03:15 PM ET
If they did, they would let CW or Amazon
Big12 guy • 04/30/26 05:01 PM ET
Yes, they could do that until the current GOR expires. However, is that in
VTHokie2000 • 04/30/26 05:10 PM ET
I guess they could do that, but we know now
Big12 guy • 04/30/26 05:44 PM ET
The only way Amazon and the CW could do that is if ESPN gives them access
