SMU could very well be one.

It would get Texas subscribers for the ACC Network. I would then take Tulane and get Louisiana too, and those two would have a travel partner. I wouldn't take 8 from the PAC12. I'd take 6 (Stanford, Cal, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, and Colorado). I still want Cincinnati and WVU, but Jim Phillips let the ship sail on those. Overall I'm glad to hear John Skipper come to the same conclusion that we've basically come to here on this board. The ACC has to expand to grow revenue. We have to both add content for ESPN to show as well as add subscribers for the ACC Network in order to increase revenue. We don't have to eliminate the GOR, just add more members to sign on to it. This would be more revenue for all the choices named through 2037. The PAC 12 is now looking at $25 million each tops. SMU and Tulane less.

I don't think the ACC or PAC can grow themselves out of this mess.

The ACC's biggest problem is the number of small private schools that...

The privates are tough, but they deserve a seat at the table

SMU might be the move if we follow Skipper's advice.

One hundred percent agree!**

Skipper is on an errand to show The ACC how they can help themselves.
33laszlo99 03/02/23 04:51 PM ET
It's folly to think you will get a BIG/SEC contract**
Big12 guy 03/02/23 12:04 PM ET
I didn't take it as belittling FSU, but they are trapped & trying to help
Stech 03/02/23 09:16 AM ET
Stech, ESPN is not your friend.
