How would that work?

First west coast games are at 330, more games available is cannibalizing existing viewers with maybe a few pac fans that live east added, don't see that as substantial. Late games, only die hards on the east coast are watching, again, not much to add there because they're already watching. Remember, additional revenue requires more eyeballs, the same number of eyeballs on more inventory is a negative

I wonder if we see a ACC - PAC 9 merger?
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 10:19 AM ET
I believe people would.......
2hhoop3 • 08/04/23 03:06 PM ET
I guess this is a concern for Stanford**
Va AandM • 08/04/23 04:39 PM ET
I think it is a concern......
2hhoop3 • 08/04/23 05:38 PM ET
No, I doubt it
GoobyPls • 08/04/23 02:55 PM ET
This would have worked before USC and UCLA left.
wwhokie1 • 08/04/23 12:57 PM ET
The math does not even come close to working, no value to ACC
Vienna_Hokie • 08/04/23 10:57 AM ET
Pac 9 with a GOR is a different ballgame

You are assuming ESPN will not step up the money with the APAC merger, not
Stech • 08/04/23 12:02 PM ET
I just addressed that below. We aren’t consuming the Pac9. We are merging**
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 10:58 AM ET
OK, even assuming the base is current payouts, which seems unrealistic
Vienna_Hokie • 08/04/23 11:55 AM ET
PAC 12 viewership was fine. They just don’t have an eastern time slot.
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 12:00 PM ET
ACC/PAC would need to fork over $864M to keep the status quo
Victor Tango • 08/04/23 10:43 AM ET
No a merger doesn’t mean the Pac9 gets what we get.
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 10:51 AM ET
Instead of a merger, how about an alliance?
EDGEMAN • 08/04/23 11:13 AM ET
Lol, nice pull. Nah it’d have to be something more tangible.**
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 11:24 AM ET
I'd rather not lose the money we get now.**
EDGEMAN • 08/04/23 11:27 AM ET
I'd like to see it be just TV if that is what you mean.
Truthahn • 08/04/23 11:06 AM ET
Doubtful, since UW and Oregon have put on the knee pads for a B1X invite
EDGEMAN • 08/04/23 10:31 AM ET
Nah I don’t think that’s going to happen until 2030
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 10:37 AM ET
aTm didn't want Big-TX in the SEC, but big conferences tell their members..
EDGEMAN • 08/04/23 10:59 AM ET
It's funny - aTm assisted in this stupid destruction of college football
VPI_1998 • 08/04/23 12:50 PM ET
They'll always be little brother. LOL.**
reestuart • 08/04/23 01:01 PM ET
By the way USC controls LA not the Big Ten.
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 11:04 AM ET
Doubt the Big10 let USC tell them anything
vtka93 • 08/04/23 11:14 AM ET
USC is money. That 7B contract has USC’s prints all on it.
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 11:27 AM ET
Texas rolled up like 14 years later too**
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 11:03 AM ET
Nope, seems they weren't willing to bend over 1/2 way**
