I agree with that, and it doesn't discount my statement

I don't believe the BIG's deal will come close to what it is being projected as, too much change in the conference that will likely cost them long term fans, that will reduce the growth from the expansion. I don't see any of the new TV deals adding real eyeballs, the BIG is pretty saturated. SEC is probably a bit overvalued, the biggest impact being the projections for the weekly prime afternoon game that CBS has had. The ACCs numbers are probably about right, nothing has really changed, in fact if they can manage to not suck so bad, the payouts could actually increase because people might be interested in watching.

You believe that USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington will be a big turn-off

This is all anecdotal, so take it with some healthy skepticism...

We can all understand your concept of a Big Ten Cult. I def get it.
33laszlo99 • 08/17/23 03:57 PM ET
Vienna’s the one with the “Big 10 cult” idea.
mancunian • 08/17/23 04:06 PM ET
We are soon to find out about National vs. Regional. Expensive experiment.**

The BIG is a midwest cult, many of my friends there became less BIG Fans..

Not advocating but to me it is along the lines

If the top 3 or 4 leave, it's not the ACC anymore except in name

What if the story said this?
Maroon Baboon • 08/17/23 08:13 AM ET
I wouldn't be surprised that the ACC allowed the contracts to be written
reestuart • 08/17/23 12:58 PM ET
Yep. Looks like a contradiction.**
33laszlo99 • 08/17/23 09:28 AM ET
In all honesty though, FSU has already kinda said this. LOL.**

I know I do not watch it, but NBC and ESPN will be heavy on it.
