Define "well ahead". You can have the higher media payout if that is

important to you, but from where I'm sitting, the two conferences will be relatively close moving into the future - close enough that there will be no teams in the current P4 clamoring to get into the ACC over the B12. We don't know how FSU plays out, or others in the conference for that matter. The look in by ESPN will be key in '26, and I'm thinking that if schools leave the conference, they will have announced by then. Comparing the ACC payout vs the B12 payout is an exercise in futility. 1. We don't know who will be in the ACC moving forward. 2. We don't know what the contract will be through 2036. 3. It will not make a bit of difference unless the disparity is significant enough for teams to actually consider moving to the ACC, or the B12. 4. You can have the bragging rights, but really, it doesn't matter. 5. None of this is the B12's fault. It's pure survival.

From Tony Altimore on Twitter: Should the ACC just cut a deal with FSU?

This Pac shrill is terrible with predictions and conclusions.

They were always going to cut a deal. The only question is the

#2 is wrong. Existing ACC schools will be well ahead of the new Big 12 deal

Ok, post the comparison when the subsidies end**
HouClone 02/29/24 03:35 PM ET
That would depend on the Big 12's next deal (after 2031)**

I think existing schools will take home about 25% more than B12 schools...

I won't take a guess on the numbers, but the ACC as it's configured today

It's about survival. When the look in happens in '26, let FOX bid for

This would destroy the ACC network and that revenue stream. **

How so? The better games would be put on linier TV, and there would still

Why would people want a network when most the games are on ESPN ABC or Fox
