Cracks me up how Rival Conference posters almost always end w/ ACC demise🤔

However, they imply it’s sooner rather than later, until they have to kick the can again. We have not even gotten to August 15th the third date of the summer of the demise of the ACC, and now they are kicking it to August 2025. Skipped right over the February 2025 date. Maybe ESPN wants to keep the ACC where they have already spent a ton of money on the network and are now making money? Maybe FSU and Clemson are just trying to get more money from ESPN for the ACC by threatening living for the B10? Maybe the NCAA 🏀 tournament expands and top schools and conferences start making similar money to the playoff teams? Maybe the ACC and B12 can make up the money not made in football, in basketball? Maybe you end up with Tier 1 football being the SEC and B10, but they are Tier 2 in basketball, and vice versa with the ACC and B12? Could Mark Twain have it right? Are the reports of his death (ACC) greatly exaggerated? ** Edited by Stech at 8/9/2024, 8:41:45 AM

ESPN may have an offer on the table, and Phillips is trying to get more.
