I also think that people are forgetting basket ball. While it is a minor

driver compared to the football revenue, the P2 will be looking to get a bigger share of the NCAA Basketball tournament pot of gold. Once all is said and done the P2 will play hard ball with the NCAA on this issue. There is no way in heck that they are going to be willing to share equal payouts with the Daytons of the world. There will be a game of brinkmanship at some point. The NCAA will say, "no", equal payouts for everyone or you dont have to participate. The P2 will say "good luck than" - no Duke, UNC, Kansas, Mich, Fla, aTm, LSU, etc in the NCAA Tournament. How many people are going to tune in to watch Gonzaga vs Dayton? They will than realize that a "breakup" is not good for either and negotiate a larger payout for the P2. This is probably 10 years down the road, but it is coming and the P2 leadership is playing the long game here - as they should. My point is, that a school like Duke/Kansas, while they suck in football, bring some value when you look at the end game. ** Edited by 133193Hokie at 7/3/2022, 12:43:26 PM

The ACC can leverage the ESPN for more $ in this, right?

Exactly right... there are strategies at play...

The ACC "braintrust" doesn't have the ability to pull that off - idiots **

Even if they got a larger payout, why still be associated with inferior

That is what they will threaten the NCAA with - we will take our P2 teams

They could still decide to do their own thing and remain apart of the NCAA.

Yeah I’m not sold on 20+ for SEC/B1G each
Colonel Jessup 07/03/22 10:21 AM ET
If the Big Ten and SEC plan to do their own thing for all sports, then they

We won't be competing with the SEC or B1G, but with our peers.

Agree but any ACC team wanting out is stuck unless

the ACC will not keep all of its current members until 2036 - I am 100%

That's not how it works. The ACC owns the departing schools rights. Any
