It is probably too late. Many of us here have been imploring the ACC to

look into a merger of some sort. Looks like UA and ASU are all but in the Big XII and Oregon and UW in the Big Ten. Should have been working on this since the day USC left. I heard next to nothing from our empty suit commission on this topic during that timeframe. Did he even try? The ACC and the Pac-12 were battling it out to see which is the worst run conference. Looks like the ACC won (or lost) the war of attrition. But the writing is on the wall. Sad.

The B1G somehow thought it needed to "wait" until other Pac-12 schools

It gets worse than that. The B1G is going to underpay them because they can

So that "merger" is going to tell ESPN

The late EST games aren't for us. They are content for ESPN and advertising

No need doing anything about ND. We have a deal with them. IIWII.

That "goal" never had a chance

ND's new deal is the key. Their current deal has an ACC level $ payout

The two positions aren't mutually exclusive.
Maroon Baboon • 08/04/23 12:02 PM ET
It was easy for ND to agree to that

Really think the ACC leadership was "whistling past the graveyard" when...

The ACC acted desperate. And that's what I hated about it.

TerryD • 08/04/23 02:11 PM ET
The one good thing we got out of that was 5 games per year with ND
EDGEMAN • 08/04/23 01:17 PM ET
ND wanted three

Don’t laugh, I saw a leprechaun in the ag area of the campus

I agree, it might be too late
