at this time but it would be very costly. It would be a long term investment but any ACC school leaving within the next 10 years will have financial struggles paying off the exit fee and GOR TV rights. I don't see UNC leaving any time soon. I can't see ESPN allowing that to happen, giving UNC to Fox Sports. ACC men's basketball still bring ratings for ESPN during the non-football season. I could only see UNC heading to the SEC at this time, but ESPN also has the ACCN. Maybe 10 years up the road UNC decides to join the Big 10. Like you said, FSU has no place to go. The SEC isn't calling them. Florida doesn't want them in the SEC. Maybe the Big Ten but those guys know the ACC would own all those FSU home games until 2036 so that won't help the BTN now. A lot can happen between now and 2036. For all those conference realignment experts, why doesn't the D-1 schools (P-5, G-5 and FCS) simply place a spending cap on how much a NCAA D-1 schools can spend on their football programs per season to avoid the P-2 schools from dominating and having a monopoly in college football? I'd go further and place restrictions on how much any D-1 school can spend on any sport. Any excess money from their TV deals would go to non-athletic scholarships since that's suppose to be the mission of colleges and universities. To educate, not to see how much money they can make playing football (AKA foosball LOL) and tuurning college athletics into a professional league. ** Edited by Old Line Hokie at 8/27/2023, 11:33:40 AM
