I do not want to see the P2 get any stronger. I'd rather

the ACC stick together as they are, but all I see is the blame game, and pointing figures. There has to be a solution out there that is missing - ESPN should not have that much power over a conference, but especially in the post season. Maybe the wrong entity is being sued. Maybe a class action suit against ESPN for unfair trade practices and collusion. The recent steaming service sounds a lot like collusion, and not opening up the playoffs to bids, sounds like collusion. Maybe FSU and the ACC and B12 should team up and sue ESPN for monopolistic practices. They clearly favor the SEC over any other conference they are associated with. FOX could be sued by the PAC for predatory practices.

You mean what the ACC voted in May (Tallahassee Democrat 🔗)

Yes - and it wasn't nearly enough to keep the top teams from coveting
Big12 guy • 02/21/24 08:21 AM ET
The ACC doesn’t have enough large public schools to generate the numbers.
Stech • 02/21/24 09:06 AM ET
Untenable solution......

MrBayAreaHokie • 02/20/24 05:11 PM ET
So..., do you like watching all the other ACC teams "suffer" as well?**
133193Hokie • 02/20/24 05:47 PM ET
blame the victim much?
MrBayAreaHokie • 02/20/24 06:01 PM ET

All of that may be true, but how does that help the ACC get

Relegation and promotion will never happen in American college athletics
tarheelblue • 02/21/24 05:57 PM ET
And therein lies the problem. By definition, anti-competitive.
Maroon Baboon • 02/21/24 10:52 PM ET
We need a conference to step up to the plate, and embrace it. Maybe if this

We in the B12 were lucky in timing and geography, even I see that.

Your last paragraph......

posted this many times...let teams keep the OOC revenue**
daveinop • 02/20/24 03:39 PM ET
Whether FSU leaves, or not - it's a good idea. **
Big12 guy • 02/20/24 03:46 PM ET
Anything that brings more merit I would support.
Maroon Baboon • 02/20/24 03:36 PM ET
I think that ship has already sailed**

Uneven revenue divide has negative impacts....

Texas and OU were offered a 1.5x share by the Big12 and they still left**

The conference grabbed their collective ankles for Texas, I'll
Big12 guy • 02/20/24 01:55 PM ET
