That’s 1 way to break up the Conference, but big *TV $ wants more stability
and continuity of scheduling before they are going to put out the bigger bucks. The ACC as we know it is on life support, because schools are going to take $100M-$140M in another Conference, instead of $50M in the ACC. If the blue bloods of the B1G turn down this amount of money, they will likely form something with the blue bloods of the SEC and a handful of ACC and B12 schools for even more money. I don’t like it, but there really isn’t a realistic alternative to get them even more money. When Nick Saban said 32 (same as the NFL 🤔) on Gameday at the top, seems he knew something IMHO. However, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, let’s see if they turn it down, maybe they are just trying to get more money at the top of the conference for more eyeballs. Ratings over Rankings, Unprofessional Wrestling may be taking over more of College Football, too bad!! 🤮

B1G blue bloods might vote down $135M lump sum, could P1 give them more?
