Big media is using the XII and paying them a premium at this time. IMHO that premium is because: 1- They know it will take years to get the ACC GOR straightened out and get the 3-4 teams they really want. 2- The PAC totally fooled them by taking the poison pill. That left big media scrambling because there were teams in the PAC that did not go to the Big but that big media has some future place for. So they parked the 4 corners in the XII just like they parked Calford in the ACC. 3- Another reason for the premium is big media has no investment in a network in the XII 4- After the big media/P2 have all they want, I believe big media has a general idea of what a level between G5 and P2 will look like. IMHO that will be a place better than G5 to be training area for future P2 coaches and transfer portal players. But that setup will not have enough $$$ to be as far flung as the XII is without the 4 corners included. 5- There is a good possibility that big media will not invest a dime in producing and mid level or G5 games. They will actually produce P2 content only. It will be up to either individual schools or conferences to produce content from which big media picks which games they want and pays the price to get that game or several games streamed to big media headquarters where their on camera team watches and comments on what is streamed in and then streamed out. Think about it. The above way big media never has to pay for a BC/Cuse type game. They pick from the menu that the mid level and occasionally G5 has for "sale" that week and take the most attractive.
