ESPN will pay less in a new ACC contract.

If you read other trusted journalists this info is available from numerous first hand sources. Not sure how many times I have to post everything, including what I type, is speculation. If 2 teams, especially the Tier 1 members Clemson and FSU, leave the ACC then ESPN has the option to immediately renegotiate its ACC contract and avsolutely will for far less money moving forward. Even for 2024. Regardless of when they leave, the ACC payout is going to get significantly reduced. Calford and SMU only compounds the lesser value. Thought that would be common knowledge. I'm actually a Knoxville Vol if that matters.

If the Mag 7 form a conference, who is the 8th? Do they go bigger?

I would go with 8 and possibly look at Duke with their basketball history. **

FSU fight w/ ESPN is 1 reason why I think they are trying to get to Fox/B1G**

Yup; a lot of this is about the political battle with the mouse, imo.
