Can you not read?
I'm guessing you can't, or you can, but don't understand what the words in my posts mean. I also understand that you understand how to use Google to look up what the ACC and Big 12 are paying their teams pro rata for media rights today, and I assure you that I'm amazed at your ability to type a query into Google and regurgitate what you saw on CBS Sports. Those are big boy investigative reporter skills, and I'm impressed.
You must also have some kind of amazing crystal ball that tells you the future, because you must have stared into it and figured out what the Big 12's next media rights contract is going to pay, and what the ACC's contract will pay when multiple high-value ACC teams leave the conference in 2030, multiple of which are literally telegraphing right now that in the press that they are planning to do. You should just use that crystal ball to make yourself some money, and stop writing spec articles for random no-audience ACC blogs.
You say my "dead weight" argument is getting old, but, your argument that the ACC is going to raid the Big 12 rings pretty hollow, because you can't explain to anyone why any entity with the resources to orchestrate extracting brand value from the Big 12 would arrange things so those value brands could play Wake Forest, Boston College, Duke, and SMU. So, that's just a really weird prediction for someone who has a magical crystal ball.
