The old contract was around $25M. The B12 actually

got a raise when they added BYU, Cincy, Houston, and UCF. No one was more surprised than me, but it is what it is. The 4 corners were added pro rata, and I'm very curious what their additions add to the media contract for the next round of negotiations. Also, keep an eye on Yormark, as he seems to be determined to separate the basketball rights. If he does that, no matter where the numbers land, the entire landscape will have a real understanding of where the basketball schools are in proportion to the football schools. It could be a game changer when adding other schools to the mix if the B12 does indeed expand.

Wouldn't UNC be gone? In this scenario**

Yes UNC is likely to leave.

You might be right. I just don't think they will be a "leader"

So, you think the B12 contract just expires then? I suppose

The ACC didn't need to raid the B12

I don't know, even by your math, they are about $5M behind the current
Big12 guy • 04/27/26 06:15 PM ET
$5 million?
RandomAsianGuy • 04/27/26 06:37 PM ET
With great respect, you still have the numbers

Yormark did well but that raise is basically an extension of old contract

Separating basketball rights will not be lucrative
SMU Pony • 04/27/26 09:06 PM ET
Agreed. It may or may not bring in more money, but

I don't think it's that simple

That is why VT is ramping up immediately with funding

If no one leaves the ACC, you're probably correct.
wwhokie1 • 04/28/26 02:08 PM ET
IMO VT has a chance. Perhaps a slim chance but we have a shot.
