The composition clause is still in the ACC contract because it

is a necessary feature of any media rights contract. You are claiming that it may have been removed or replaced with the periodic lookin clause that really has nothing to do with the conference’s composition. You are just wildly speculating about things that make little sense and throwing insults along the way. I will agree with you that your recent postings do speak for themselves. I would love to see a link about how the lookin clause in the ACC contract replaced the composition clause, but I doubt one will be provided. We know that the original ACC contract had a composition clause and that it was used when Pitt & Syracuse joined the ACC to renegotiate the amount and extend the contract. We know that this contract was again renegotiated to include the ACCN and extend the contract again to 2036. So why would the “composition clause” be removed - did ESPN & the ACC think that the 14-1/2 members were set in stone for eternity and would never change? Really? Should the conference be paid the same amount regardless of how many schools are members? Really? Without FSU & Clemson in the ACC is the media rights value the same to ESPN? Really?

This is probably FSU & Clemson’s game plan for leaving the ACC
WBGV • 08/15/23 02:00 PM ET
They could play the Dallas Cowboys in Doak and the ACC would own that game.**

Too many fantasies

Not a lawyer, so take this with that grain of salt they always talk about..

No acc school is voting to dissolve to go to the big 12. That's laughable
SpeakToDamien • 08/15/23 04:34 PM ET
If schools start leaving, the ACC members will dissolve the conference.
WBGV • 08/15/23 05:30 PM ET
PAC12 TV contract expires and ACC still have 13 years of GOR, huge
icelus • 08/15/23 10:59 PM ET
No. If 4 leave, the remaining 10 aren't dissolving

If ESPN sold the ACC contract to say, the CW, FSU would have a case, IMO.**

ESPN will eventually have to transition to a streaming service.

ESPN is spending now to lock in content for later.

I hope there comes a day when customers can pick and choose what they want

Frankly ESPN isn't spending that much money on the ACCN
