I don't disagree with anything you said there. We're all speculating. And

I think ESPN would love to continue the deal with The ACC, but only if the roster is intact. FSU is leaving (that's speculation, barely) but when? Who else goes? FSU and Clemson contribute a disproportionate volume of viewership. Now we have to weigh UNC. ESPN will consider that. I have said all along I think ESPN likes their cozy ACC contract. But if the biggest players leave, ESPN will reconfigure their relationship into whatever setup delivers the most return. That might not be a continuation of the current deal. Maybe the inclusion of TX and CA will be enough. We'll see.

Interesting new FSU argument in their court case
HokieAl • 05/22/24 09:23 PM ET
Does the GOR actually say that only rights needed to effect the ESPN deal..

If that option actually exists, I'd be shocked if ESPN doesn't exercise it
SMU Pony • 05/23/24 09:22 PM ET
The ACC Network was the reason schools signed the GOR for that length.

No offense, Pony, but it seems as though you don't like the "unilateral"
