…which is not to be second or third tier dealing with scraps & leftovers from a big 10 that has *****d itself with multiple networks… … people see what the big 10 really is and the reaction to the ESPN southern conference grabbing tx and Oklahoma and then the big 10 creating this magical faux fantasy land alliance distracting some & comforting others all the while working the back channels to grab their own cross country conference pick offs… don’t think Amazon didn’t see the same thing and I am not thinking Amazon plays second fiddle to anybody… … I would build and create a power three contender …it would no longer be p2… … I’d let the ACC collectively build their new beyond the ACC conference and I would contribute major big bucks As it develops with guarantees for Amazon…so that the newly created conference would be able to compete head to head from a NIL perspective with the other two greedy conferences down south and up north… … if I’m Amazon I feel a lot safer hanging with ESPN then I do with the hodgepodge putting money into the B1g … ESPN has been bumped from the B1g and they don’t like it …Amazon could be the perfect partner with ESPN to build the beyond the ACC conference into a mega conference that matters… With all of this said let’s just hope that it’s not only schools like Carolina and the tobacco road boys and the illegal statues school in Charlottesville and the crooks from the canes that are working these potential angles and that instead Virginia Tech is front and center because history has proven the Tar Heels could give a rats ass about Virginia tech and recent changes suggest the same for the caniacs… … Amazon has already contributed substantially to at least one ACC member which would happen to be tech… Let’s hope that we’ve got strong leader ship at Tech pushing this or some variation of this angle and not just waiting to see what develops and frankly it wouldn’t hurt to be bringing in our legislators also… … instead of watching the miss named P2 to try to set new standards the real leaders become disruptors and take what others thought they were doing and turn it upside down on them… Then if this new P3 conference wants to use the b1g hodgepodge approach…there is also a small evolving media company with lots of money…lots of cash…a little company called apple. The smart ones in the ACC of today are working this stuff back channel and they’re not telling anyone…yet.
