Please tell me if I am way off or if there is something that would prevent
this, but here is an idea. ACC tells ESPN we want a new deal in the ballpark of SEC & BIG (not same but competitive) or...
We gather remnants of the PAC, B12 and ACC and create a really big national league. By adding/subtracting teams, it is possible to get out of the ESPN contract all together (to my understanding) and then you market yourself to someone with lots of $$$, like Amazon or Apple who want to get into the sports world, as a national league (all time zones and markets) and the streamers can have games all day long on multiple days with so many teams and time zones. I would think they might be willing to pony up SEC and BIG money to get into the game and have a lot of inventory to do so. Is this impossible to do or just requires too much imagination and organization that the ACC has shown no ability to do? Thanks

It's the right plan but won't work until the early 2030s**

I'd bet ESPN has to sign off on any expansion or outside TV agreements.**

But how does the ACC go about "maximizing the value of the brands it has."?
