Proposal: for football only, two sub-conferences with promotion/relegation though 2032. Bottom conference receives a slightly lower payout than today. Top conference gets an increased payout from ESPN. Motivations ESPN - keep ACC intact. None of its properties go to B1G and don’t have to pay SEC money to any school that would land there. Much better tv matchups with different aspects of intrigue. ACC - stop legal fees; have court-free conference for another 8 years. Provides a large window to find a way to survive in longterm while the new landscape sorts itself out. Top half arguably toughest top-to-bottom in nation some years. FSU/Clemson: increased payout, no settlement, stop legal fees, get out 4 years early if they choose to leave. Recruiting helped by being in a better league.
