I know this won't happen, but....
Just a note - none of this happens, but just playing message board what-if...
If Michigan and USC don't agree to the $2.4B investment and don't sign the new GOR, could Michigan and USC decide on the ACC? They could go independent in FB and put their other sports in the ACC, but if they put all sports, the ACC would be 19/20 teams. Does ND come full on board to the ACC and the ACC gets more $$$ for TV? They would be at 20, USC would have built-in traveling partners...maybe they get a few top Big XII schools and go 24.
The question is - how much $$$ would Michigan, USC, and ND football add to ACC TV deals? It won't happen, but how much value would that be?
