Phillips noted that the ACC is in a power position for three reasons:

its revenue is expected to far outpace that of the Pac-12 or Big 12 once USC, UCLA, Texas and Oklahoma (which are slated to move to the SEC in 2025) move to their new conferences; it operates its own network in partnership with ESPN; and the grant of rights binds its members together for the foreseeable future. This gives me hope for getting WVU and Cincinnati to make the move to the ACC. That and ESPN doesn't have Ohio and though West Virginia is a smaller population state, it has a lot of alums in the DMV, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Not to mention all of the natural rivalries they will have in the ACC. They will help fill many of their away games because like VT they travel. ** Edited by Stech at 9/23/2022, 11:50:44 PM

Did that mean he might want to dump some of the ACC schools?
Truthahn • 09/25/22 05:34 PM ET
Sounds possible
MrFantastic! • 09/25/22 06:03 PM ET
I think the more likely path would be succession not merger

How would you coordinate the tv negotiations for something like that given
BAMRising • 09/24/22 10:17 AM ET
Start a company designed to do this.
33laszlo99 • 09/25/22 07:21 PM ET
no doubt it would be complex and staged over a period of time
Vippie1 • 09/24/22 10:26 AM ET
So basically a national TV contract serving as an umbrella w 3 conferences
BAMRising • 09/24/22 10:39 AM ET

I think that's the 'drug deal"

Best option now would be to skip over those and get Baylor and OK State

"Let The Big Ten go?" ESPN's advertisers will disagree.**

We don’t know how much the delta is between what the PAC 12 and Big 12
Marooned • 09/27/22 08:25 PM ET
I've seen year to year payouts, ACC gets a big $ bump in 2024-5 I think.
Truthahn • 09/25/22 01:32 PM ET
If ACC lost both FSU and Miami would be neat to have UCF and USF
