If ESPN truly wants the West Coast they have a play

Don't know if Jim Phillips would go for it, but Disney/ESPN could make it worth the ACC's while to take some from the PAC12 to satisfy ESPN's need for the West Coast as well as increase the ACC payout and satisfy the new additions from the West Coast too. I don't necessarily care for that travel scenario for the ACC, but if the money is there it could be done. I'm sure some of the top academic folks in the ACC would love to bring Stanford/Cal Berkeley into the fold, and those two would probably feel the same. I don't know the right number 2, 4, etc.

What gain do any academic folks get from
Pylons • 02/15/23 10:08 AM ET
They want their contribution to the ACC Academic Consortium
HOO86 • 02/15/23 12:13 PM ET
I suppose there are minor Academic Consortium benefits,
Pylons • 02/15/23 12:21 PM ET
The conference facilitates regular communcation

I've worked in academia for many years
Pylons • 02/15/23 01:58 PM ET
IMO, the right number is 0.**
Atlee Hokie • 02/14/23 08:33 PM ET
yup...and that play has been there for awhile as well
daveinop • 02/14/23 07:47 PM ET
That's what I am thinking is developing.
HOO86 • 02/14/23 08:13 PM ET
On Colorado. I think of the possible impact of Deion Sanders.

Would be a good get if ACC/ESPN could grab
hoodat • 02/15/23 06:12 AM ET
On taking Pac-10 teams. I would love it.

Couple thoughts

I wonder about streaming and live sports...
mancunian • 02/13/23 12:49 PM ET
I agree with that. Media want us all to buy-in because it's easier/
33laszlo99 • 02/13/23 02:36 PM ET
Yesterday I flipped between Indiana/Purdue, Celtics/Grizzlies
mancunian • 02/13/23 03:02 PM ET
Streaming services could make the experience better.
tarheelblue • 02/13/23 03:51 PM ET
I prefer the way it is now with Comcast.
Atlee Hokie • 02/14/23 08:50 PM ET
I guess that's down the road when you have
mancunian • 02/14/23 09:48 AM ET
But will other P12 teams be poached during that game of chicken?
EDGEMAN • 02/13/23 06:49 AM ET
It's a desperate situation. I think they need to take risks.**
33laszlo99 • 02/13/23 07:25 AM ET
They might be successful if they can hold their coalition together long...
EDGEMAN • 02/13/23 09:37 AM ET
Once UCLA and USC sign on with the B1G and BTN, it is a point of no return
