I do wonder

If it meant ESPN could enrich the ACC's programming, as well as keep Cal/Stanford/Oregon/Washington away from from the B1G/Fox, would the mouse willingly shave a few years off the ACC GOR to entice those schools? Not a LOT of years, but maybe scale it back from 2036 to 2032 (or maybe add a look-in somewhere in there)? An addition of that magnitude would at least call for some sort of tweak/renegotiation. Plus, an annual UW/Miami series would greatly amuse me. I'm not sure if there are any other FBS schools with more geographical distance between them than those two.

Ha ha! "Kick FSU out and add Colorado."
Old Line Hokie • 03/02/23 02:57 PM ET
I don't think the ACC or PAC can grow themselves out of this mess.
Big12 guy • 03/02/23 11:47 AM ET
The ACC's biggest problem is the number of small private schools that...

The privates are tough, but they deserve a seat at the table

USC-w/UCLA 2 Rutgers & Maryland is similar in distance. $ is in new states

LOL. True about UM/UW, But Alaska Airlines flies Direct Cheap.

True & on the B1G side, directs from LA to NYC and DC.**

LINK. I have it cued to start at the FSU-ACC-PAC part.

Ha ha Maroon, some used to call me Charley Wiles. **
Stech • 03/02/23 09:18 AM ET
SMU might be the move if we follow Skipper's advice.
Maroon Baboon • 03/02/23 01:43 AM ET
SMU could very well be one.
HOO86 • 03/02/23 08:12 AM ET
Where is the $ for ESPN, states they don't have, but Fox does have. What
Stech • 03/02/23 09:40 AM ET
The other thing is the Rose Bowl.

Interesting information and it looks BC and UCONN's administrations have

Skipper is on an errand to show The ACC how they can help themselves.
33laszlo99 • 03/02/23 04:51 PM ET
It's folly to think you will get a BIG/SEC contract**
Big12 guy • 03/02/23 12:04 PM ET
I didn't take it as belittling FSU, but they are trapped & trying to help
Stech • 03/02/23 09:16 AM ET
Stech, ESPN is not your friend.
