A PAC ("own the coasts") merger was a scenario 20 months ago before it was

picked-apart...Even then, probably a long-shot to get that many (ACC+Pac) universities on-board and willing to commit long-term and could have unlocked the GOR gate(?). My current half-baked(?) scenario is for the Mag 8 to block-negotiate with the SEC (or B1G, but I think we have more value to the sec). We view this from our eyes vs the "buyer", but shouldn't if you're the seller... Both value teams within the ACC, but guessing there's an intangible component for the SEC to value more. The closer we get to 2030 (assuming no media bankruptcies), any thoughts of group negotiation dissolve as it's "every man/woman for himself" as GOR subsides year-by-year. Who knows..not I...I really like the ACC, the regionaility, the schools (most of 'em)
