If a shorter-term deal was signed the ACC would be dead or near extinction as we know it today. I think FSU and Clemson are too big of draws to not be scooped up. B1G would gladly take them if SEC turned up their nose. UNC and some others may would have found homes if it played out differently but they actually like the ACC. The money is bad? As has been reported many places, if ACC went to market it wouldn't get a much better deal. The issue comes many years down the line but the length of the contract is what is holding it together. Many things will change between now the last quarter of the current deal. Just got to hold the line and don't make kneejerk decisions.
