Unless you reveal your "sources", it's all BS to me.
Can those three schools afford to lose over half a billion dollars? Does the SEC and B1G want to add 2 schools that are already in SEC states? Does the SEC and B1G want to add schools that they won't have the TV rights to all their home games until 2036? Clemson isn't as wealthy as some people think. Would UNC really leave their beloved ACC? UNC always votes against expansion, It's in their DNA. Their catbird seat seems to get lower with every conference expansion. FSU has always complained. They didn't like the expansion in 2012. They always think very highly of themselves but are one of the reasons (terrible football in the late 2010's and early 2020's) the ACC is in predicament it is in now.
Let's say FSU and Clemson and even UNC do leave in 5 years, that's more money for the remaining ACC schools for 7 more years. Who knows what will happen between now and 2036.

Yes and then the 3rd will be edged out by the Big 10 and SEC.

I guess that's why you earned $136 million less than the ACC last year.

That's because the B12 had only 10 schools. Per school it was higher.**
