I mean, if FSU and Clemson leave and have to pay a buyout, that's more money in Miami's pocket. If they leave and end up not paying a buyout, that's an easier exit for us next. If FSU and Clemson leave then the only prizes left are us, UNC, and Notre Dame. There's leverage for us in whatever...

And they're all meeting to set up the structure of the 12-team playoff, auto-bid guarantees will be negotiating chips.

my theory is getting stronger!

It's not the schools it's the time slot. ESPN has the chance to have Miami, FSU, Clemson, +whatever other random ACC team is ranked at the time, play by themselves in a 10pm eastern window. Was anyone watching 10p Oregon/Stanford outside of California or Oregon before? Probably not. USC/Cal...

Right... this is part of how they got UNC (and maybe ncst) to cross back over to the yes side in theory. No chance fsu or Clemson are coming over.

I think these additions are good for Miami in the long run and here's why: the ACC is planning for the exit of at least the big 3 (Miami, FSU, Clemson). Why would the ACC randomly add three teams? Because they know three teams are gone. While school presidents usually aren't that impressive...

He gets it

It won't. Perry Sook and the rest of the Nexstar suits are idiots and think the way around cord cutting is to keep increasing their retransmission fees. Good on DirecTV for refusing to pay.

Nexstar also owns CW which carries ACC games this year, and Nexstar just sued DirecTV for copyright so there is not an end in sight to this.

They just want to add Stanford as one of their ACC must plays to open up another spot for a potential B10 scheduling partnership game for more NBC money.

SMU willing to give up conference $ distributions for 5 years to join the ACC

Let's see how this turns out now

Oregon State and Fresno State played a great game last year, I'm excited for their Mountain West rivalry

It would be litigation that ends up in some deal where Greg Olsen and the rights to cricket in India get swapped for the remaining ACC inventory of those schools.

This is the other contention, the B1G wanted and needed the LA market because Fox told them that's how to get more from their next media rights deal. When teams get outwardly thirsty then the league knows they can do a cut-rate deal because those schools need the conference more than the...

Fox movie studios were sold to Disney, Fox Television is still it's own entity News Corp
