I said this long ago. I was relentlessly attacked. I have lit a candle for you.

Handling one lawsuit is a different deal than 6 or so. Paper alone gets crazy.

Interesting. Rutgers isn’t in the B10 based upon record at all. Market. I would think Miami should sell the B10 the market in all that means for the other schools and the. eyeballs on TV screens when we are moderately good. Just seems like the B10 is a better sell. But just thinking.

I agree with you. But this argument is not well received. Each conference has bad football schools. Vandy. Kentucky. Maryland. Etc. B12 will make more than the ACC. America apparently is dying for UCF ball. I think it would be stupid for ESPN to let its product die. ESPN didn’t used to have...

Disagree. The ACC brand is far superior to the Big East then. ESPN’s view of value has to be a long game. We are only at a crap number because we negotiate long ago and for two long. ESPN doesn’t want the ACC to implode and go BIG10. That would be way short sighted on the future value of CFB.

Pitaro is JAG.

Lol. California v Connecticut. Hmm. I am amazed that you don’t see the play here. Raise the contract price or this blows up in litigation for years. If they balk, it should be blown up. Hardball. What do you do for a living? You write a lot. But you aren’t saying much. Serious question.

Hardball means worse things will happen. Implode. Is a hardball word. ESPN from wussy Connecticut does not want 4 teams bolting and suing to get out. That is uber bad business. The ACC should be “you gonna help fix this or not?” Bad contracts get renegotiated all the time.

ACC needs to play hardball with ESPN. We are going to implode if you don’t renegotiate our deal. If you really just want two super leagues, we can speed that up. If not, let us get some real numbers together.

No. Contracts aren’t about fairness. ACC cut a bad deal. They need to beg ESPN to renegotiate by arguing they are gonna lose their best brands to the B10 and Fox if they don’t. ESPN doesn’t need to do jack.

AAU list is very pedestrian. We trying to be U of Buffalo? Stony Brook? I went to BU law. I just learned that it is an AAU. Great for researchers. This is about big time super football conferences. AAU status will mean zippo. Dear Fox Sports, we were going with The U. We know it is TV...

Is there a creative way around the grant of MEDIA rights. Maybe pay Miami a signing bonus of say x dollars and then not pay media rights?
