I believe ESPN had an exclusive negotiation window

The ACC is suing FSU

Like @TheOriginalCane said, Miami needs to join this lawsuit ASAP

The only Big 12 Teams on the list are Colorado - the Prime effect, and Utah. Texas and Oklahoma are on the list but they're SEC now, and Oklahoma is ranked behind Miami, Duke, and Utah. There are 5 ACC schools on the list: FSU Clemson Miami Duke Louisville

The death of the cable bundle won't affect just ESPN. The B10 might have spread their risk across three networks, but each of them will be hit hard. Unless these media companies figure out another revenue stream to replace the cable bundle (it won't be delivering the cable bundle over streaming...

My understanding is the way the deal is written, ESPN is paying full shares for Stanford, Cal and SMU. Stanford and Cal have to pay back 70% of their shares to the ACC the first year, then a little less every subsequent year for the first 9 years. Then in year 10, they pay back nothing. SMU gets...

The opinion piece goes off the rails once you get to the Option 3 section. There's no way the Big Ten is taking Boston College and Syracuse.

I agree. Challenge is any school that would make sense to add from a revenue standpoint is either already making more money in their conference, staying independent, or has better geographic options.

The Pac-12 schools were always going to choose the Big 12 over the ACC. Even though the ACC could hypothetically offer more money and a shorter grant of rights, the Big-12 is geographically closer which means lower travel costs that more than offset any extra money the ACC can offer. Plus...

Part of the reason Disney is considering offloading their broadcast properties is because while ESPN is still profitable, Disney+, like almost every other streamer, isn't, and is hemorrhaging money. That, combined with dwindling theme park attendance numbers and the billion-dollar losses from...

Anyone leaving the ACC right now for the Mid-12 would be taking a pay cut. Plus, none of those schools would be better positioned to compete on the same level with the SEC and Big Ten.

YouTube TV has yet to turn a profit for Google. Eventually they're going to care about that, especially when the TV stations push this through and make YTTV and all the other vMVPD's get treated like cable companies. LINK
