well tech nothing happened but FSU publicly saying theyre unhappy. its all just based off a few posters wordsThat's the best way to be. people on this board love giving themselves a stroke over something that has yet to happen.
We shall see...Stanford is one of if not the best overall athletic program in the country. They win a lot in a lot of sports. A little disingenuous to put them on the same level as an Ivy in terms of their commitment.
Merit-based???? Lol we haven’t done anythingIf they were smart, which they aren't, they'd make sure that Miami, FSU, Clemp'sSon, and UNC start getting SEC/B10 money and just make it merit based - what a noble concept!! Instead of money sucks like Wake Forest getting an equal share just because "that's always the way we've done it," create a rubric that is a composite of media revenue and pay the biggest earners what they're worth.
The ACC botched the last media rights negotiation, but if it wants to remain alive and relevant, that would be the way to do it - incentivize the marquee teams.
I'm certain they haven't even thought of this, but they should give those top 4 teams similar revenue to what they'd be making in one of those big two conferences, then hope that similar money plus an easier path to the playoffs is enough to keep their teams in place.
luckily it's not backward looking. And merit-based would also include actual ratings. You can say "oh we only had 5 wins" but if our games are drawing more interest, then we merit more money.Merit-based???? Lol we haven’t done anything
I get that aspect of it. That’s brand recognition-based. Merit based implies we’ve actually earned it doing something meritorious like winning titles lately. We haven’t. We’ve never won the ACC. We’re living off the brand from 20 something years ago.luckily it's not backward looking. And merit-based would also include actual ratings.

Is anyone arguing? They’re known for it obviously. LolFounder of Top Golf is SMU alum.
They have an OBSCENE amount of TX and CA $$$$$$$$$$
Nah their gambling deal is trash. It's just rebranding the ****** barstool sportsbook.Those two going to the B1G and leaving us behind with no spot anywhere else is the nightmare scenario I do not want to think about.
Maybe this ESPN gambling deal is getting money for SEC to expand? We can hope.
Little is the key word. FSU/Clemson pay $80M a yr combined (for 10 yrs) and its split by 12 = $6.67M a yr extra = we ****ed.Question is who is left? If ACC remains without FSU and Clemson and the GOR stays in place, I wonder if every school just gets a nice little raise?
TV Pays money to conference to show the games -> Miamis games get viewed more, which makes more money for TV companies -> Miami gets larger percentage...That would be definition of merit based. We would be getting rewarded for our outsized impact on generating ad revenue for the TV broadcaster. There is the merit of generating money, and the merit of on field success. The on-field success based pay can be in the form of keeping your bowl revenuene and stuff like that - which seems to be exactly what the ACC chose to do in their unequal pay model.I get that aspect of it. tThats brand recognition-based.

Agree it’s not moving the needle if that’s the way it goes.Little is the key word. FSU/Clemson pay $80M a yr combined (for 10 yrs) and its split by 12 = $6.67M a yr extra = we ****ed.
Not necessarily. But to get new members the ACC needs 75% (I think?) of the schools to approve them. Which means the ACC will need to concede something to the schools. I imagine the schools will ask for some concessions on the GOR.Alright. I try to keep with all this realignment bull**** but if ACC GOR changes any, doesn’t that give everyone an out?? New members means new GOR.
