5 million per year might be chump change 10 years from now, let alone 15 years... some ACC guy must have negotiated that contract, locking them in for 15 years.

Agreed; should’ve been 10 yrs. However, getting an additional $5m for naming rights ain’t a bad thing. That’s the power of owning or having managing power of a stadium; companies r always looking for exposure, & will pay millions for it.

If the going rate only cost Monster 20 million for the naming rights to a major conference, I think I could get the naming rights to the Sunbelt Conference for $25 and a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos.

When you need crazy solved, call 1-800-MUP-PETT.

I'm kicking in $15 for a naming rider.
 
I didn’t watch the show or see clips but there’s some posts about Finebaum mentioning us and SMU to the SEC?

I’m sure it’s just some smoke and mirrors from him but anyone catch it live?

**** might really be getting ready to go down. With or without the legislation passing, depending upon what it does or doesn’t say.

Yes indeed:




A small breakdown of Flugaur’s PATC:

Cruz and Cantwell are lighting a match and may cause the SEC to depart and go on their own. They will cause everything to happen that they were trying to avoid if the bill gets approved. It “could” cause the B1G to do the same thing. The “quick strike” realignment he has talked about in recent YouTube’s could happen as well.

There are roughly 10 weeks or so for the P2 / target schools to sign formal agreements in order to have documents in place on realignment moves before final presidential approval of the new Protect College Sports Act (would be expected in late September or early October).

-"reports" are stating that the required 60 senate votes are there ... pending some final adjustments to "details".
- then it goes to the House for their review / approval.
- then it goes to the president for his signature ... and rules go into effect immediately.

If the bill is passed and does include prohibition of future P2 expansion then the only way we get out is to sign formal contractual agreements with the B10 / SEC prior to the presidential approval date. Does Joe have paperwork on his desk from the B10 "just in case"?

Since the "notify date" is June 1 for advising that a school plans to leave, and that date has already passed, if Miami notified they were leaving, the effective date for leaving would be June 1, 2028. Main issue ... is getting ALL contracts signed prior to the new law being executed and going into effect by the president.

Come on now... he has hats from all 4 conferences on the table, the commitment graphics ready and the hype videos shot.

Even if it gets approved without realignment happening there would be lawsuits galore and they would lose. I believe this whole bill is unconstitutional from what I have heard. It is against law to prevent any team from being associated with whatever conference they want to be associated with. We need Original and others to chime in on that.

Regardless of that, I don’t expect the SEC and the B1G to sit on their hands and do nothing. Neither prefer to expand now according to Flugaur, but will do so if they are forced to.
 
It might just be a leak trying to posture to get things moved around and come to nothing to be clear. Because this would be truly shocking if it actually happened.

But If if if if the SEC and Big 10 are now pivoting again and truly negotiating with Congress to agree to this in order to get the rest of the protect college sports act done then everything once again changes despite other things being true very recently, Miami and others will forever be stuck tens of millions behind the other conferences in the ACC and we will have to pray for billionaires to close the gap forever.

Big Ten would still have room to maybe get Notre Dame and the SEC could poach three ACC brands of their choosing

Let’s hope it’s not true because just in the next three years, the gap alone is $50-$60 million in the media side let alone the next contract and permanent purgatory.
