The ACC TV contract is drastically under valued. We would certainly increase that contract if we were able to renegotiate. I'd gladly send FSU packing if if we could pick up UCF or Houston and renegotiate our TV contract before 2035.
InterestingYou don't get market rate though. That's the thing. Even if we were to add Notre Dame, Bama, and Ohio State, the contract would still be undervalued because ESPN would just give you what the value is for those teams' home games and then you have to divide it by 18 or 20 or wherever. So you'd get market rate for 3 teams and then still way under market for 17 teams.
Sounds like my idea is horrible.So trade FSU and Clemson for FAU and Coastal Carolina in an effort to make more money?

i actually was just down myrtle and decided to check out Coastal's campus. pretty nice. the stadium is ok, tiny in comparison. they are in process of building an indoor practice facility next to the stadium..So trade FSU and Clemson for FAU and Coastal Carolina in an effort to make more money?

but yes, your point is valid. losing fsu would be pretty bad for the acc.
That's why it appears the BIG and the SEC don't want them.The ACC TV contract is drastically under valued. We would certainly increase that contract if we were able to renegotiate. I'd gladly send FSU packing if if we could pick up UCF or Houston and renegotiate our TV contract before 2035.
worse places to spend a 4 day mini vacation than myrtle in september.If we insist on playing home and homes with G5's, Coastal Carolina would be at the top of my list. Could easily do a mini-vacay in Myrtle.
I don’t think there are any schools that are additive. It’s a really big conference right now; I think we end up seeing Florida State and Clemson leave, and the ACC adding two schools to fill their spots.Nobody it appears wants FSU ( true a year ago also BTW) and SEC at least doesn’t want Clemson
ACC would be smart to continue expanding.
I don't know, I've heard that the B1G and SEC don't think they're worth that much so it's possible that the the replacement could be of equal value. I hear the Big12 schools are worth nearly as much as the SEC so go get one of them and boom, more money.You serious? No one out there would replace the value of what we’d lose with fsu.
if fsu leaves, i am sure espn will want to re-negotiate the tv deal since it's value will be greatly decreased
To be honest, I think it depends on any long term strategy. If ESPN thinks the market is valuable enough to save, they play musical chairs with their other products and prop up the remaining schools. If it's true that the contract is grossly undervalued, it makes some sense in order to protect the investment and hold things together. Possible that it would be the break point where there are schools dropped from the P2 for the fabled "super conference" so you take the schools that aren't worthy of those big revenues and pile them into the ACC. It's anyone's guess right now. Somewhere, deep in the algorithm's we'll never see, but the Big12 fan boys completely understand, lies the answer.Yeah, I'd love to know what newfound leverage he thinks the ACC will have discovered if one of its top two brands leaves. Especially because UNC and Clemson likely wouldn't be far behind if FSU finds an out.
It's like getting cut from your coed PSL team and then planning your next move to be trying out for the Boston Celtics.
You are crazy if you believe that. The SEC and B1G would absolutely take either of those schools in a heartbeat if they get out of the GOR and lawsuits. Either conference would take those schools if for no other reason than to prevent the other conference from taking them.Nobody it appears wants FSU ( true a year ago also BTW) and SEC at least doesn’t want Clemson

Yes. Not sure anyone anticipated that FSU would go off the rails but I'm assuming everything is on the table at this point.Couldn't they do that right now, though? Like before FSU leaves. And then they could have the best of both worlds if that's what they're interested in (preserving the ACC).
No....I think this would actually be a windfall. We could effectively throw out the old contract and negotiate with other vendors. You have to think that owuld generate a much larger TV contract.
Yep, I actually did that a couple years ago, my nephew got married the last week of September.worse places to spend a 4 day mini vacation than myrtle in september
