Summary:
- The ACC-Pac-12 merger/alliance/partnership isn’t expected to bring in enough additional money to make it worth pursuing. Numbers should be in next week.
- The ACC’s Grant of Rights is holding up and, contrary to other reports, no one is attempting to challenge it (yet). Thamel suggests ditching Pac-12 deal and outright expanding west with Cal, Oregon, Stanford, and Washington.
- Notre Dame is staying put for now, but Big Ten revenue might cause a change in the coming years. The B1G has settled down on expansion and is expected to stop for now. If they do eventually leave for the Big Ten, Stanford is their preferred partner.
- The rumored four corner schools are putting invites to the Big 12 on hold until they hear the expected revenues from an ACC-Pac-12 deal.
