As discussed in the Key Tweets hell in a handbasket thread, the ACC and ESPN are close to an agreement.  All I care about is, will this affect UConn?

Divide the ACC into 3 tiers.
Tier 1 FSU and Clemson, maybe UNC, Miami.  They may be somewhat appeased because they'll be able to break free in a few years paying lower penalties.  But they are still in a tty revenue situation for 5 years making much less than the P2.
Tier 2 Middle of the pack - I don't see how they are happy at all.  They are expected to give up revenue to Tier 1 while they believe they are just as valuable.  Then the best programs will leave anyway.  I don't think so.
Tier 3 cuse, wake, bcu, louisville, etc. - They may be somewhat happy because they are safely in a conference and happy to make whatever they can, knowing it will eventually be downgraded.  Inevitability.
It's just a collection of programs all with different agendas.

The Big 12 at 16 members may still be interested in UConn and the Northeast.  The Big 12 may make a move if the ACC-espn agreement goes through knowing those acc programs are off the table.
