Message: [QUOTE="NE Football, post: 4700625, member: 7388"] It’s really difficult for the B1G and the SEC to expand without each team agreeing to take less revenue. Those teams are set to make 80-100 million per year in 5-6 years. Other than ND, they are committed to the ACC through 2036, no team commands 80 million dollars in TV money. The B1G and the SEC are not going to expand even if they only break even. They need to get substantial revenue increases per team to go to 20 teams, otherwise it’s not worth dealing with the complexities of scheduling in a team league. The ACC has a huge advantage over the Big 12, because they have their own Network. In 2026 the ACC revenue from ESPN goes up substantially, it’s not a flat rate amount per year for 20 years. The contract, like most contracts, is backloaded. The ACC will get a huge TV deal in 2036. They have 5 of the top 20 TV markets in the country. This is the best conference for us by far. [/QUOTE]
