Message: [QUOTE="Zissou, post: 4833056, member: 7920"] The GOR brings value and security to the ACC to make a media deal. It’s reasonable that a long term deal has an option, in this case ESPN’s option. That option will be exercised one year from now. The GOR is far from valueless. It underwrites the value of ESPN exercising its option. Should ESPN end the deal buy not exercising the option in early 2025, the the GOR is still very valuable as the ACC negotiates an alternative contract for beyond 2027. Fox, for example, could sign a 3 year deal with the ACC through 2030. Or a deal through 2036. It might value a deal through 2040 with much more risk as the GOR runs out in 2036. [/QUOTE]
