I suspect that there will be a settlement. The ACC’s interest is to make it high enough that others will think twice before leaving.  I’m among those who doubt that a settlement opens the floodgates for the league. I keep asking what other ACC school is worth $60 million? Or what ACC school are the Big 10 or SEC members willing to reduce their shares to add?  And I keep coming up with none.

Sometimes, too, value is tied to who you play.  Is UNC worth as much without its rivalry with Duke?  Is Michigan without Ohio State?  Texas without Oklahoma?  Though they don’t want to admit it, many teams lose their identity when they change leagues at least partly for that reason.  It was funny watching the ACC try to make BC-Clemson  something based on them having played each other in a bowl game in the 40s.  It was basically ConFLiCT 2.0.  I doubt either school can find the trophy they ginned up.  I doubt Carolina is worth $60 million. I seriously doubt it without Duke as its foil.
