Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 5054243, member: 71"] ESPN won't jump the gun on this as there will be no benefit to them by jumping the gun on it. They'll have a room full of number crunchers projecting (under many different economic enviroments) the possible results of the different possible scenarios; keeping the ACC as is vs. allowing the current contract to lapse, therefore allowing the GOR to expire early, then plugging different schools into different conferences, to determine the benefit to them of each possible outcome and their best guess at the likelyhood of each possible outcome. There could be something here that I am unaware of which could impact their thinking but I find it very difficult to believe ESPN would not extend the ACC. I can't see a collapsed ACC being more valuable to them. [/QUOTE]
