Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

So we need to be in the big12 by 2030 at the latest. Hopefully sooner because competing without revenue sharing is going to show, and fast.

“As part of the settlement, Clemson and Florida State are asking the ACC to agree to reduce penalties for exiting the grant of rights after 2031, when TV contracts for the Big Ten, SEC and Big 12 are set to expire.”

I think if this could be good in the sense that the Big 12 wont take any ACC schools now since they'll stay together and would look again towards us

Good point

So, the rest of The ACC is buying FSU, Clemson, UNC, and Miami's silence until 2031. If they're able to negotiate lower exit penalties The ACC as we know it is effectively on the clock.

Why would the ACC schools not named FSU or Clemson actually agree to that?

They’ve no reason and no incentive.

A lot of this is just common sense

So funny when ESPN insiders are reporting on ESPN media contracts

It’s never not funny, especially when they get it wrong.

 

[Patman]

We'll see. Only a few months to go.

No, we've already seen it. If things were just about an espn extension fsu would have been gone already. That's such small money

 

[uconnric]

Those negotiations will be something! I'd assume that UNC, among others (Miami), also will not be satisfied with a reduced share. I would also have to believe that the agreement is contingent upon successful negotiations with FSU, Clemson, etc. Separating the wheat from the chaff.

Actually, if people are genuinely only concerned about carbon emissions from the generation of electricity, nuclear power plants are the clear answer.

FIFY.

Hard to say, but it seems like they're open to placating the bread winners in order to maintain the peace for a few more years. It's definitely a screwed up dynamic, but what isn't with that conference?

Tweaking the revenue formula…eh, fine. Maybe they do that. I saw some mention that they were going to consider giving FSU and Clemson more Notre Dame games…they probably need to discuss that with Notre Dame.

But making it cheaper for them to leave early? If any president votes for that, their school should fire them immediately.

This is an interesting settlement if the reports are true. The "brand" football schools get more games against Notre Dame and the "non-brand" schools get fewer. Then there is extra money for the brand schools and the possibility that the exit penalties decline in 2031. Sounds like a compromise.

 

[Stinger92860]

Lol. So many schools in ACC realize a cut in their ACC revenus beats having to go in to the market alone to find their value.

"ACC sources suggested a vote to support the new revenue distribution plan may not be unanimous, but one conference administrator said a cut in distribution would likely be worthwhile if it meant stability in the coming years as college athletics works its way through a volatile series of existential shifts in its amateurism model. Multiple administrators who spoke with ESPN noted the severe impact that the collapse of the Pac-12 had on Oregon State and Washington State, and the observably diminished values of those programs has helped spark interest in negotiating a settlement."

Who would be deciding the revenue distribution splits or should I say mediating? Would some of it be FB performance based, attendance, times on national TV, etc. ? This would be interesting, especially for BCU.

But don't you understand- this is about "making peace in our time."
Although it didn't work in 1938.

Tax ESPN!

If you haven't opened the thread in a long time it will do that (not sure why and what is a long time lol). Just click on the "Jump to New" and you should go back to where you left off. When I check daily I don't have any issues with it going to page one.

So are we to read the tea leaves and say rule # 1 will be in full force until 2029 at the earliest? We'll be staying put until the end of the decade.

I mean I’d love to do the Big 12 for all sports, with football joining in like 2029 or 2030 thing. But yeah I don’t see that happening yet, no need for them to rush

If you tweak the revenue formula by giving more money to the winning teams, FSU gets less money

 

[LoyalFanCT]

Will UNC and NC State jump ship sooner than later and open a spot for UConn and maybe another school?

No.

According to Flugaur, the other schools Pitt, BC, Syracuse, Wake Forest, will go along with it because they want private equity investment. The Big 12 and now the Big 10 are looking into getting private equity buy-in. The ACC can't do that until the FSU and Clemson lawsuits are settled. UNC will go along with it because they may want out of the ACC so they want the exit fees reduced, just like Clemson, Miami, and FSU want them reduced. They also are in favor of private equity investment. Note the UNC Chancellor's meeting with the Faculty Council explaining why they have to pay millions to Bill Belichick and invest in football. They need money that they are not getting from the ACC media contract.

You’ll note that they do not want that….they want more money for “being” Florida State.

And here is Flugaur's take on it:
