Message: [QUOTE="Exit 4, post: 4696532, member: 2268"] I think Inflation will simultaneously kill and yet save the ACC contract. By 2030 those last few years of compensation will be so low that it will be relatively easy for ESPN et al. to make for a happy dissolution whereby 2-4 of the big boys leave for their new P2 homes and the remainder get a new deal at in nominal dollars of the time are higher than that ugly contract. Maybe even 2 leave for the B12 at that moment as well. Of course ESPN could try to enforce their deal to the bitter end, but my guess is that having an extended acrimonious partnership will be tiresome for all sides and so some sort of plan will be hatched and executed. First we need a good 4-6 years under the current environment (ie cable / streaming/ viewership etc) to see how things continue to evolve....just my guess. [/QUOTE]
