Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 4713809, member: 153"] I doubt they would even be able to pay that because the remaining schools would all be worried they'd lose their slot in the CFP. 2036 is a long time from now. These schools are assured until then. Why would any President risk their position? Duke and Wake Forest and VT and NC State are looking at Cal and Stanford right now and they're thinking, NFW! The money the ACC will be making in 5 years is $60m. Overall that's $600m+ to the end of the contract. How in the world are the 4 schools going to come up with that money, especially if it causes all sorts of damage to the remaining schools? If it were me, I would take that contract until its very end. Oklahoma and Texas negotiated an enormous buyout with 1 year left. It shows you the leverage a school like Kansas St has over Texas.
