Any Big 12/ACC merger would have to come after the top ACC teams leave for the P2.

How does one separate the value / dead-weight in the BXII? They're all pretty blah. It's why I've always said it has a longer shelf life the ACC where there is much more dispersion, and programs of value that would have interest from the big boys.

It would be funny/sad/typical if Miami uses one good year after sucking for 20 to get an invite.

I would say there is still a grant of rights. Only thing that’s changed is they now have a known price tag to get out of.

Do we have reliable data as to what the sliding scale is, exactly?

So after 2030 the amount is only $75 million. The ACC could implode like the PAC12 if the top 4 or 5 teams leave causing the ACC contract drop in significant value.

So July 1, 2030 is the day it hits the min. These announcements typically happen 18-36 months in advance, so we're looking at late 2027 - 2028 for movement to happen?

The ACC TV contract expires in 2031, right? And since the exit fee structure is not escalated for inflation or sliding as the years go on, (do we know for certain that it does not reinitialize each year?), the ACC is likely to disintegrate starting in July 1, 2028. Is that the consensus here? Maybe earlier?

Drop to $75 million occurrs in 2030 and subsequent. I think if ACC implodes it will be that year. Four teams make up over 45% of the TV viewership for ACC. FSU, Clemson, Miami and Georgia Tech.

I think that in 2030 our exit fee drops to $10 million. (If not, it's in the last year or so of the $15 million period.) So it becomes "affordable" for us to leave at that time. We will see if any invites are forthcoming. I would be OK in an ACC without those schools. I suspect North Carolina is also gone.

Hopefully, we have a choice of either the big 12 or a reasonably intact. ACC. It's entirely possible, though, that the Big Ten and the SEC will take the high value schools listed above and the big 12 will pick over the remains. That leaves us with a best case scenario in being invited to a very picked over ACC that would likely be offered a diminished "Take it or leave it" deal from ESPN. If that happens, we would likely the offer, because it would still be a step up from the big east in terms of the media dollar distribution.
