[B][/B] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/letsgomtnrs']@letsgomtnrs[/URL] they do but it is contingent on ESPN launching the ACCN. It has a backdoor. [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] Just to clarify: ACC GOR would not be an extension of the current GOR but a new GOR entirely with no backdoor clause hinging on ACCN launch [URL='https://twitter.com/']MH ver3‏@MH ver3[/URL] The current ESPN contract always stated that of no network was launched then the deal and GOR would be reworked within a certain time period [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] And the time is up [URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] ESPN is already losing $$ on current ACC deal and would be losing more by giving more $$ [URL='https://twitter.com/']MH ver3‏@MH ver3[/URL] Back when ACC was making $14m per school and it looked like FSU and Clemson were leaving ESPN threw more $& at ACC [URL='https://twitter.com/']MH ver3‏@MH ver3[/URL] Then the cord cutting started in earnest and profits began to plummet and cuts were made [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] Now ESPN has backed itself in a corner and it is cheaper to thrown$30m per year at ACC than to lose way more trying to launch a network [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] B12N is only feasible to ESPN because it would use the existing LHN infrastructure and LHN already has carriage in heart of B12 [URL='https://twitter.com/UConnPittDad'][B]Brad Weiss[/B] ‏@UConnPittDad [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/UConnPittDad/status/705496812149456896']56m56 minutes ago[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']@MH ver3[/URL] is UCONN is squarly in the mix?

Very much so. Vital market for a conference network to obtain. [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] ESPN was in a position where it was going to have to pay the old BigEast a big payday to keep the rights because the ratings were there [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] Instead they used ACC to destroy BE and now it is looking like it is the ACC's time to take the fall [URL='https://twitter.com/Ringneck85'][B]Ringneck85[/B] ‏@Ringneck85 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/Ringneck85/status/705499106991542272']50m50 minutes ago[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']@MH ver3[/URL] assuming all info is correct that would most likely mean FSU, Miami, Clemson, Louisville, Pitt, & Cuse to B12 and no Cincy & Uconn? [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] ESPN gets most of what they want with B12 and SEC [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] And buys some of what they want from B10. [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B]‏@MH ver3[/URL] And then they have some of the PAC for the games no one outside of California gives a damn about.
