Message: [QUOTE="CAtlantic, post: 4343451, member: 11388"] college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h It's going to be a wild week. A lot of schools have emergency board meetings. Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 47m Excerpts @Minnesota247 “…there is one ACC school, per BTM, who has made some serious internal inquiries on creating process to negotiate buyout with Athletic Coast Conference using yearly installments spread out over ____ amount of years. The school is University of Miami.” 1/4 Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 46m “The payout would be in hundreds of millions. How much could Miami Fl negotiate the price downward? What leverage would Miami Fl use to negotiate price downward? We don’t know. Why is Miami Fl the ACC school who is perceived to be taking the lead on this costly endeavor?” 2/4 Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 45m “…number on the total payout would be enormous. Much greater number than Notre Dame’s cost to get out of their ACC GOR which is tied to only the ACC Network payouts and not to entire yearly ACC Conference payouts” 3/4 Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 43m “It may turn out this story grows no legs because Miami Fl decides not to proceed…but there was enough here at this time to go forward with heads up. Where did the story originate? You guessed it correctly. Once again boosters talk to boosters.” 4/4 MH ver3@MH ver3 · 1h Morning tidbits: Fox is done with Pac12 as an entity and has no plans to even bid on a new tv contract. Boise State is making a lot of noise wanting B12 to reopen their application. CBS and NBC expected to be huge players for the next B12 contract in addition to ESPN and Fox MH ver3@MH ver3 · 1h ACC source telling me this morning that the school they work for has exhaustively ran the numbers and when compared to the windfall of SEC or B1G tv money the financial risk is outweighed by the future reward. And that’s before a likely settlement to reduce the impact. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 1h The plan to fight the GOR in court is to claim it was signed under duress and that the contract is unconscionable MH ver3@MH ver3 · 1h They feel a strong enough case can be made to net a much reduced penalty for breaking the contract. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 47m Also learning there is a possible scenario where Oregon gets a B10 invite and Washington does not. And it could be why no announcement on either has happened yet. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 46m There is a possibility that B1G lands ND without the Stanford carrot and could possibly only add ND and Oregon and stop at 18 for now. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 45m That scenario was floated by Fox. The desire of B10 is to bring both Washington and Oregon into the fold but Fox is balking at overpaying for both west coast schools considering the actual value they bring. [/QUOTE]
