True, though I am inclined to believe that he absolutely did want us, and maybe still does. I just think he could get buy-in from his board while the Pac 12 was having a going out of business sale.

If the ACC was smart they would offer us a full-time membership at a 50% share scaling up to 100% over the next 10 years.  We'd likely take it and then they could use the excess money to pay their existing members, and they have another warm body for when the great exodus happens in 2036.  The only reason why something like that likely won't happen is because ESPN isn't going to back their play, because ESPN doesn't want the ACC to be any more viable in 2036.

Still, at $15 million a year, I have to think it's a pretty inexpensive price to get all of our content back. Men's basketball, women's basketball, football, baseball. They would  get a big bump up and ESPN plus subscribers.

On our side we lose the stigma of being G5 and get put in a league with some meaningful rivalries. It seems like a win-win.
