Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 4973096, member: 1737"] C.W. Lambert@InsideTheBig12 Serious post... been saving this one... don't want the blowback. As of today, ESPN plans to pick up the option on the ACC's contract. Why? ESPN will pick up the option, unless Clemson and FSU buy their way out of the ACC, to prevent Clemson and FSU from leaving for the B1G. 2:53 PM · Apr 16, 2024 · C.W. Lambert@InsideTheBig12 · 3h Sources share information for a reason. They have an agenda. The reason, in this case, is clear. It's a message to Clemson and FSU. You can negotiate your way out of the ACC and into SEC profitability but forget about the B1G unless you have $512M. C.W. Lambert@InsideTheBig12 · 3h Let me add to the message. Hey Clemson/FSU... you are more valuable to ESPN than everyone else in the ACC. ESPN prefers you stay in the ACC, but if you have to leave, then ESPN will work with you and the ACC to transition ya'll to the SEC. C.W. Lambert@InsideTheBig12 · 3h But, ESPN has invested too much money in the ACC to let Clemson and FSU jump to the B1G. C.W. Lambert@InsideTheBig12 · 2h I keep trying to think of ways that Clemson and FSU end up in the Big 12... but I can't identify any plausible scenario where it could happen. The Big 12 can't anger ESPN or Fox. [/QUOTE]
