Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 2654880, member: 38"] There were six major conferences when Lew started talking about football. He didn't speculate about consolidation amongst those conferences, he was just convinced that schools playing major conference football would eventually separate and form their own deal. The ACC is fine. It's nearly 100% owned by ESPN/Disney - they're not going to hurt the house band now that they're pushing an ACC Network. The Pac12 is fine, long-term, for the reasons you've mentioned. I don't see any way the Big 12 survives the expiration of its grant of rights. Texas and Oklahoma can make more money elsewhere and that will be fatal. [/QUOTE]
