SEC teams to get $55m each

[Vowelguy]

It’s a hard knock life

SEC to distribute nearly $55M to each member after revenue rose to $777.8M in 2020-21

Excluding bowl expenses, each Southeastern Conference school will receive roughly $54.6 million after the league's revenue grew to $777.8 million during the 2020-21 fiscal year.

UConn to the SEC?

UConn to the SEC?

Texas has to get wins somewhere

Clemson and FSU BOT “why did we sign grant of rights”?

 

[CL82]

Which raises an interesting question if Clemson and FSU left, who would be the schools to replace them. The easy answer from our perspective is Notre Dame, although I don’t see that happening unless they are forced into it, and Connecticut. But are there other candidates?

Cinci
UCF
But moot as the ACC schools are locked in until 2035 or so

I don't think Cincinnati or ucf leave for a weak Acc. In this scenario anyway

Cincy? Bad geographic fit and already part of a P5 conference.

UCF? Possibly, if FSU were to leave

Bad geographic fit? Cincinnati is right in the middle of Notre Dame, Louisville and Pittsburgh. They actually connect the dots. But I agree, they probably wouldn't join a watered down ACC.

It's easy to say Clemson & FSU should go to SEC but, why would the SEC want them?

How does either school drive a significant revenue increase to the conference?

I agree with others, the ACC is locked in. But if that were to happen, then the ACC and Big 12 would both be so far below the B1G and SEC that the wheels would probably blow off. The SEC would be at 18. Maybe the B1G finally goes after UNC, UVA, Kansas...2 growing mega football conferences.

Just how solid is the Grant of Rights? I know it's been discussed ad nauseum but...

Clemson football: Why ACC Grant of Rights might not mean as much as we think

The Clemson football program would have a major hurdle to overcome if it were to ever want to leave the ACC: The conference's Grant of Rights agreement.

rubbingtherock.com

"If Clemson and Florida State both elected to leave the ACC, complete turmoil would break out within the conference. Because of the loss of two schools, ESPN would have every right to renegotiate its contractual agreement with the ACC and could, in some respects, leave the conference for dead.

The one thing we have to remember in these hypothetical renegotiations is that ESPN would hold all the cards and the ACC would have almost nothing. The conference has nearly no negotiating power when its two biggest brands are gone.

In turn, the ACC may would fold on its own, leaving the other 12 conference members to find a new home. If there’s no ACC, there’s no Grant of Rights agreement."

Yeah, that was a bit of a brain fart on my part.
