YesDidn't the Virginia state legistlature force the ACC to take VA Tech due to UVA being in the conference already?
what a joke...i mean SMU?!?! im gonna puke.
What would you like done? If the ACC doesn't want us, then they don't want us.Our state officials continue to allow ESPN to profit off the backs of CT taxpayers at the expense of our taxpayer funded university. It’s a double whammy and needs to be dealt with, now.
The ACC doesn’t want SMU. ESPN want SMU because of their delusions of the Dallas market for the ACCNetworkWhat would you like done? If the ACC doesn't want us, then they don't want us.
Res ipsa counselor. Generally hiding under rocks isn’t a formula for success. Battles are won and lost on perception and any business lawyer worth their salt ought to know you need a sophisticated messaging strategy to drive your objectives.To engage whom? You? Because you have no friggin idea what contact they've had with the other conferences.
I wonder where the $72m number is coming from. ACC’s television rights were at nearly $31 million last year. Maybe $24m is the base contract, and the other $7m came from the ACCN? So would the withholding only be for the ESPN contract, and the increased ACCN fees from California and Texas get evenly distributed? Lots of questions, little to no answers at this time.
Lol, the ACC wants who whom ever ESPN says that they will give them additional income for. As the Boston College AD said "ESPN told us what to do."What would you like done? If the ACC doesn't want us, then they don't want us.
Typical hypocrisy by Notre Dame and in the same paragraph no less: blames schools/conferences for forcing student athletes to travel so much and yet wants Calford to land in a conference where every member is 3,000 miles away.Great thoughts after the fact.
I’ve never heard a media member ask any state official about their relationship with ESPN either, and the financial damage done to our flagship state university. If there is nothing they can do, I’d like to hear them say it. If we just added up how much Syracuse and Pitt have made from ESPN since joining the ACC, it has to be a few hundred million.Our state officials continue to allow ESPN to profit off the backs of CT taxpayers at the expense of our taxpayer funded university.

Race to the bottom. Is there anything more American than that?Unfortunately, this could set the bar for future expansion. “You want in, forego any money”.
That’s not very appealing.

Cal and Stanford will be getting full shares before the Contract ends per that article. It would be a gradual increase.Unfortunately, this could set the bar for future expansion. “You want in, forego any money”.
