Message: [QUOTE="omniorange, post: 1784910, member: 636"] If I am understanding the article correctly, the $$$ part is being determined by the implementation of the ACCN. ESPN wants more conference games which is all they can attempt to mandate/influence. What I am discussing is that if or when the conference agrees to the 9 game schedule (which will be over FSU's and Clemson's objections since reportedly they along with GT were the ones who fought the hardest against this when it wasn't tied to a network), what will the Noles, Tigers, and probably GT as well want out of a 9 game schedule? My belief is that they will want more high profile games which they believe will put fans in their seats. And ESPN will sit back bemused by it all because that is precisely the impact they want as well but they can step back and say "all we wanted was a 9 game conference schedule. How you accomplished this was decided by the conference." Cheers, Neil [/QUOTE]
