ACC, PAC-12, and BIG alliance / conference realignment

[djorange1989]

not sure if source is good but

I would say Swaim is suffering from premature conference realignment. All that has happened is a small group of university presidents met, plenty to iron out and vote on.

$72m.

ACC still need to find an additional $36-54m with the increase in teams.

That $4m each will be swallowed up quickly by AD budgets.

Now make a deal with Hopkins for their LAX program, and call it a day.

 

[Chip]

While FSU demands they get 90 pct of the rest of the share lol...

This is what I'd say to them.

Extremely. There's nothing out there besides full ND membership that would bring that

If Pac10 was offered $31m per team, then in reality ESPN had $300m plus available.

ACC settling for $72m seems low.

Does that make SMU $10m in value themselves?

I literally just want a reason to party in New Orleans.

LSU trip in 2017 was incredible. One of my favorite weekends ever.

Okay, who has the story of someone who ran into a young lady in a bar down there who knew who RGLCL was?

Late NOLA Road Trip Report

Sorry it took so long. We flew into NOLA from Syracuse on Friday night. I went with my right hand man STO and his daughter Sarah. Our flight had a stopover in Charlotte, a place I will be getting to know a lot better in the future. Had a really negative feeling about it because 1) it is in the...

Well if they add SMU at least it puts to bed the notion that a school needs to be good at sports to get a P4 invite. That’s encouraging for SU.

You can do a lot worse than a school that’s 32-16 in FB over the past 4 years and that was ranked in the top 20 at some point during 3 of those 4 seasons.

2-1 vs TCU during that time and have generally played pretty good football. Granted it’s the AAC though.

Cal and Stanford wouldn't be getting 31 mil if I'm following this right? At least not initially.

 

[CousCuse]

Stewart Mandel is a disingenuous moron.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Pac-12 demanded $31 mil per team from ESPN.

ESPN laughed.

ESPN / FOX will end up paying close to $31 mil to the ACC / Big12 / B1G for Wash / Oregon / Cal / Stanford / the Four Corners anyways.

Califord won't get a full share from the ACC.

Matchups matter….? Maybe ESPN didn’t see any value in the leftovers playing each other but there’s value in a Stanford/ND or Stanford/Clemson games, for example.

Wasn't that already proven when BIG added Rutgers?

 

[Orangefan1]

Perhaps espn wanted this all along

 

[Acesn8s]

I just wonder if a 4th team will
Come out of the woodwork before next year if this goes down, adding three teams two on the left coast and one in Texas is pretty bizarre. That being said I don’t think any other team moves the needle at all.

Espn offered $31m per team. PAC demanded $50m

Espn walked away

Silver now saying the ACC may take all sports for Calford.
