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

[HRE Otto IV]

This is before merit based payouts which will drop teams below avg and before the new deal which will drop teams even further below avg.

ACC- $44.8M
B12- $44.2M (evenly distributed)

So even dropping $1M below avg will put an ACC team below B12 teams.

Where and how would the B12 be making more money than the ACC?

Here is some analysis of revenue for ACC:

Not sure how accurate it is. But it is just PART of the revenue. I saw somewhere that Clemson had well over $100M in revenue.

No way ACCN can claim all of Texas and California as "in-conference". That was already debunked late last summer.

Jeramy Michiaels, an ESPN senior director who oversees the ACC Network and manages ESPN's relationship with the league, said "the ACC Network will receive in-market carriage rates from cable and satellite companies in Northern California and Dallas after adding California, Stanford and SMU over the summer in a divided expansion vote."

In 2030 I think our best chance is to have a merger with some of the Big 12 teams.

Boston College
Syracuse
UConn
Pittsburgh
West Virginia
Cincinnati
Louisville
Virginia Tech
Wake Forest
UCF
Houston
SMU

Looks like the old Metro conference.

By the time that Paterno had gotten furious with the BE, that is true. Before that, I think he was really hoping for an Eastern league for all sports. BE basketball interests were never going to allow that.

B1G money, plus the fact that PSU is, at its roots, a Midwest-like huge land grant university equals off to the Big Ten as soon as possible.

Looks like the old Metro conference.

Very similar and it would be a fun league. Add in Tulane, Duke, Georgetown, St Johns, VCU and Nova

I think there is no way that Syracuse makes the cut for the Big Ten unless they go to 30 teams. Notre Dame, Virginia, North Carolina, Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami, Cal and Stanford would all be ahead of Syracuse from the ACC
