I agree that the ACC should be looking for more money from ESPN. Why do people assume that these talks aren't happening?

Why work with FSU? The ACC has FSU by the footballs. They can give FSU less money than Wake and there is nothing that FSU can do. Yous can't leave for a dozen years. The doors are locked. FSU has zero leverage.

The only way the ACC should give FSU more money is if FSU makes a commitment further than the current GOR. Or if FSU agrees to a larger buyout. You want more money now? Well it will cost you should you want to leave down the road. At least the ACC can get their money back in that case.

Why give up something ($), without getting anything in return? Would more money make FSU happier the next dozen years? Yes, but then they leave anyway should the B1G or SEC come calling. So you give up something and they screw you over, so you lose twice. Actually you lose three times because the extra money makes FSU sports better and makes it harder for you to beat them.
