[QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4724660, member: 27"]
There was a report that said this but I linked to a story (see post 4363 in this thread) that says ACC schools would have lost 1.5-2 million per school per year if they took In P12 schools.

I assume that was all the ones remaining.  If it is just 2 or 4, maybe the cut in revenue is less.  Or given these were apparently the 4 schools left, taking them in might cost the ACC schools even more revenue.

I think the questions are, it is worth it to add 2 (or 4) P5 level schools for inventory to backfill in case some ACC schools leave some day?  And what would the impact be of adding these schools to ACCN revenue?  I assume this would generate a fairly significant amount of extra money in California and maybe Washington and Oregon.  Would it be enough to play shares for the new schools and give the existing ACC schools at least enough of a bump to offset the hit to ESPN straight revenue that would result from taking the stray P12 schools?

It might make more sense to take Stanford, Cal, San Diego State and SMU.  Or maybe the P12 4 plus San Diego State and SMU.  Getting more schools out west means more games can be scheduled out west and travel costs and requirements can be reduced.
