Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4747300, member: 5685"] You are creating a completely different argument. It would be a negotiated settlement and not a hostile takeover. The ACC per team payout goes up. That isn’t devaluing. And having greater T1 exposure for the left behinds is bad for those schools? Texas got out early for a price. Paying $250M to the ACC to buyback the TV rights Is a hefty price. A team wouldn’t be walking away for free or breaking the GOR. They are doing what Texas did. ACCN carriage fees don’t change. Ad revenue would decrease some but less than the increase you get from Tier 1/2. So net the schools make more money. I don’t think it would be worth it to ESPN. Definitely not in the current environment. But I don’t know how much they make on these games so it could be possible. [/QUOTE]
