Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4701902, member: 5685"] Show me the money. Where is it coming from? ESPN isn't going to pay the ACC 2x as much money because the P10 (who ESPN thinks is worth less than the ACC) is now an ACC division. The bottom tier is going to want their bottom line to be the same as today. So how do you justify ESPN paying the bottom 1/3 the same, the middle 1/3 25% more, the next 1/3 50% more, and the top 3 teams 2x as much as they currently do? If your argument is the bottom and middle 1/3s would be paid less, WHY would they AGREE to that? That makes them worse off than currently. Within the ACC you are losing rivalries. Or if you protect those cross over games, you play the other teams once every 7 years. How is that beneficial for anyone? Three divisions of 7 will never work. Four divisions of 5 or Six divisions of 4 could work for scheduling but the money is NOT there to make it happen. [/QUOTE]
