...and some news not so good on ESPN contract

[arbitragegls]

I believe the new contract is good...but what the ACC gave away is third tier TV revenue rights. For example that means no one in the ACC can have a Texas like network and keep the revenue. Importantly, all sources to date, indicate that the Texas network isnt thriving yet...so maybe not a poor decision by the ACC. But, and this is a big but, schools like FSU or perhaps ND cannot pursue a third tier..nor can the ACC conference like the B1g. This does have a potential downside.
Couple that with fact that ACC does not have a contract with greater dollars than the other power conferences what does it do to potential teams leaving, potential teams entering etc.
The link below provides an interesting take around the Big 12 and centers on why FSU, Clemson, MD, and ND may be interested. Of course, if what I believe is true, academics and culture does play a part in decision making...only thing we dont know if how many dollars wipe academic standing and culture out of the box?
After reading the link, what do you think?

Always consider the source.

The Big XII is likely in the market for a couple of additional members--although there have been reports that Texas is against expansion. In any case, it takes 2 to tango. And how interested the ACC 4/ND are is anybody's guess. Mine is that they are much less interested than the KSt writer makes them out to be.

I wish people read both boards but I guess there are a few bball onlies and a few fball onlies. Maybe we need an expansion board.

Would be helpful in not having to jump between two boards to read expansion posts.

There are more than a few. The football program hasn't inspired much confidence in over a decade.

gottlieb should really be number one on your list.

Whenever I read one of your posts, I feel like Nic Cage in the National Treasure movies, trying to figure out if there's a code hidden in all of the random bolding of words and ellipses.

This is brilliant. But there are clearly 40 topics.

I'd add

36. It's early, but Duke is down 6-2 in the first half?
37. How does Kentucky keep their player's eligible?
38. LET'S GO __________ !!!! (insert underdog here)
39. Will we play any man-to-man when Hop takes over?
40. I think this is the year JB really uses his bench

YES.. Keep the additional boards coming!!!

What about "cooney" vs. "coney"?

Don't know how serious your comment is, but a think having such a board through the summer might not be a bad idea. There are two related situations that might pop over the next few months--the Big East implosion, and the Big XII interest in adding a couple of new members.

Actually what should be done is have an option like for texting where you can insert pre-writen text. Coul ddo d aquick key format where you push a couple of numbers and the computer will automatically insert a particular heading for the topic.
