I believe the new contract is good...but what the [B]ACC gave away is third tier TV revenue rights[/B]. 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 [B]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.[/B]
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.
[B]The link below provides an interesting take[/B] around the Big 12 and centers on why FSU, Clemson, MD, and ND may be interested. [B]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?[/B]
After reading the link, what do you think?
