And are you able to persuade ESPN/Disney that they should not be making payments based on their TV numbers and their assessments of those numbers? If not, your objections are as much wasted air as if you opposed incentives for teams making the playoffs because sometimes somebody gets left because of a very hard schedule while another gets in because of a fairly easy schedule.

Are you old enough to remember back in the early days of BE football that CBS showed BE football and also then began showing the SEC?  CBS just totally dropped the BE because it learned that SEC games tended to draw at least as many viewers across the northeast as did BE games and draw much better then the BE in every other region of the country. Miami was in the BE back then.

I hope you are not so deluded that you think that the ACC could lose FSU and Clemson and have its next deal be as good as the one that clearly is losing ground big time to the SEC and BT. The pac surviving may give people hope, but that hope should be realistic. The new Pac is never again going to be a Major conference. If you know the value in being able to keep that designation and status, and you understand TV value, you should be focused on what things can keep the ACC intact and healthy until we can get a new deal.
