LMAO if the $50 million from Maryland pays for the creation of the ACC network.  If no network, ACC gets picked apart like "Alsacs" predicted in previous threads.  However, I do not think that ESPN wants to lose 2 conferences it once owned within 1 year.

Personally everyone thinks Rutgers & Maryland are winners.  Sure they are but the biggest winner here is FOX in this latest move.  If ESPN allows for more carnage to occur on the East Coast - checkmate FOX.

To me the best thing that the latest move by the B10 is that it should increase the value of the ACC in a big way in terms of media markets.  In reality, the ACC hasn't lost too many cable sets - yet - except in NJ maybe.  If ESPN & the ACC network doesn't work out, the only thing left in terms of value to ESPN is the SEC network - that's it folks - because all FOX needs to do is buy the SEC network when it's up and the FOX owns it all and WINS the war.

Finally everyone answer this question for me - if we do end up with 4x16 team conferences, where does the PAC 12 gets its last 4 teams?  Right now the PAC12 is losing this battle and will be the 2nd tier league to the Big10 & SEC - and they really need another hotbed to recruit from and add big time to their cable subscriber base - and that state has to be Texas.

To me U of Texas is the domino that has to fall to end all of this madness.
