Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3693122, member: 27"] This move was driven by the huge TV revenues the B1G schools are getting. McDonald took a step down in responsibility to make more money. Also went to a worse program. For many coaches, money talks. It is why Justin Ludwig took the job at lowly Vanderbilt. Same thing, SEC schools are rolling in TV revenue money and are trying to buy wins by hiring top notch coaches from schools that cannot pay what they can. [USER=3409]Hokie Mark[/USER] pointed out that the next 'look in' on the ESPN-ACC TV contract is in 2021. I hope ESPN is willing to help address the huge imbalance in the money they pay the ACC vs the SEC and the B1G. If you want exciting games and high interest in college sports, you need to have at least somewhat of a level playing field. Paying some conferences double what you pay others hurts college sports.
