Some of you guys think the ACC is stable.  Maybe yes, maybe no.  If one team is taken by the SEC, the ACC is severely weakened.  The team taken will not be Wake Forest but FSU, or another strong football team.  That will cause other teams to look elsewhere, maybe join tsaid first team to leave.  Additionally, the ACC is the on the low end of the payscale, remember, the Big East already turned down a deal wherein they would be paid more than the ACC!  That said, no Big East team is heded to the ACC so they can take a lesser payday.  No non-AQ team will eqivalently replace a good to great football school the ACC has just lost.

In short, if the ACC loses anyone, they are screwed and ripe for picking!  The B1G 10 and the Big East may even take a few teams!

Why would Syracuse reject an offer of $14MM - $15MM looking for a $19MM - $23 MM payday turn around and jump to the ACC which makes $11MM?

Also, many on here hate teh hybrid.  Yet the hybrid is what places our conference in the largest of markets and enables the TV partners to pay more for our exposure.  Why are we in a hurry to dump the same schools that add real cash value to our TV deals?  The media agents have freely talked about KEEPING the hybrid!

Also, don't be so down on SU.  Across the country, SU has a better brand name than most schools.  Most people who watch college football know we have a NC, are #15 in all time wins, had a great recent past, terrible downfall, and Marrone is bringing us back.  Do you really believe that Iowa State has better histroy, exposure and opportunity than Syracuse?  C'mon, some of you have SU dropping to Div. III and there is a clear chance that we will be back in with the elites.
