Message: [QUOTE="omniorange, post: 288858, member: 636"] Even with Miami, it could be argued that the ESPN/Raycom combo overpaid for the ACC back in 2004 considering the football tv contract was on equal footing then with both the Big Ten and the SEC with a lesser overall quality. It's one of the reasons why I give Swofford his props. As for the latter comment, ESPN is already paying more per football game to the Big 12 (before the new contract is even signed which will only increase the disparity) than they are for every single ACC football game under the ACC new contract. So I think the ESPN will save the day thinking (which I, myself, thought was going to be the case) has been proven to be incorrect at least if one assumes ESPN is not going to renegotiate the deal they just signed - again.
