Based on numbers of TV viewers for both revenue sports, The Pac has been overpaid, perhaps even grossly overpaid, and the ACC has been underpaid. So ESPN has devalued the ACC, has gotten the ACC on the cheap.

There are both SEC and BT fans who think that ESPN has devalued the ACC precisely to force the ACC to 'shed dead weight,' as SEC and BT fans term schools like Wake, etc.

Is BC dead weight because nobody in New England cares a jot about college sports? Is NCSU dead weight because it is a #3 most valuable school in NC? Is GT dead weight because its attendance in both revenue sports has dropped and remained down?

There are some SEC fans who think that ESPN would like to force a 'merger' between SEC and ACC, but only 8 ACC members get in. And the SEC will not take more than 2 members from any state. And the SEC has become like the BT is  opposing private schools being so much as considered (ND the lone exception).

What I now fear is that ESPN has become that nasty in its desire to streamline and get the best of Fox Sports in terms of college sports broadcasting.
