It’s pretty clear that Clemson and Florida State are envious of the payouts given to their in state SEC rivals.  And, they have figured out that the LT ACC media deal is a bad deal given how much it appears the value of media rights are increasing.  Both Clemson and FSU aspire to win football championships and that is probably going to be harder in 10 years if they are financially behind the their football peers.  They have to figure out their LT strategy for competing.

For the ACC schools excluding Clemson and FSU, the ACC media revenues are a windfall and they feel lucky to be making the amount of money they are.  LT, this creates instability and this is the exact same situation the Big 12 faced.  The reason the Big 12 is falling apart now is their media deal expires in 2025.  Based on reputable reports, both Texas and OU will be playing in the SEC before the current Big 12 media deal expires which means everyone will get a better understanding of what GORs actually means legally and financially.

Everything isn’t doom and gloom for the ACC, but it’s pretty clear the conference needs to take major actions to increase the value of the ACC conference payouts.  Doing nothing or adding a new member that doesn’t dramatically change the value of the conference are not options.
