Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4178929, member: 5685"] The choices for ESPN are: A. Keep the ACC happy now (lookin bumps) and then offer a contract extension in 2034 where they are overpaying the ACC. or B. Milk the ACC and then in 2034 see the B1G/FOX steal all of the ACC teams of value (UNC, Duke, UVA, GA Tech, Notre Dame, FSU, Clemson, Miami, SU, BC and maybe Pitt). If ESPN doesn't choose A, then they are stuck with the SEC only for all major college sports. That is fine for football but they will have a lot less content December through August. Edit As to the B12, ESPN owned Texas the only real value add. As long as Texas was happy ESPN didn't need to poor money in. Then ESPN pushed Texas to the SEC, leaving nothing behind. That won't happen in the ACC as UNC/Duke rather be in the B1G than SEC, and the B1G wants them as well. [/QUOTE]
