No need to wonder any longer if Feb. 1, 2025 is indeed fish or cut bait time for ESPN and extension of the ACC media rights contract.
From the North Carolina site on 247:
"We're obviously very much aware of the conference realignment dynamics," UNC president Lee Robets said. "There's just a...
Yo, this Dookie goober who filed for the purpose of getting a TRO ain't stopping ****.
"ESPN would be insane to decline its ACC option"
Sure thing buddy.
ESPN could've put a monkey wrench in the FSU/Clemson departure plan by already signing off on its media rights extension for 2027-2036
So...
The same Jim Phillips caught flat-footed when B1G-PAC-ACC "Alliance" collapsed and who suggested today it was possible FSU and Clemson might be open to staying?
Ignore that clown
We're the former "10" who's convinced she's still a solid "8" but realistically is more of a North Florida "6"
So, yeah, like you said, "just bangable enough" for the corn-fed decision-makers in the Big Ten
I don't see it, either, unless ESPN really, really, really wanted it to happen and Sankey caved.
SEC would be the best thing for UM Athletics since title belt No. 5, but the B1G would still be a million times better than our current home
Don't agree with a good bit of it, but thumbs up for a well-written post.
I don't think "FSU to the B1G" is any more legit than the "Miami and Clemson are tied together" posts a few hundred pages ago. Any such chatter leaking from FSU's decision-makers is just posturing to help loosen the...
FOX ain't getting FSU because FSU is going to the SEC. Period.
Take that one to the bank, Cane brotha
This "FSU is going to the B1G" is just posturing to help expedite the realignment process.
This is from ESPN's Pete Thamel back in December. He is as tied in with the realignment process an...
Conference realignment at the SEC/B1G level isn't based on the outcome of one football season.
You don't think Sankey and Pettiti have already decided which directions they want to go with their respective expansions?
These moves happen in pairs: Texas+Oklahoma, USC+UCLA, Oregon+Washington...
How would FSU receiving a full share from Day One sit with U-Dub and Oregon, which are (reportedly) getting a half share until 2031? Would the other ACC schools you mentioned also get a full share right from the start as well? Seems like that might a uncomfortable situation to navigate for the...
I don't believe ESPN is "****ed off" at either fsu or Clemson.
What has ESPN done to this point to demonstrate it has the ACC's back in the two lawsuits?
There hasn't been one leak confirming the media rights deal option for 2027-2036 will indeed be extended by the Feb. 1, 2025 deadline.
