ACC won't add any value once it dissolves. It could still bring meaningful revenue to the area as a 2nd tier conference though.

I have no idea how the media companies value market vs having a competitive team. But if Pitt is more valuable then drop NCSt and if Syracuse is more valuable then drop VT. Either way, there's lots of valuable media markets left in the ACC right now.

Washington and Oregon had the same predicament last year.. .full shares in the B12 or partial shares in the B1G... we see where they chose...

I agree... Miami + FSU adds more value to B1G then FSU + Clemson. Winning all of Florida is way bigger than part of Florida + part of SC..I still think South Carolina actually has more SC fans than Clemson fans. Once Clemson falls back to just average or even slightly above average, their value...

I have to say, if Miami is even CONSIDERING an invitation to the B12 over ANY invitation to the B10 (short of an SMU type situation), then it says a lot about their vision and plans for the future.

That's a no brainer. The gap between the P2 and B12 will only keep getting bigger. Any position outside of the P2 is only accepting irrelevancy.

You can say it all you want and we all HOPE that it means something. But Miami has given no indication publicly that they're anything but content in the ACC. With the history of poor leadership, especially in athletics, there's very little reason for any of us to believe they're handling this...

And Blockbuster

that's extremely naive IF that's their official stance... content being the dominant ACC conference member? They're aware that if FSU and Clemson leave, the B1G and SEC annual payments will go up and ACC's will go way down.. it won't be just $30-$40mill a year of a shortfall eventually it'll be...

When we're at our best, there are very few programs in the COUNTRY who have as high of a ceiling as us when it comes to capturing the country's attention. Don't you all remember the turnover chain craze? our only 10 win season in 20 years had ESPN creating graphics for us during our games...

Why not?

Miami AND FSU both know they're worth more together. Especially to the B1G.

I'm surprised the SEC sees UNC/UVA as a bigger prize than completely locking up Florida and risking allowing the B1G to infiltrate Florida. If the B1G gets FSU AND UM, not only do they have 2 of the 3 premier programs in the state, they also own the biggest rivalry in the state. I'm surprised...

I prefer the B1G as well..it's a national conference while the SEC will become even more regionalized (the South). Think the B1G is better positioned for all sports and for long term success by being out west and in the northeast as long as they can get some coverage in the southeast.

Currently Florida, the 2nd largest college football tv market, is mostly an SEC state despite having 2 ACC schools. A reflection of how weak the ACC is. If B1G adds FSU, Florida will be a 50/50 B1G/SEC state besides South Florida. If B1G adds Miami AND FSU, Florida becomes a B1G state. It's...

if the current deal doesn't exist any longer (or isn't renewed), couldn't the majority of the ACC just dissolve it and therefore remove the ACC exit fee entirely?

I thought it ended may 31st? Granted I assumed that since her term started on 6/1. Also apparently the next chair is already appointed. https://trustees.miami.edu/trustees/index.html Manny Kadre

Her term ends very soon. I think who they choose next could be very telling.
