One important (but often overlooked monetary) aspect is revenue generation beyond simply pay-outs for Media Rights and the CFP

For example:
  • Ticket Sales for football, basketball, baseball and other sports in the SEC vs B1G
  • Increased demand (and thus higher pricing) for suites and premium seating for football and other revenue sports in the SEC
  • Financial benefits for Tallahassee (and therefore FSU) by increased game attendance from visiting schools
  • Travel costs for all sports in a more regional SEC as compared to the B1G with its more national footprint
Those factors alone would produce a gap well into seven figures every year

This is fantastic stuff!

I hereby nominate @cway313 and @Angry Ibis to follow Genetics on Twitter, in order to "hold him accountable" and "keep it real" while "giving him credit when he gets things right".

Those two butt-buddies* will do a lot more good chasing Genetics around than they will by posting on CIS.

I would also add "scarcity/demand for tickets that allows a school to set higher booster club donation levels".

One of the aspects of ACC expansion that the Tobacco Road schools feared was the reduction in availability of ACC basketball tournament tickets, which was one thing that allowed them to rake in booster $$$. However, the scarcity actually allowed them MORE power to raise prices for the highest donor levels.

ORST and WSHST are two other programs to watch for ACC backfill once stuff starts moving. Think it was WSHST AD who said they hope to have clarity on the ACC by Feb 25..

His "sources" are about as good as a left hook from a drunk Duke fan coming at you in the Blue Lot my pugilisitic friend.

Check Yo Self my brother. We got 8 more rounds in this fight and you out their prancing and dancing. You the champ!

OK ... so the ACC "officially welcomed" SMU, Stanford, and Cal to the ACC conference today, commenting that SMU officially became a member today, with Cal and Stanford becoming official members on August 2nd. There have been comments regarding ESPN enacting the COMPOSITION CLAUSE at some point ... and according to comments regarding wording in the agreement it takes a 2 program change in any direction ... add two or lose two ... to trigger the option to review the media agreement.

SO ... if FSU and Clemson announce their departure sometime in July (as projected by many) .... then ESPN can enact the composition clause and SOME comments have been that there is a very wide degree of latitude that they can use in "re-evaluating" the media agreement and their willingness to a). continue period or b). continue with a revised media proposal / payout.

IF there is a revised media agreement PROPOSED by ESPN a). it has to be approved by the member .... 2/3rds vote and b). the current GOR disappears and is replaced by a new GOR that also has to be approved.

At that point .... once a new media agreement is PROPOSED ... there is NO media agreement in place and there is NO GOR in place so that AT THAT MOMENT any school that wants to leave in addition to the two that announced ... would be free to do so by simply paying an ACC conference exit fee. The composition clause is also triggered simply by the addition of SMU, Cal, Stanford, even if FSU and Clemson don't announce their departure in July.

Going to be interesting to see what happens. FSU & Clemson announcing their departure in July could very well be just what the doctor ordered for everyone that wants out ... comp clause triggered, new media proposal PUT FORTH, and prior to approval, we bail to the B10 for a 75% share. Adios mfer!
