New TV deal for the ACC?
Click to expand...
For WHAT ACC? One without FSU / Miami / UNC / UVA / Clemson / ND? Absolutely will see a new TV deal for an ACC conference without those teams. Might end up with a merged B12 / ACC in that case. ACC only with fill in teams like UCONN / WVU / USF? Will be lucky to get a new deal at $30 million per year per school.

That number seems a bit lower , than I thought it would be so
That make sense.

Comments were that one factor that drove the money down is the "5+7" format ... so that is 5 highest ranked conference champions + next 7 highest ranked teams. So you have a B10, SEC, ACC, B12 and Group of Five champion + the 7 at large. The group of 5 champ and even B12 ... provide lower value games and that impacted the bid price. The "industry expectation" was for a $2.0-2.2 Billion per year contract and it ended up at $1.3.
 
Was an interesting read by an analyst who did some research on Project Osceola ... an FSU funding request that will end up as an approximately $500 million dollar bond bid request sometime this year. They are targeting $116 million for a new football operations facility; $265 million for renovation of Doak; and other funds to be used to potentially cover all or part of the ACC conference exit fee.

In their revenue projections in the project they show $40.6 million in 2022 ACC media revenue and project $78.9 million for 2026, and in their documentation they mention "or other conference affiliation". The analyst said the timing on the decision to float the bond issue is still pending. They might wait until the ACC departure issue is "settled", unless that issue still pending is not viewed to impact the interest rates on the bond issue. Ferman on Canesport is stating that
"no back channel offers exist" for FSU or Miami. So that must mean a deal has been done.

There was a thread discussing Conference Realignment on Canesport ... Gary said "nothing is happening ... nobody has ANY back channel offers". His position is the best thing is for the ACC to 'become stronger and become a legit P3". So ... if Gary is saying nothing is happening it most likely means that there is a lot going on ... just that he is totally unaware of it.
