[QUOTE="Techster, post: 1009989, member: 360"] Peterson also underestimated GT's (more specifically, Atlanta's) leverage. This is something I wrote in an earlier discussion: Atlanta is the single biggest Southern market (if you don't include Florida as a whole as a market). If GT would have left, and given the value of linear TV rights and TV markets at the time, the ACC would have been in a WORLD of hurt. It would have been a masterstroke by B1G's Jim Delany because it would have probably forced UNC and UVA (Both were tier 1 targets for the B1G) to move to the B1G as well because losing the GT/Atlanta market would have severely hurt the ACC's media value. There was a LOT of pressure from the Carolina Mafia to keep GT in the ACC. [/QUOTE]
