[QUOTE="Techster, post: 936774, member: 360"] There's speculation that ACC just wants Oregon/Washington/Stanford/Cal. They do not want Washington State, Oregon State, etc. Those teams would not add value to the ACC contract, also ESPN WILL NOT pay the ACC more per school for additional schools. Those 2nd tier PAC12 schools would actually devalue our media contract. ESPN has the ACC over a barrel right now (thanks GOR!) and are making a LOT of money off the ACC. Apparently, the SEC isn't as lucrative for ESPN as the ACC, despite the SEC being a powerhouse football league. SEC is being viewed as a high cost/high viewership conference due to the all the championships, but they are not as profitable on a per $$$ basis as the ACC. The ACC deal only gets better for ESPN each year (and worse for the ACC). The other thing that's being discussed out there is the ACC is demanding GOR from the PAC12 schools, but some schools want a B1G/SEC clause that releases them if they can join a "better" conference. ACC/PAC12 would be a marriage of convenience...and will most likely dissolve as soon as certain members get a better offer elsewhere. We're really all in a holding pattern until the ACC's GOR gets figured out. EVERYONE sees the writing on the wall: B1G and SEC are sitting on the banks of the lake waiting for winter to come and the water to freeze so they can cross the frozen lake and pick off their targets. ACC GOR is the lake the BIG and SEC are waiting to freeze. [/QUOTE]
