[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 882783, member: 1776"] Drad was on the radio yesterday. He basically said no school is leaving the ACC anytime soon and that the conference and schools are focused on increasing revenue (mentioned that a couple of times). He said the ACC is in a strong position because of the GoR. He said he has seen the GoR a few times but he relies on the lawyers and he hasn't had anyone come through the door or call him with a way to get out of it. Also mentioned that OK and TX spent over a year looking at the B12 GoR and have not challenged it and maybe that might mean something. On Sankey and the basketball idea. That will get extreme pushback from almost every school. Keep in mind that the NCAA Basketball Tournament provides about 90% of the NCAA's revenue. Also keep in mind that that the NCAA gives roughly 85-90% of its revenue back to its member schools. That is the primary source of funding for the majority of NCAA Schools. Any attempt to mess with that - which is controlled by the NCAA - it going to be a big issue. Personally, as a CBB fan first I think it would also be a big fail. What makes the NCAA Tourney so popular is the smaller schools playing the bigger schools and the opportunity for upsets. Without that it would lose alot of viewership. If the Big 2 tried to hold their own postseason BB Tournament against everyone else imo it would get crushed in the ratings. Also, just my opinion but I don't see the PAC and B12 getting new media deals that in anyway dwarf the ACC. They might not even get more than they are getting now. [/QUOTE]
