[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 949354, member: 1199"] I was sitting on my deck yesterday afternoon drinking beer with my UNC neighbor and he made an interesting point. The SEC and B1G schools are soon going to be getting almost $100 million per year from media contracts. Notre Dame is negotiating to get similar numbers. The ACC, Big12 and PAC-12 cannot continue to compete with the SEC and B1G in the revenue sports with that level of disparity. The GOR becomes an anvil sinking the ACC boat, not the life raft keeping everyone safe. At some point those three conferences have to accept their new degraded status or agree to make changes. The most obvious change is the media contracts will have to be redone. Today, the PAC-12 and the Big-12 simply have no real star power left. Both lost their most valuable members. The ACC would be in a better position if it did not have 12 more years with the ESPN deal and the GOR. Clemson and FSU and Miami and UNC are not going to stand aside while their teams are relegated to a lower status in football. It becomes a matter of survival and members will do whatever it takes to survive when there is so much money at stake. He said he knows there is something happening within the ACC to address this issue. The ACC poohbahs agree that Vandy should not have more football money than Clemson. [/QUOTE]
