[QUOTE="Techster, post: 949358, member: 360"] I wrote about that over a year ago. Those teams see themselves on the level of 'Bama/UGA/Ohio State/Michigan/Notre Dame/Etc. Their fanbases want to compete at the highest levels. Those teams see the writing on the wall: $50 million+/- revenue gaps between the SEC/B1G teams and the ACC. It' will grow even BIGGER in the next 5-10 years. There is ZERO way ACC teams can compete on the national level with those teams once the revenue of the other teams are 2-3 times more than what ACC gets. GOR is an anchor that will pull every ACC down until 2036. There is ZERO way the ACC remains intact after 2036. I've been thinking about GT's sports future a LOT lately. It's funny, and I know I keep bringing it up, but to think GT's future should already be assured but our leadership bungled it multiple times. I also think about how the ACC could have been dismantled a LOT earlier...and it's highly probable that GT staying in the ACC in 2012 saved it from an earlier demise. There's no way the ACC gets what it gets today in TV money had GT left and taken the Atlanta market with it to the B1G. I also think a team like UVA and UNC thinks a LOT harder about staying in the ACC had GT left knowing the media contract without the Atlanta market moves millions of dollars per year towards the B1G and off the ACC's books. All speculation of course. What's not speculation is the B1G and SEC sharks are circling looking to pick off the ACC seals as soon the tide rises again and drowns our conference. [/QUOTE]
