[QUOTE="CEB, post: 953955, member: 4905"] Short answer, YES. As recently as a few weeks ago I thought the ACC deal was undervalued. Now I’m not so sure. That said, I would fully expect us to be ahead of the PAC and B12 (for now). One thing that all of these discussions of markets and values and revenues and TV eyeballs has produced is an abundance of information that consistently shows the ACC as the #3 conference by about every measure. Honestly, while everyone is knocking the PAC and pointing and laughing about the quality of teams, it’s biggest problem IMO is perception. They lost UCLA /USC, Colorado jumped to B12 for likely a short term gain and Wash and Oregon are actively marketing themselves to highest bidders. It’s almost impossible to assign a value to that as a media partner. Back to caveat my first answer....The whining out of Tallahassee is getting louder and the perception of GOR is that no school should ever sign such a thing ever again. Absent the GOR, we look just like the PAC. We have some great universities with solid athletic programs in good tv markets but every single one of them is looking for the next opportunity to move on. Think about it... Clemson /FSU / UNC take the role of USC / UCLA. Louisville, the shortest tenured member and a bit of a geographical oddity goes all Colorado on us and jumps at the B12, then you have some combination of UVA, VT, Miami, GT, Pittand NCST holding out hope and ready to pounce at the first SEC / BIG opportunity. Hard to put together a marketing brochure on that! [/QUOTE]
