[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 953988, member: 2426"] There have been reports in the past several years that the ACC has had discussions with networks, and some Pac12 schools but the additional money for adding the schools did not increase the per school payout. None of that is actual public information, but reports from people who have had decent contacts. The current information that is getting you frustrated is from bloggers and Twitter. It is not from reputable sources. Especially one guy on Twitter last week was saying that Tuesday was the day the FSU and Clemson were going to make the announcement of a move to the Big10. I think this is past Tuesday, and that didn't happen. In fact, the FSU BOT had a meeting yesterday, and even though they trash talked a lot they didn't even have a proposal to vote on for moving to any conference. If you pay attention to, and believe all of the "breaking news" on Twitter, you will feel very frustrated. In the end, I am certain that the ACC is in discussions about a lot of things. They aren't going to publicly say who they are talking to or what they are talking about. The Big10, Big12, nor SEC is going to publicly say who they are talking to or what they are talking about. You are not hearing actual information in the reports that are being flung around. You are just hearing a bunch of people who are trying to get attention spew a bunch of hogwash. There is even one Twitter poster that is using forum posts from random forum posters as his source of information. In the end, no matter what happens none of us will know what discussions actually took place. If Oregon and Washington join the ACC, we won't know what their other opportunities were. If they join the Big10, we won't know what level of discussions they had with the ACC, nor if there was enough money available from TV packages to make such a deal profitable for anyone. I am not saying that the leadership of the ACC is rock solid. However, there is a media perception that the leadership is inept. All of the reporting is going to mirror that perception, especially at this point because nobody actually has any real information to report. [/QUOTE]
