[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 954074, member: 1776"] B1G is only expanding because the PAC is falling apart. I'm sure the B1G has some ACC schools it would be very interested in but 2 things keep anything from happening right now. First, B1G would have to pay more for the ACC schools than the PAC schools it is getting on the cheap. Any ACC school that wants to move is going to want a full share immediately. Not sure if any ACC schools are worth that right now. Second, and more importantly, the GoR makes taking any ACC schools a losing proposition for both the B1G and SEC right now. There is no reason for them to even think about taking any ACC schools unless the school is free from the GoR. This is where FSU is being financially dumb and why I now sort of agree with the UNC AD - "pay us the money and leave FSU." If FSU were to pay the full amount of money they would owe to the ACC to get their media rights back and exit the conference that is going to be close to $600M. Even if ACC cuts them a break and lets them go for say $500M - they would still be losing so much net. Lets say they get $30M more per year for the next 12 years than they would by staying in the ACC (which is really unlikely given ACC is not $30M behind the SEC and B1G in payments right now) - that is still $360M. So unless they can leave the ACC for less than that amount they are effectively losing money over that 12 year time period. [/QUOTE]
