[QUOTE="GoJacketsInRaleigh, post: 954261, member: 5103"] FSU and Clemson's best way out is to just outright piss off ESPN and get ESPN to dissolve the conference. For example, if ESPN says FSU vs NC State is going to be a Noon game on ESPN2, just schedule the damn game at 8pm and piss off ESPN. ESPN either decides to modify the contract (money) to keep the ACC on par with the SEC and B1G or can dissolve the conference themselves. The end game here is two conferences. Then they will split into various divisions and what not. It's just a matter of when the bottom feeders (Vanderbilt, Rutgers, Missouri for example) get kicked out of these conferences. We will eventually end up with roughly 30-40 top tier teams, and another 30-40 in a secondary tier. The top tier won't survive because the most of the viewers will be their fans only. People like me won't give a **** about them. I'll just watch the NFL if I want to watch a professional 32 team league, which is much better football. That secondary tier, which I assume GT would land in, would get back to be real college football where money still matters but much less so. Bring it on ASAP. We aren't ever competing with UGA, Clemson, Alabama, etc.... financially, recruiting, or anywhere else on the football field on a consistent basis. It is what it is. The NCAA may as well let the TV networks determine the conferences and just get it over with. I won't be surprised if within the next 3-5 years the politicians are involved and dictating where publicly funded universities play and try to level the playing field too. I'll leave my thoughts on that with just that statement so I don't get political. [/QUOTE]
