[QUOTE="Techster, post: 954497, member: 360"] ACC and PAC12 are getting squeezed. When you wait till the last minute and you're desperate...well, you know what they say about desperation. This was a move that needed to be made as soon as USC and UCLA announced they were leaving the PAC 12...or before then. ESPN has ZERO desire or motivation to adjust anything for the ACC. They have the ACC locked into what may be their most profitable collegiate media agreement. Once the GOR ends, and the ESPN's agreement with the ACC ends, the next phase of conference consolidation, and media entity cutting costs will continue. In the long run, the valuable teams in the ACC will be absorbed by the either one of the SEC/B1G/or BIG12. Everyone else will find themselves scrambling for their existence like Washington State, Oregon State. Stanford and Cal have "lowered" themselves and are meeting with the Mountain West conference next week. That's less money ESPN will need to spread around, especially if certain teams go to the SEC or BIG12. They will save themselves billions of dollars all the while still able to fill their time slots across 4 time zones with pretty much the same relevant teams. Anyone who thinks the ACC GOR is actually a means of stability for the next 13 years is kidding themselves. It's only a temporary reprieve...the turmoil within the ACC will grow as the revenue gap between the ACC and other conferences grow. FSU is the first ones to open their loud mouths...next will be Clemson and Miami...then UNC...then UVA? The point is, and I've said this repeatedly, the ACC "brands" that deem themselves on the level of the elite national programs do not want to sit by on the sidelines as their "peers" pull away from them financially.
