[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 956306, member: 1776"] I Think it is just an oversight in the article. If you buy a company you assume their contracts, you don't get to just ditch them. The other basic issue is that if you wanted to ditch the ACC who do you do a deal with to fill all that content. ACC provides more college content for ESPN than any other conference. Also wanted to insert a message from the basketball board. This provides a good understanding of what different levels schools are operating on and how media contracts aren't really even the big differentiators. If you compare GT"s financials to UGA's - GT had about $7M in donations compared to $74M for UGA. In terms of ticket sales GT had just over $12M compared to $37M. This would not be that unusual in the Big 2 conferences. Take my dad's alma mater for example - Univ of WI. They had only about $7M in donations as well, but their ticket sales were $38M. And schools like Ohio St and Michigan have much larger numbers. So even if you get into a conference with a bigger payout - you are likely going to be at least $25M behind your conference mates (and could easily be close to $100M behind the top teams) in terms of revenue.
