[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 957497, member: 1776"] I'll be happy when this finishes this week regardless of outcome. No one will want this bleeding into the season. It feels like the big holdup right now is not whether to admit more members, but how to divvy the money up that they bring in. Will it all go equally to current members? Will it all go into some sort of performance based pot? I think neither of those is likely nor what will be the ultimate outcome. I expect that if this happens there will be an agreement among the current members of the additional money (Pete Thamel is reporting it is likely to be an additional $50-60M per year) to put X% of that money into a pot that everyone shares and 100-X% into a pot that is based on performance. The current members are just trying to come to an agreement on what X is. I'd also be all in favor of telling ND if they want Stanford and Cal added that they have to increase their games played against ACC teams by 1 per year - from 5 to 6 and ACC will guarantee that it will play one of Stanford or Cal every year (and if they want to schedule the other as a non-ACC Game that is up to them). Finally, ACC has just such a self-loathing problem in its fanbases. B12 has much happier fanbases and presents a much more united front, even though it has a worse media contract and no likelihood of ever having a better media contract than the ACC. Fans of alot of schools need to get over the fact that the majority of the schools in the ACC will never get Big 2 level media contracts. And even if they did they would still end up with budgets smaller than most of the Big 2 schools because those schools are bringing in alot more non-media contract driven revenue - largely because they are much larger schools. Ultimately a handful of ACC Schools may get more money, but not as many as some think. As far as FSU is concerned I would very simply allow them to leave under the contracts they have signed. You are welcome to leave the conference, you owe us 3X the ACC annual revenue ($120M) and we will hold your media rights through 2036 at which point you can have them back. Of course no other power conference would touch them for a decade since they cannot bring their media rights with them. [/QUOTE]
