[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 814547, member: 1640"] You and RonJohn continue to make good sense, in my opinion. Right now the ACC is in a weak bargaining position. Adding WV right now does not give us a stronger bargaining position. It simply gives us less payout per team while we await a new negotiating position / bargaining time in a few years. Right now the SEC could afford to add anyone they wanted as they await a new bargaining time. No individual team in the SEC is going to “suffer” as they await a new contract. Note they could have afforded to add anyone but they did not choose to add just anyone. They chose to add two heavy weights that will blow the negotiating time with ESPN (or whoever-let the bidding wars begin) out of the water because in terms of bringing money to the table they are bringing the #1 and #8 teams in the country. If the ACC has anyone who could work some business / negotiating magic we could demonstrate how bringing our own two financial juggernauts to the table (#3 Penn State and “estimated” top 20 Notre Dame) would make an ACC package competitive with anyone. I realize that this is a very long shot at best but if the ACC fails to respond in a big way they are relegating themselves to less and less money no matter how many smaller brand programs they add.
