Maybe our media deal to 2036 isn't that bad...

[QUOTE="Techster, post: 994520, member: 360"] I wrote about it in another thread...what's going to happen is ESPN and FOX are going to start pulling back money from conferences not named B1G and SEC. The collapse of the PAC12 is a very bad sign for the ACC. Don't fool yourself. ESPN and FOX are pulling the strings behind the conference curtains and moving pieces (schools) into conferences to consolidate the regions and schools to optimize their portfolios. Once they've accomplished that, the water spigot to conferences outside the B1G and SEC will start dwindling or get turned off. Those networks won't have to pay multiple conferences or schools that don't add value to their content, they will need to employ less on air talent, less money spent on travel for their game day crews, and so on in regards to eliminating expenses. If you look at schools that left the PAC 12, all of them ended up making pretty much the same amount or more than they would have if they would have stayed in the PAC12. Funny how the networks were willing to pay other conferences for them to move, but not give the PAC12 that money altogether. If you look at the recent news that the NFL is purchasing a large share in ESPN, there's not much guessing on what's coming down the pipe. The SEC will, for all intents, be NFL light and SEC will get a LOT of support from ESPN and the NFL. It will be to their benefit to see the SEC thrive...even more than they are now. It's also why I think GT will eventually end up in the B1G. Atlanta is too valuable a market for FOX/B1G to pass up, and FOX has a large presence in Atlanta. I said it years ago, these mega conferences and the networks are planning something we haven't even thought of yet. Consolidating college brands and big markets is Phase 1. I think Phase 2 is slowly coming out with the NFL and ESPN deal on the horizon. [/QUOTE]
