CougarCanuck76 Intervention Needed

The ACC has acquiesced to their demands to no avail. They have nothing left to offer. Any future ACC that includes these schools will be a newly formed ~8 school ACC.

How credible is Jason Scheer? He seemed to be right on a lot of the P12 stuff,

mannheimadler

Jul 14, 4:19pm

He's an Arizona insider who was very correct about Big 12 expansion.

Who on the BYU side would you say he's most comparable to?

Robbie McCombs

Jeffacka

Jul 14, 4:26pm

Yeah, because he actually likes the Wildcats.

Not quite. He’s on the outs with the administration

Robbie or Jason?

I'm not sure any team has a beat reporter who hates them like Jay hates BYU.

It makes absolutely zero sense. Florida State is so concerned about falling behind the revenue of Florida and SEC powers

TCuz

Aren't the rumors suggesting that it would be an increase in revenue

Jericho

How? I’m sure ESPN is dying to pay way more for two top teams they have locked up for dirt cheap.

If private equity is willing to pay big bucks for XII+Clemson and FSU

GlutealGuy

Step 1. Private Equity. Step 2. ???? Step 3. Clemson and FSU!

TCuz

Jul 14, 4:50pm

1) ESPN elects to not extend the ACC contract. 2) Big 12 invites FSU and Clemson

Doogal McCougar

Out of the goodness of its heart espn agrees to pay them tons more?

Jul 14, 7:17pm

ESPN reallocates its ACC money to the Big 12 expansion. As is, much ACC content

No “goodness of heart”—the MWC and American get peanuts. A new ACC without its

Maybe ESPN is dying to not pay Wake Forest and Boston College those same rates

CougarCanuck76

Jul 14, 4:54pm

Ha! They barely pay them at all. They love that contract.

TCuz

Jul 14, 4:55pm

They pay them slightly more than the Big12.

CougarCanuck76

Jul 14, 5:01pm

They won't love it much at all if FSU and Clemson were to leave.

slatecoug

If Fox throws the money in they get access

Charles Darwin

Jul 14, 5:33pm

The XII contract is split with FOX so ESPN doesn’t have to pay full shares

CaliWG

Jul 14, 7:34pm

It would have to increase revenue 30 million per team. It wouldn’t be enough to just increase those two. So maybe if

The ACC GOR lasts until 2036. This is why Utah is so attractive to

ALUF 1990

Jul 14, 4:56pm

ACC GOR is directly tied to its ESPN deal.

Doogal McCougar

Jul 14, 4:59pm

If Oregon and Washington barely made it into the B10, Utah has no shot.

ldssdl

Jul 14, 4:59pm

It can potentially last that long if ESPN wants it to

CougarCanuck76

Jul 14, 5:06pm

Utah definitely locks down the West Valley market for the next B12 TV contract

Junior Deputy

The Big Ten doesn't have to feel rushed to add teams. They can wait out the ACC

The same B1G that elected not to take you when there were zero exit fees?

I imagine they might be even more concerned about falling behind UCF

Scheer is proven so I believe him, but he's just able to report the one side and

Mitty

Jul 14, 4:37pm

IMO probably the most credible source so far. He was correct about other expansion news.

AltTabbins

Jul 14, 4:42pm

Could those two schools be floating this rumor to gain leverage with the ACC?

Leverage to do what exactly?

Exactly they want out. It's not like they need something from the ACC or are

Scheer wouldn’t just invent this, he is hearing things

CycloneCoug

Jul 14, 4:56pm

He’s not the only one

CougarCanuck76

Jul 14, 5:05pm

If he's hearing things, it's very likely coming from UA sources.

tacallaway

This is happening

Swish

Jul 14, 5:12pm

I believe sheer, but the Big 12's "internal belief" could mean anything or nada.

momowagon

Jul 14, 5:54pm

Scheer was super credible about AZ moving to the Big 12.

TempeCoug

Jul 14, 6:15pm

Very reliable one of the best.

He routinely made Clownzano and other P12 shills look utterly foolish.
