ESPN must be convinced FSU/CU will leave. What would the ACC do?

Backfill with more G5s. ESPN likely sees the writing on the wall. It may also be connected to the fact that their highly classified GOR contract with the ACC will soon be made public. For some reason, they greatly fear this and may require them to redo other contracts (see: B12) as well.

Clemson and FSU are 40% of the ACC TV value

Why would they cancel? Don't they have the ACC locked up at a cheap rate?

Not if the option isn’t picked up

runningryan

Jul 18, 8:32pm

So how would ESPN benefit from letting them out?

Because some assets can be deployed to conferences where their value could be maximized

runningryan

Jul 18, 8:28pm
