Figured we could use a thread for this given how much things continue to change. The ACC may not break up after all, at least for the next few years. Potentially good news for the Big East sticking together.



Some UConn fans are upset about this, as they think it'll decrease their odds at an invite. In the event that the Big East ever does break up, though, St. John's during the next week can really solidify themselves as one of the most valuable Big East brands.
 
Very curious how FOX situates themselves with Big 12/Big East/Big 10 contracts expiring.

If FSU/Clemson can't get out of the grant of rights, may make sense for everyone to re-up until 2036 where it could be an end game realignment.

Saw this:

"As part of the settlement, Clemson and Florida State are asking the ACC to agree to reduce penalties for exiting the grant of rights after 2031, when TV contracts for the Big Ten, SEC and Big 12 are set to expire."

It looks like around 2031 things may get pretty crazy since that's also when all of the big conference contracts end, but at least that's 6 years from now.

In the meantime revenue redistribution would likely (further) hurt regional rivals such as Syracuse and Pitt... sounds good to me!

Would love to know what the details of this ACC TV deal actually is after 2031 then. It makes no sense to re-up if you're losing two of your top programs + naming a price for leaving to the other schools.

Maybe ESPN is just tired of all of the lawsuits and is conceding that they'll lose FSU and Clemson before 2036 no matter what. At least this would totally stabilize the conference for another 6 years.
 
Man I still have no idea what schools are in what conference.

Is the Big 8 still a thing?
