If you are willing to grossly over pay, you might be right

The sharpness of the lawyers is irrelevant. Just remember, whatever a school is worth to add to one conference like the SEC, it is worth AT LEAST that to the current conference like the ACC. And whatever that figure is, is the MINIMUM amount the departing party would have to pay. So when ESPN already owns both sides of the deal, like they do, it is IMPOSSIBLE to make it a profitable exchange.

I wonder how they determine the potential streaming numbers -- HokieAl 08/02/2021 3:25PM

In the end, the SEC might take them just to keep the B1G out of the South. -- Maroon Baboon 08/02/2021 3:35PM
