He said if ESPN does not offer a network by 7/1 then they owe 43 mil and


how can they do that with nothing announced on 4/1? I guess there are some grey areas involved in the word "offer" but I don't expect us to see an ACCN on come 7/1. Let me be very clear, I am not worried about being "beaten" by the B12. What I am asking is whether or not the ACC will survive as it currently stands once the power brokers in the preverbal smoke filled room emerge with their choice.

ESPN is looking to consolidate and streamline across all of their platforms. They already have the rights to the eastern conference and could continue to do so while strengthening their presence in the midwest by controlling more of the B1G rights through pushing for ACC teams to join the B1G. If the SEC then grabs a couple ACC schools then it controls even more of the east coast schools while having one less conference. I am NOT saying this will happen or is likely to happen. I am saying that since we have not heard any leaks about an ACCN then I am starting to wonder what is going on behind the scenes.
