No, which is why either the ACC or B12 will die.


ESPN is going to go in whatever direction will make the most money over the long term. Remember that the ACC deal is not in isolation. They also have to balance that deal with potential revenue from other options. Many have assumed it will be the B12 that gets carved up and I think it is naive to assume the ACC is not similarly vulnerable. ESPN could choose to combine the best of the conferences into a bigger conference with more potential revenue while taking the leftovers and giving them the big east treatment. Not saying that will or should happen but it is possible and there are signs that ESPN is at least hesitating. If they can make more money by saying no to the ACCN and encouraging the B1G to add ACC schools then it will likely happen just like it did when the ACC added the best from the Big East.
