A decent negotiator could easily leverage such fan interest and involvement

You don't think the tens of millions of fans and alums of ACC schools can't yeild some power? If ESPN doesn't think a network will make them money, give the fans an opportunity to convince them it will.

We all know why the hush hush is occurring. These guys don't want to be held accountable for the poor job they've done.

dulaney from the B1G and Sleeve utilized fan interest as leverage on numerous occasions. It made them the best in the biz too.

FSU recently used publicity to get to call the shots when a new school was being added.

Wrong. ACC must prove it has enough fans to support a network. -- chuckd4vt 03/31/2016 5:37PM

The way the ACC does these things is the schools don't keep copies... -- VictoryTurkey 03/30/2016 11:00PM

Under Florida Law, anyone acting on behalf of FSU, such as the Conference -- daveinop 04/01/2016 2:16PM

Great example of tin foil hat misinformation that's taken as fact -- crabcake77 04/01/2016 3:14PM
