Re: The ACC negotiated a LONG deal when Clemson, Miami, and FSU sucked.


What a stark contrast. In recent years, JS has expended all his thoughts and energy trying to avoid saying "ACC Conference Cable Network." Delany has spent the same years stickin' it to ESPN and piling up BTN money for his conference.
The SEC has a dominant FB profile and unequalled fan enthusiasm that warrants their huge media payouts. The B1G is much less powerful on the field, but Delany has kept their coffers full by outplaying the media companies at their own game. It would be money well spent if the ACC should hire away one of Delany's cadre to instruct the ACC braintrust on how to handle the media giants in negotiations. Is it just Jim Delany? Is he that smart? No question that he is gutsy, but is he really that much smarter than all those TV execs?
ESPN is going to pay the B1G. They will resent every penny, but they will pay. What would it be like to have ESPN up against it like that? JS will never know.
