ESPN should've felt the pressure to keep the ACC under its umbrella too.


No way around it, ACC negotiators have done a horrible job when working out these deals. They have way undervalued this league. Everyone knew FSU, Clemson, and Miami would find their ways back to championship level teams soon enough. It WAS quite predictable. And with that considered, the ACC should have at least negotiated a shorter deal. If ESPN balked, the ACC should have done something innovative for a change. You don't see these other leagues, even the Big12, begin led around by ESPN with a chain.

And despite what they tell us about Skipper and Swoford sipping cocktails by the beach together, anyone who watches would realize that ESPN treats the ACC like its whipping dog anyhow.
