If the SEC was a goose, then it already laid its golden egg

The money the SEC has made while the ACC has been waiting for the ACCN to launch has given the SEC a huge financial advantage. Also, consider that the payout for the ACCN will probably not equal to the payout of the SECN and it may not even be in the same ballpark. The SEC may find itself in trouble when it comes time to negotiate the next contract. Even if the SEC ends up taking a cut in its payout (compared to now), it may still end up being more than the ACC's payout. Plus, if the SEC decides to go shopping with other networks, then its overall content may be more valuable than the ACC's content. Assuming that NBC ended its relationship with Notre Dame football and has the option to either get involved with the ACCN or SECN, then I am not sure it is a slam dunk that NBC would pick the ACCN.

The SECN and BTN deals are profit shares...I suspect ACCN to be the same -- daveinop 05/03/2017 7:49PM

There may be significant profit to be made by the ACC -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2017 9:01PM

I just want us close. -- chuckd4vt 05/04/2017 08:47AM

Schedules like the 2019 home football schedule definitely -- RJHokie 05/04/2017 08:58AM

That year, home OOC is a train wreck...c'mon Whit! ** -- daveinop 05/04/2017 10:44AM

What we typically do is add a quality neutral sight OOC opponent. -- chuckd4vt 05/04/2017 1:21PM
