BrySmalls Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I haven't been paying attention too much to this thread, however, has there been any mention of the TV deal that the ACC currently has in place (if one does exist)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Dont think this makes FSU happy in the ACC. They voted against the buyout for a reason.Fortunately the TV Deal can and will get renegotiated.

FSU's president called it "punitive" and said a good businessman never puts himself in something he can't get out of. Hell, the two new ACC teams got their buyout reduced. Even got to come over a year early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to pay more (I think we paid $10M to get in 2013 either instead of or on top of the $5M after an agreement) to get into the ACC early.Also, I don't think the $50M part is getting to you. That's two years of athletic revenue you're talking about there, plus the fact that it's a public school means anything outside of athletic money isn't going to fly over well. I mean, yeah there's still the idea of FSU jumping ship, but it's looking way harder to pull that off the longer this goes, plus I'm sure FSU could try to get their way again with TV contract re-renegotiations on the way with ND coming in.

Even got to come over a year early.I very strongly doubt the Big XII wants to shell out $100 million for the privilege of having FSU and collectively ing Clemson.And yeah, historically the buyout penalty gets picked up by the new conference in order to make it "go down".Anyway, it's a moot point, the Big XII was only going to expand if Notre Dame was part of the expansion, and the ACC just offered the Irish the same deal that the Big XII was offering. So yeah, expansion's off the table there. Quote On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.

rams80 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 And what, again, does the Big XII get from shelling out $100 million on Florida State and Clemson?

Seadragon76 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Time to bring this back to life!Why? Because the WAC is not dead yet (Here's proof: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/8482600/western-athletic-conference-adds-cal-state-bakersfield-utah-valley) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 What gets me about the WAC is even non-football schools have jumped ship. UT Arlington will only be a member for one year like their Texas brethren UTSA and Texas State.And let me just say I've never been more excited for WAC basketball after seeing this: Quote Athletic Director: KTU Blue Grassers Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I have also read that the WAC is talking to Grand Canyon University in Phoenix about bringing their basketball, baseball and soccer team for the 2014 or 2015 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WAC needs members badly, and that is the only way the WAC can be saved: D-II upgrades like Grand Canyon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philsphan Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Seeing these two articles got me thinking about an Super Conference alignment where Texas and BYU go to the Big Ten. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8487712/ohio-state-buckeyes-texas-longhorns-set-home-home-serieshttp://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8491649/wisconsin-badgers-byu-cougars-set-2-game-series-2017-2018In this scenario, the Big Ten would be the first to expand adding Texas, Kansas, BYU and Rutgers. In many scenarios the Big Ten gets stuck with an academically inferior member that doesn't fit the conference. (Kansas State, Iowa State) But, in this scenario, the Big Ten gets 4 pretty good academic schools that fit in the Big Ten model of being a large research university.The Pac 16 grabs Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Baylor. 4 good football universities and by grabbing these 4 Big 12 schools, the Pac 12 avoids being geographically shut out of Conference Realignment.SEC decides not to expand. Let's face it. An NC State or even a Virginia Tech would get crushed in the SEC and the SEC would rather not raid another conference.The ACC takes West Virginia to get to 16 (and add a historic rival of VT) when Notre Dame decides to abandon Independence to play in a division with Pitt, Syracuse and BC, 3 historic rivals. Notre Dame stayed independent until it became clear that they would not have a spot in the new playoff system if they didn't join a conference. SchedulesBig TenAll teams play fixed rivals and half of remaining Big Ten teams each year.

pianoknight Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Time to bump this thread.I've been hearing rumors of the Big East eyeing BYU, Army and Air Force. Nothing substantial yet, but I wonder if they're trying to stay relevant by being the first of the "Power 6" to hit 16 teams. Quote 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.
