BREAKING: ACC on the Verge of COMPLETE Collapse! | Conference Realignment | SEC | BIG10 | BIG12

Brace yourselves, College Football Addicts! Our latest intel points to a potential catastrophic meltdown for the ACC. Florida State, Clemson, North Carolina, NC State, Miami, Virginia and Virginia Tech are close to being pushed to the edge.
This ain't your typical "what-if" scenario. We're talking bombshell evidence and a ticking clock ⏳
Here's a taste of what we're uncovering:
Secret Negotiations & Ultimatums: The ACC is facing a pressure cooker situation which will potentially trigger an ACC media deal collapse!
Legal Nightmares: ⚖️ Multiple lawsuits and a weaker Grant of Rights position could leave the ACC in a financially crippling state.
Domino Effect: This could lead to the complete fracturing of the conference, with remaining members scrambling for new homes!

The ACC disintegrating, which it *will* do, is going to be a catastrophe for schools like Boston College, Wake Forest, Syracuse and Georgia Tech.

[@CFBAddiction]

Those schools will eventually get the opportunity to stay in the BIG12 for a permanent discount. If their audience size goes up, then that discount will be adjusted. Question is, do they want that, or would they prefer to be the kings of the lower tier.

Don't be surprised if GT ends up in the big 10

[@michaelwall3393]

@@CFBAddictionGeorgia Tech might end up landing in the Big12 but not the other 3 most likely. Wake Forest has been consistently good for a long time in all sports and might get added to Big12 but doubtful. Could see the ACC regroup after 3-7 teams leave for two other conferences with 4 to the SEC and 3 to the BiG10, and the ACC restructure their media deal and includes two new players in CW and CBS to go with ESPN. They backfill with 14 schools (and serious about that) and get 25-27 million base revenue plus the NCAA tournament monies for different sports which puts them on par with the Big12. Now who would those schools be to make the new ACC the first 24 teams in football conference and 25 teams in all other sports, as Notre Dame is in for all of those and keep them with agreements to the ACC? They would be the following schools and will have this 12 teams ACC East Side and 12 teams ACC West Side. ACC East Side: 1. Boston College 2. Syracuse 3. Pitt 4. Army for all sports 5. Navy for all sports 6. JMU 7. App State 8. Duke 9. Wake Forest 10. CCU 11. Georgia Tech 12. USF ACC West Side: 1. Louisville 2. Memphis 3. Tulane 4. SMU 5. UTSA 6. Rice 7. Air Force for all sports 8. San Diego State 9. Stanford 10. California 11. Oregon State 12. Washington State Now is this configuration of the ACC still worthy of Autonomy Status and Power Status and deserves top revenue distributions identical to the Big12? Yes it does. Does it keep them at the table? Yes it does. Does it make them to continue to get more CFP than the Big12 by a slight margin? Believe it or not it does. Does this alignment actually help improve viewings and ratings immensely? Again, it actually does. Will they be like the Big12 and in football maybe at best in some years of a 12/14/16 team playoff get 2-3 teams in but usually only one? Unfortunately this is also a yes. Does this keep the ACC as the best basketball conference for both men’s and women’s basketball? It does but the New Big East and the Big12 are gaining significantly, so crucial to add the teams I have added; because good in men’s and women’s hoops and on the men’s and women’s diamond as well as football. Will the ACC being revamped need to hire and unretire Mike Aresco to run this damn thing correctly and competently and successfully and will have to pay him an Aircraft Carrier of money so he can be as bullish and successful as he wants and was in the AAC where he successfully chose his replacement? Hell yes, make it happen.

You want to make college football better? After the ACC dissolves, go to revenue sharing for the Big Three conferences instead of two conferences gobbling up a chunk of the pie. No go on that idea then the product will continue to decline.

[@waynebennett745]

It's funny to hear somebody tell another how to schedule.

[@kaioh187]

What is wrong with the idea I said about FBS scheduling FCS schools? Those games are always blowouts except for the once in a blue moon upset. Those games are similiar in my opinion to NBA style tanking just for a check. Being paid to lose is a great way to kill morale for a season.

[@kaioh187]

The product will not decline I think. The days of traditional college football are long gone and never ever coming back. Television will make the schools that are in a conference just to get a check think about being relegated to a Group of Five Conference. What about the schools that are in the Group of Five that win and want to move up? Those schools should be given the chance to make it to the Power Conferences. If people do not like the way college football is going just watch FCS Division II college football or just find another sport to watch this fall.

Come to think of it, it's like we're watching a car crash in slow motion and we can't look away from it. The ACC is the metaphorical car in this scenario.

A key benefit of the Composition Clause is that the ACC gets to keep the benefits of the ESPN contract if not more than 2 teams leave. So if just FSU leaves, then there are no damages to the ACC and even the lower $130 million exit fee is an unenforceable penalty. If the ACC expects FSU and Clemsoin to pay $130 million each FSU would be better off going scorched earth and leaving before June 30. None of the games will be televised which is fine, we forego $30-40 million ditribution from the ACC but so does everyone else including the league office who takes a 1/16th share. Share the pain. The only problem with your analysis TJ is what does it mean to "leave the conference before June 30? FSU already asked the court to rule that they gave the 1 year notice, in other words treat their lawsuit as retroactive to the August 2023 notice deadline. Do we need to give further notice? Is that notice effective immediately or does it take a whole year? Presumably it takes an entire year because we are not out yet. But I don't know.

WRONG on the composition clause. It is not about any # of teams leaving. It is only IF the ACC drops below 15 Members and it has 2 years to ADD new members to get back to 15. ACC is already at 18 and has UConn waiting in the Hole if needed on the spot.

Here is one other important point: if ESPN has enough of a Conference, they can and will cut off a Conference and take schools they want and move them to a different Conference: See the PAC with ASU, Colorado, U of A and Utah to the Big XII. To make matters worse, they are willing to let valuable schools go to the completion ( that is what happened with UO and UW going to Fox and the Big 10): So if FSU prefers the Big 10 to the SEC: No problem. There are available slots in the SEC and Big XII for ESPN to place schools ESPN wants ( not just Clemson).

[@andidklein]

The networks are behind this. There's no way the GOR would have been written that way, unless the ACC is incompetent, or ESPN had this written purposely. It also show how stupid these universities are. Don't send your kids to college.

[@tomdemay6147]

The money will be the same, there isn't enough "money" teams meaning hot brands and top 10 teams and blue blood programs. Big 12 don't have any "money" teams. The Big 12 saving grace is they have a decent market share in Texas and no teams that Big 10 and SEC want and they are strong enough they will remain a weaker #3 conference. Nothing will change. The 4 ACC schools will end up in Big 12 anyways. Why would Florida State, Clemson and UNC want to join the Big 12 when SEC and Big 10 calling and offering 2x the amount of money payout.

Also, Notre Dame prides itself on all of their DI sports and the SEC doesn’t offer anything regarding that. The Big Ten is the ONLY logical move.

Same old stuff. There is 1 major thing that involves 14 teams in 9 states.. The ACC does not have 14 separate GOR deals but one that is the 14 teams covenanted together to share and share alike. The worst thing for FSU and Clemson is for those 7-8 "left behind" schools to form a class and go into federal court against maybe even the ACC as well as FSU and Clemson. Those 7-8 schools can make a case of breach of contract with compensatory payments equaling their expected annual payments under the GOR.

IMO ACC would only collapse if UNC sues to leave and being forced to take NCSt causing a domino effect with UVA/VT & Miami. I do agree that any settlement will be by June 30th 2024. I don’t think the homer Florida court is going to override the NC court. These cases will probably combined in Federal court and mediation will be strongly recommended. If FSU & Clemson are the only schools that leave, the ACC will backfill with USF, Tulane and SDSU to get to 18. If UNC & NCSt sue to leave (have P2 landing spots) then a collapse is certainly possible. ACC’s best bet is to settle for big exit fees of $150MM or higher. IMO only FSU & UNC will get full media shares from P2 conferences. Everyone else will be like Oregon & UW that had to take partial shares. ESPN would renew the media deal if UNC stays.
