ACCFOOTBALLRX.BLOGSPOT.COM

This blog is about ACC Football - past glory, what went wrong, and how to fix it and get back to the glory days again.

Goes on to say:

For any of this to work, ESPN would have to agree to at least keep the ACC at the same level of media rights fees. "The Dude" suggested that ESPN would renegotiate the ACC contract down, but JRSEC (Auburn fan and CSNBBS moderator) doesn't agree...

 

[The ACC] won't be taking less. ESPN intends [a brokered settlment] as an invitation [for the ACC] to expand with product they desire. It's their way of saying 'if you help us we'll help you'. If FSU and Clemson depart you stand at 15 plus 1. You pick up South Florida to secure them from the Big 10 for ESPN and you add two to the West to create a division. 
 

I agree with JR. The ACC would be wise to replace FSU with USF immediately, then look to expand back to 18 + Notre Dame -- ideally by poaching high-value "4 Corners" teams - or even the combo of TCU and Kansas - from the Big XII. This would secure the ACC as one of the power conferences - even if it wouldn't be fully equal to the top two.

Now this makes a lot more sense and I do believe is more likely to happen than what some of those big 12 homers keep spewing lol

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
