It was and is a leadership failure.

Maybe % payout is not tied to championships won? The SEC won 6 titles and the Big 10 2. Why did the Big 10 get the same % as the SEC?

@@mrmonkeysays how many did bama win out of the 6 you mentioned?

No doubt the contract for us, sucks, bit we signed it, TWICE. That won't even make it to the judge's chambers... we want out bc the contract sucks isn't a winnable argument. My car % rate and the car is junk, so I wanna walk away cleanly?

It's about the number of teams that made the CFP,,,SEC & B10 have had way more. FSU has delusions of their own grandeur. FOR THE 1000TH TIME...FSU & CLEMSON ARE STUCK IN THE ACC WHINING NOW B/C DURING SEVERAL ROUNDS OF EXPANSION BY THE SEC & B10 NOBODY WANTED THEM!!!!!

They didnt ask for an extension, Jim phillips offered it after they didn't renew.

They prefer 1 way traps. League was too dumb to tie their pay to other conferences in the contract, so they could stay competitive.

The S in ESPN does not stand for stupid. They know the “Iron Clad” GOR is a myth, and sooner or later schools would figure it out, and once they did, those with value ( like FSU and Clemson) would not be sticking around until 2036, so why pay the ACC > $30m a year when ESPN can either pay far less or walk away ( especially because they have Texas, Oklahoma and the CBS portion of the SEC contract).

@@CFBAddiction like they had an option?

Let’s say it goes to Federal Court what happens? 1: ESPN refuses to pick up the option because of the risk involved. 2: Good news and bad news for the ACC. Good news: They can keep FSU and Clemson past 2025. Bad news: In 2027, they can leave for free because no court will force them to take a worse deal then they already have.

@@davidbrown386 What is the risk to ESPN? They already have a very favorable deal with the ACC.

Look at ACC ratings: There are only two ACC schools in the top 30 in CFB TV ratings: No shock to anyone; FSU and Clemson. The much loved UNC Tar Heels were actually 45th: One spot ahead of that powerhouse school: Rutgers.

@@davidbrown386 So I still dont get the risk. If Clemson and FSU go to the SEC , ESPN still gets them albeit at a high price and if FSU goes to the BIG ESPN still has a great deal with the ACC on par with the Big 12. If ESPN keeps the ACC and FSU has to stay or pay ESPN has an awesome deal.

Florida judge will make things right, ask Disney. ESPN will be out the ACC next year.

SEC deserves the same thing for exactly the same reason

@@cupton01 is going to happen thats why FSu needs to stay in the ACC!

TheFatGandalf I agree. Look what the ACC did to the Big East and even farther back look what they did to USC, a founding member of the ACC. Bad Karma is FINALLY catching up to the ACC. The ACC's demise can't come soon enough for me. Makes me question why those three new teams agreed to join the ACC. I guess they figured the ACC was better than nothing. They may find out differently.

Disney is many things, but they are not a failure. First, Disney intends to sale ESPN. The business model for ESPN has come via cable & satellite subscription’s. Now the streaming service wars are done, I expect prices will begin rising. ESPN has gone all in on the SEC, and they need that money they’ve been giving to the ACC, and the ACC Network life span is very very short. I am not sure about ABC’s future existing in or out of Disney’s holdings. Disney is set to begin a Billion & a half $$ dollars investment building new parks & renovating older areas of Disney World. This is expected to bring 10,000’s new permanent jobs in Florida. Gov. DeSantis has negotiated settling some of the issues with Disney. The backlash of people who owned homes in subdivision’s that were part of Disney’s District: Have been loud & extremely unhappy with how the State of Florida @ DeSantis command has dealt in failing to exercise the duties Disney handled without complaints. Disney World is the largest private employer in Florida. DeSantis used Disney for target practice & looked like a fool fighting Mickey Mouse. I said, “I don’t mind suffering a little with DeSantis just too keep him out of the Whitehouse. Yet, I am disappointed with both candidates for President”. I am going to shut up & watch the ACC die.

@@DaninVa-gt9nj could not happen to a better conference.ACC in their minds and only their mind think they are ELITE for some reason. ACC getting what they deserve and going to happen today. Tomorrow it might change.

That judge is smart as hell, and made lawyers for both sides, look like clowns at times. I expect him to be impartial.

@@CFBAddiction Fsu and Clemson are not getting out !

@@CFBAddiction theonly thing Fsu needs to have up there sleaves is money and alot of it!🤪

@@jmath1978you’re not getting out of being stupid either. You have stupid and a lot of it. 🥴🥴

@@CFBAddictionTrust me, fans of the other ACC schools want fsu gone just as much as they want to be gone. They just need to honor the contract they signed and pony up. Clemson hurts a little, but them being primarily a football school I can at least understand the case.

If academics was number one, Stanford would be in the Big 10 instead of Oregon. In fact, Oregon does even less research then Oregon State.

​@@davidbrown386 Oregon is an AAU member. Oregon State is not.

Clemson and UNC will join the SEC if and when they leave the ACC. FSU will go B1G once they’re clear.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed. I respect your opinion

Hell, I hope you get what fsu wants. Get the hell out as far as I'm concerned. Then fsu will hit an all time low. You will get your tail whipped a lot on Saturdays at that point. Be very careful what you wish for. You will be ready for another change at that point when you get worn out in the sec or big ten. There will be no savior then.

@@larrybeckelhimer8386 As long as we are paid what we are worth and not pennies on the dollar in the ACC. We are damn near back despite millions behind the SEC and B10 teams. I'm confident we will be back amongst the top teams ,being paid what we are worth!

Oh you're another one who hates the fact that we have 19 ACC championships it only been in the conference since 1992 when Florida State leaves you'll be that shity conference with a bunch of nobodies that you were before Florida State all the money we made you guys Florida state will do good in any conference they'll have their bad years like anybody else but unlike you guys we will win a national championship in any conference we go to Just enjoy your basketball cuz you might as well not even watch football you'll never hear the name national championship and ACC in the same sentence if Florida State and Clemson leave

🤣🤜🤛

🤝

The SEC doesn’t want a B10 school in the middle of SEC country.

Two also ran teams.

@@kogspinz4Meh, having a bunch of ACC schools in SEC country hasn’t affected anything. The B1G would need quite a lot of schools in SEC country to really change anything. One or two schools wouldn’t even register as a pimple. Apples and Oranges.

@@jansonroberts2616 The B10 product is inferior from top to bottom compared to the SEC. The SEC has six teams that have won Naties in 20 years. The B10 won their second national championship in 20 years, which ties them with the B12. Hence, the SEC doesn’t want to open the door for any near peer competitor. If the SEC adds FSU and Clemson, the SEC will be home to 19 of the last 21 national champions.

SEC: We want UNC and UVA. Big 10: Thank you we will “Settle” for FSU and “Travel Partner” Clemson. Miami:: Stuck in the ACC & Karma for voting to sue FSU.

Miami has not been a powerhouse in 20+ years and their fanbase is only fair weather fans.

With the ACC NOT having ANY media agreement for almost an entire decade at the end of this contract, how is it possible to put any kind of realistic dollar amount for departure?

I think all of that was calculated in the grant of rights contract. I remember when Florida State begged to come to the ACC it wasn't the other way around. I'm sure in the end a price will be negotiated and they can leave. Where are they going

Maybe they need to win something. It's been a long time

I prefer Dr. Seuss

Dude, wake up. FSU is out and has been out since last August. Clemson and UNC as well. this is the LAST year they are playing in the ACC. It's a done deal man. it's done, sealed and delivered. FSU, Clemson and UNC all going to Big10]

Wow. That's about the MOST ignorant thing I have heard in a while - and that's saying SOMETHING in today's climate. You're basically speaking for the SEC when you say they'd rather ride a Chevette (NC) and a Pinto (VA) than a Camaro (FSU) and a Mustang (Clem.). As they still say about Auburn fans, go enjoy your six-course meal - a roadkill possum and a skunky six-pack of Bud. #youhaveBADeyeballs

@@JorgeDiaz-ly5qp The SEC covets Virginia and North Carolina. Be careful.

Yea you guys should take syracuse instead.

I was at the LSU FSU game last year in Orlando. I have t seen that kind of atmosphere and hype for an FSU game in YEARS. That atmosphere sells tickets and gets views. Today conference realignment is about rivalries, views, and money. Hence there are only three really good programs left to pick up and the SEC will get them.

NCAA has no authority. The group of teams run the P2 leagues make the calls. The SEC and BIG10 are above the NCAA.

Mostly trolls of Miami, the Gators or a pathetic ACC school like WF

Fans of ACC teams that have decent basketball programs would be sad to see that tradition go, so in a sense, yes.

Meh. BOT started the suit. Thats not all talk. There are some good arguments against the ACC. Let it play out. Slow your roll down and chill. Everyone knows this will get settled down the road the only question is at what price tag.

Yep

@michaelnewton1332 - The ACC Magnificent Seven was being reported as looking at leaving the conference in May 2023. At this current point in time, two of those seven have stepped up with lawsuits against the ACC. On a national level, the ACC's lack of leadership was made crystal clear with their lack of actions leading up to and lack of reactions to the SNUB. Nothing like showing the world that the ACC members are sacrificial when it benefits espn.

Bro, you can't believe majority of what your saying. The ACC ain't going anywhere. Lol..ACC better settle or the skeletons will be released😂😂😂. I get it. Y'all need content. But people actually believe this crap.

I mean at the time I honestly felt bad for fsu and felt like they should have been in, but let’s be honest, they were 100% saved from being embarrassed on national tv. Instead they were embarrassed in a game nobody cared about or watched…

@@FSU.Seminoles1 the majority of the 7 were doing due diligence on finding out how air tight the gor was. If it wasn’t air tight, fsu and maybe Clemson would already be gone.

Worst thing the ACC did? 1: Hire Larry Scott and George Kliavkoff. Oops: Swofford and Phillips. 2; Coddle Notre Dame.

@@davidbrown386 bad things, but the worst is inviting fsu. ACC has always been basketball first. Wtf does fsu offer there?

That is THE NUMBER one thing they should focus ALL their attention on. Throw everything at that extension being a material change and thus required the vote of the members to approve an extension

🤣🤝👍

Same for the Florida judge.

Many ACC schools are good with less money then the present. Why? They are afraid of being another OSU and WSU. See Wake Forest, Syracuse and Boston College

🤣

🤝

Thank you!

🤝

A bad reputation did not stop the SEC from taking Texas and the Big 10 from taking USC.

We cover the biggest news. When conference realignment stops being the biggest news, we will move on.

Well if the shoe fits "FSU is good, the ACC is bad" LOL

@@CFBAddiction I'm not criticizing the repetitiveness, but rather the one-sidedness. I'm not an ACC fan, but I don't think FSU and its motivations are pure as the wind-driven snow.

@@CFBAddiction you are a total homer dude. Still like THIS channel though. In the other channel you are even more of a homer (somehow that is possible).

FSU is what is moving everything in college football today. Like it or not, we are leading the way into the future. Super conferences are coming. Go Noles

I do. Acc is screwed

😂😂

Sounds like you got some tiger blood in you this morning

Sorry man. The Noles have carried the ACC, even in their down years, their viewership rating still beat Clemson.

Huh? In the 31 years that FSU has been in the ACC, they have won the championship 16 times. That is more than the rest of the conference put together have.

If you say Johnsettin7234, Not so sure the word " significant" applies but if that's how you feel . ACC titles for Clemson: 21 in 70 years ACC titles for FSU : 19 in 30 ish years

The only way they would add real value is if the SEC kicks out their bottom two teams to add two better teams.

TV ratings for FSU vs OSU,MICH,Oregon and USC would be thru the roof.

Yup, Fox, CBS, and NBC are willing to pay a premium for the B1G to expand their national footprint into Florida and the South, the SEC's backyard. Plus the B1G already generates more for sports AND academics because they negotiated a superior TV contract and have heavy influence over the AAU's Board.

Here is why FSU is important for the Big 10, Getting BTN on in Florida is huge for Fox. Plus look at FSU TV ratings and the Florida recruiting area.

FSU/Clemson have been Top 10-20 in viewership averages for years. This past year only 3 SEC teams higher than FSU (Bama,UGA,Tennessee). FSU is currently constructing major changes to their stadium/facilities and are consistently among the Top programs with what they invest in their athletics. All of which adds value when you can market the matchups they would have between programs of either conferences the interest those matchups would draw.

Why, people do it all the time? Especially when 1 member of a contract isn't meeting their required obligations and the ACC has violated their fiduciary duties as a conference. They care more about holding their valuable members hostage to appease their bottom feeders and their illegal backdoor agreements are getting exposed.

It's about the ACC not fulfilling a lot of clauses in their contract. Contracts are broken every day , have you been hiding under a rock?

The precedent they would not want to set is making multiple universities remain locked in a contract with an organization that does not operate in the interests of those universities(the sole reason for the existence of the organization). The government makes money off of universities and are also invested in their success and these are institutions that benefit all of the US in many ways. I would not see the Fed courts siding with anyone other than the schools in the matter.

Worst thing that could happen? Swofford and Phillips facing Cross Examination after more damaging documents come out in Discovery.

@@JackpotJ Yup, the courts have an obligation to protect public institutions from the ACC's corruption and illegal activities.

Contracts are made to be broken. Especially when one side gets hosed.

The ACC put the con in contract

Yawn

I guess you are too young to remember that Auburn University twice canceled contracts to play FSU in a home and home series. Good luck on your G.E.D exam.

@dwzaphod You haven't got a clue what you're talking about. Say you (as a fan of wherever bum team you like) agree to sell me (fsu fan) a house for $ 10.5 million. We go through the inspection, and everything is what we agreed on. Now after I close on the house & get the keys. I walk out back the in-ground pool is gone. The home theater & seats are gone. All the cabinets have been removed. All the appliances are gone. Now you tell me, are we(fsu fan) supposed to just take it or are we supposed to sue since you don't want to explain.

🤣🤝

BIG doesnt have divisions anymore

@@badgerbournemouthfan5408 Ah, then they have done the same thing as the SEC, in anticipation of the coming chaos.

Might want to tell their Trustee chair that 🤣

​@@CFBAddiction the UNC board disagrees with you....more then that the NC politicians do as well

That’s the furthest from what is going to happen. They all want the most number of quality brands for the most viewed matchups. They want more schools and more conference games. Right now it is 8-9 conference matchups a week. Get to 24 teams each and it’s 12. They want those 4 million plus viewer games. I would almost bet a jump from 16-18 teams up to 24 teams would come close to doubling viewers on the networks. It doesn’t matter if the channel is playing half the games regionally. It matters that the commercials are aired nationally to 50 million people every weekend instead of 20-25 million.

Where did you hear this. This is totally false. SEC has already had talks with several teams behind the scenes.

I don't see the ACC collapsing if only two schools leave. It will be a second tier brand for sure, but a total collapse will require a lot more teams leaving.

@@gregoryjasonsmith5732 History is a great teacher. You evidently missed what happened to the PAC12.

What happened with the PAC is most of the schools had landing spots. With the ACC most do not. Plus no one had to pay to leave the PAC ( although they settled with OSU and WSU). To leave the ACC schools will likely have to pay $100m ( unless the ACC gets greedy and stalls and loses in court).

🤔😒
