UNC alum here. Hilarious that you kicked off with "the ACC goes the way of the Big East" considering that there IS a basketball-centric lobby at UNC and at some other ACC schools. dook's Coach K recently actually floated the idea of a ACC/Big East alliance of some kind, which certainly dook, Wake, and probably BC would be down with. And here's the thing to keep in mind: UNC's faculty is rabidly anti-football (long story), that is the demo UNC our chancellor was speaking to when he seemed to side with Bubba and against the BOT. The BOT is made up of successful biz people (one runs a commercial RE company call Kick Ass Concepts) and handful of lawyers (Clemson's filing made a big impression on the latter) who have been massive UNC boosters, advocates, and know how to read a balance sheet. They see the flashing red neon sign on the wall.
UNC is a blue in overall sports and Tier 1 revenue is most likely needed to maintain that status. It must move to either the SEC or B1G are accept losing that prestige. The hybrid model of the old BIGEAST may work at the Tier 2 level, but the ACC must first deplete out to the P2.
As UNC goes…the ACC goes!! They are the flag bearer!! Wherever they go the others will have to scramble…only a few(2 to 4 at best) can follow…..with Notre Dame playing games !
@@danhauser3361 LOL UNC is the 7th most relevant Football program in the ACC according to viewers during 1 of their best season in recent memory. Pretty sure the ACC will be just fine without the Turdheels. LMAO at the arrogance
All the Big 10 and SEC expiation have destroyed College Sport. No one can saw things can say it was not better when there were 5 leagues concentrating on Region.
The other conferences were all on board with shutting out the G5 and smaller conferences as the P5, getting all the money . They just were too arrogant & blind to see that they could become like a G5 or extinct. No sympathy for the ACC, B12, P12(soon extinct). No sympathy for the whiners in the ACC like FSU, Clemson, etc... They played the money game and lost, now they are crying and whining like G5's begging for money and to changes conferences. The endless money train is over, people seem to not get that the networks are floundering, they have signed many big deals in all sports that have not produced the profits they expected, as they are getting increased cord cutting. The only school that produces enough to get a full share in the P2 is Notre Dame. B10 & SEC actually have little interest in adding more schools as the tv money isn't there. Even adding schools at partial shares is long term problematic as the money will likely not be there for them to get full shares when the next contract is up. The days of endless increases in tv contracts is over, the networks are tapped out.
The ACC as we know it is dead in the water. Something called the Atlantic Coast Conference *might* emerge from the muck, but it won't have the big brands in it and it may not even play football.
@@tarheel7406 The “new” ACC is not going to be on par or a credible tier 2 conference with The Big 12 😂. Stop it. The 2 conferences make about the same amount of money now so once FSU and Clemson leave the BIG 12 will be solo as Tier 2. ACC will be borderline group of 5
@@tarheel7406 Most of the teams left will be more about basketball. Duke and Wake Forest have never been "football schools". I'm not sure WHAT BC was ever good at, because it wasn't either football OR basketball. NC State and Syracuse are basketball-oriented. If they can keep Virginia (doubtful), UVA is more basketball than football.
@@dentonyoung4314 Tier 2 football will be fungible in value/power and will be much closer to Tier 1 basketball in media value. Moreover, ACC schools have a higher media value per viewer than the BIG12 due to diffeent academic standings.
This athletic salary budget is going to be the real killer. It already has been. But the reality of paying players is the true separation. By the end of the 2030's, college athletics will probably only have 1 conference worth of teams that can keep up.
What's going to happen is wealthy alums mostly or ones willing to give are going to set up designated donations in a fund to pay the athletes the 20M(current max value now). They have done it for years with coaches. They are doing it in a round about way already with NIL collectives.
I remember John Swofford stated he knew a way to keep teams from leaving the conference. Fs been trying for years to go with no luck. This lawyer have no info that fs has a way out except pay the money or conference disband. ACC teams has no interest in the group of 5 big 12. Only the big10 and sec just for the money. Getting back to that lawyer he standing on shakey grounds. There is no firm ground for fs and Clemson.
This guy is focused just on the court case. So AGAIN your channel is focused on the BS and not the SUBSTANCE. The Court Case does not matter as it pertains to ACC Survival. ACC is going to SURVIVE no matter what happens in Court. All the Court is going to decide WHEN can FSU leave and HOW MUCH does FSU have to PAY for their Departure. No MORE or LESS schools are going to Leave or Stay based on the Court. The # of schools that Leave and Stay is determined by how many spots the SEC and B1G have that they want filled by ACC teams. Not the Court. No ACC Teams will leave for any situation other than B1G or SEC Membership. I suspect the ACC will lose 3 MAX. Maybe 4. Depends on how many Big 12 teams are wanted by the SEC and B1G also. I suspect it will be 1 to 3 Big 12 teams. But it could be Zero, idk. No ACC teams will leave to join the Big 12.
That will not happen. I wonder how the SEC and BIG10 will feel about teams in the conferences like Northwestern and Vanderbilt that don't move the needle. I believe in 5 years those conferences will look to jettison the weak football teams, they aren't going to want to share with them since it's all about money. I'd be fine with 64 teams in a super conference for football only. Don't ruin all the other sports for football.
a) FSU doesn't sponsor as many sports as UNC nor at the same competitive level. Its value is mostly football, which is the most expensive sport to maintain. Moreover, I suspect that once FSU realized that the SEC wasn't interested, the B1G was the only direction left. As a non-founder, FSU had less interest in working towards a solution for the ACC to survives as a Tier 1. Where FSU goes likely doesn't affect any other school. In contrast, UNC is the face, heart and soul of the ACC. It doesn't want to leave and has been to slow to give up hope. It also has a choice between the SEC and B1G. That's three separate factions, not including external interests in what UNC does and where it goes. b) As usual, FSU fans are idiots. Everyone knew on Day 1 what the risks were from the revenue gap. The differences has always been over the best solutions to pursue, in what order, and b what means.
FSU has never tried to be what UNC is and that is the power of staying in your lane! With all the prestige and snob politics of the tarheel state and the other cronies they couldn’t see the forest (expansion) for the (Big time football trumps basketball) trees! UNC isn’t even the best basketball program in the state!
a) If UNC is the face of the ACC, it's no wonder the ACC gets no respect. b) lol at you making excuses as to why UNC is terrible at football. Expensive to maintain? lol. Surely UNC has enough money to do so, especially if a "broke" FSU can. c) Your impotent rage shows you're finally realizing that UNC might stay in the ACC and forever be relegated to Tier 2 at best.
