Curious know what Maryland's number is. I know the ACC won't get $50 million, but at what figure wouldn't have made sense for them to leave.

Wow. Game changer
ETA: It's been finalized by ACC presidents today.

The Atlantic Coast Conference Council of Presidents announced today
that each of the current and future 15-member institutions has signed a
grant of media rights, effective immediately.
"This announcement further highlights the continued solidarity and
commitment by our member institutions," said ACC Commissioner John
Swofford. "The Council of Presidents has shown tremendous leadership
in insuring the ACC is extremely well positioned with unlimited potential."
"The ACC has long been a leader in intercollegiate athletics, both
academically and athletically," said the collective ACC Council of
Presidents. "Collectively, we all agree the grant of rights further
positions the ACC and its current and future member schools as one of
the nation's premier conferences."

Looks like North Carolina and Virginia made their choice and made it stick

Weak flame. ACC looked dead in the water until this.
ACC lives on
ACC lives on

Good for the ACC. I'm glad that they were able to lock their league down and I'm glad the "future" of 16-20 team conferences has been at least postponed.

I, for one, am glad the ACC will survive. They have been a conference for so long, it would be a shame for UNC and Virginia to end up one place, Clemson, NC State and Duke elsewhere.
I think this temporarily halts expansion among the Big 5 conferences (for at least 5 years). The next move will be the Pac 12 trying to raid the Big 12 to get to 14 or 16, like it all started last time.

because they lost Maryland and upgraded with Lville and Notre Dame.
LOL, no thanks Jeff.

The biggest loser in all of this? Probably the Big 12.
The SEC and Big 10 wanted to expand to become even more profitable... the Big 12 wanted to expand because they lack a major market outside of Texas

Yep. Now that I think about it, the Big 12 can't expand any more unless they add Houston, Rice or minor teams that are already in states that have teams. I suppose they could look to New Mexico, but that would be ridiculous. This might have officially doomed the Big 12

SECTards have been morons about this the entire time. Most of them have no clue of the intimacies of so many of the schools.
ACC is never breaking up. Ever.

More Sports Derpsters Wrong Once Again
I suspect that all people who use the word derp to belittle people who dare to have a differing opinion are the real derpsters.
quote:
means that every school is granting the conference the revenue from certain broadcast rights. Even if a school were to leave, its TV money would stay within the league until the end of the deal.
I'll go out on a limb and suggest this would have a difficult time in court, but derp, what do i know?

there are still several schools that might be worth taking for various reasons.
of course that would require getting Texas to change their tune on having a conference title game.
main targets
BYU - if you can't get the Catholics the Mormons are the next best thing amirite?
Cincinnati - decent enough in bball and fball, helps WVU travel
UNLV - good basketball, athletic dept does pretty well makes good
UConn - good basketball, helps WVU travel issues
Boise State - like it or not they draw attention
East Carolina - ok football fanbase and in North Carolina
outside but very unlikely shot
Memphis - pretty much for bball
James Madison - purely to get into Virginia
New Mexico - only b/c its a large state flagship
Tulane - b/c Texas might want a NOLA pipeline
Houston - big school that has really started to sink cash into sports

not my fault the MSB derps bought into delusionist rumors from plebian blog postings.

The SECR takes everything Clay Travis says as gospel truth. It's pathetic. I've been saying the entire time the ACC was surviving and the Big 12 was dying. If the SEC does, in fact, add two more teams, it's going to be Oklahoma and Kansas/Oklahoma State
