I’m sure in the long-term what ESPN wants is all of the valuable brands under one umbrella without paying for the non-valuable ones. If they could get out of that ACC contract and move Clemson & FSU to the SEC they absolutely would. I think the question is whether FSU can find a way legally to blow up the ACC or not.
There's got to be consideration for antitrust action against ESPN/Disney if they try to monopolize the entire set of valuable teams in the NCAA. No way that should be allowed.
The B1G not having an ESPN deal would keep that from happening.
In the long term ESPN want to do what is going to make them the most money. I'm not sure all this realignment is helping their viewership and it's costing a lot of money.
ESPN definitely wants this. They’ve helped alot of this to happen behind the scenes. Maybe in the end it will be a miscalculation on their part but they clearly believe it’s in their best interest from a business standpoint in the long-term.
Just remember Marvel was a no miss hit-a-thon until 2022, Disney stock was as desirable as Apple until 2022, Disney parks were must go visits until 2023, it’s just a matter of time until ESPN falls into the same trap.
I think that’s already happened to ESPN. They hit rough waters well before Marvel and Disney Theme Parks did. The question is when will it happen to college football?
Which is why there’s talk of Disney spinning off ESPN.
I think it is a matter of when not if. At this point it is better for OSU to end up in the SEC than try to make the Big12 considered comparable to the BIG10 and SEC. It is all about PERCEPTION dictated by the media and nothing to do with actual results of head-to-head games.Take it for what it’s worth but Swaim is back at it predicting more conference movement.
Has us going to the SEC with FSU, Clemson, K State and Tech. With A&M potentially taking their ball and going home by bolting to B1G to avoid the Longhorns.
FSU, Clemson, OK State, K-State, and Texas Tech may join SEC, with KU, Notre Dame, UNC, and UVA joining Big Ten
Radio host Greg Swaim, who correctly called Washington and Oregon joining the Big Ten, has a new prediction: FSU, Clemson, OK State, K-State, and Texas Tech joiflywareagle.com
It will also almost certainly include a breakaway from the NCAA at least for football, since the NCAA basically has no power now.
Correct since the new entity will get a new name... lol
You really are a comedian, good joke.
I'd like to see how the accounting on all this nonsense works. Essentially they are talking about pulling 8 teams out of the Big 12 and doubling their money and cutting the other 8 teams payout in half. It's still costing them more and it doesn't change the playoff or the payout from it. Wouldn't it be cheaper to keep the ACC and Big 12 in tact and run the playoff with 4 conferences.Take it for what it’s worth but Swaim is back at it predicting more conference movement.

Hmmmm, I thought Swaim was on his death bed a month ago from some tweets I saw from Larry Reece and a couple of other folks!!! I guess IT WAS A MIRACLE AS THE OLD TELEVANGELISTS USED TO SAY!!!
