Guys, you can't just up exit fees.  Just like you can't crap out a pre-nup after the vows have been read.

[EMAWican]

In the existing ACC schools didn't agree to and sign anything

where are you getting this?

The ACC official that claimed that the exit fee would take effect "today".  There's no way in hell that all of the schools approved a contract and inked it.  Plus, I don't believe the current ACC contract is retroactive regarding increase in exit fees.

Was there a meeting in Tulsa?  That will tell us how serious this is.

I think he meant IF, not in.

In the Big 12 if the majority of schools agree to up the exit fee, they can.  You doubt that the majority of ACC schools failed to agree to upped exit fees?  You are nuts.  FSU is the only one would balk.

Yep, looks like the ACC Council of President's voted on and approved the $50 million exit fee concurrent or before the announcement.

The other piece of this is the Big East's deal with ESPN.  If ESPN reopens the negotiations with the ACC for Notre Dame (and they have to), this probably means taking money from the Big East and giving it to the ACC, which also probably means the chances of Big East football and basketball landing on different networks (i.e. NBC, NBC Sports Network) goes up.

This could mean that ESPN would be willing to overpay for a school or two (UConn, Louisville, Rutgers, etc.) to put them onto our platform.

They big, big key here is how much money we'll lose from a split in revenue.  ESPN and Fox can prevent that in Tier 1/Tier 2.  ESPN can most likely prevent that with the Champions Bowl and Bowl game tie in money.

Basically, this could be a domino in ESPN's way of trying to kill the Big East because they know that the Big East doesn't want to play in their sandbox any more.

[SkinnyBenny]

Well even if they didn't agree to it but the rest of the ACC voted for it, could FSU still get it negotiated down to a manageable number?

Relax.  We are solid for the next 13 years with just 10 teams. 

Content production and distribution will be vastly different in 2025.  For right now, KSU just needs to focus on playing some football and building their brand.

[SkinnyBenny]

We should probably be committing most of today to riling up fans on FSU message boards, right?

Also.................

Will NOT relax. Want to go watch the ksu duplex purple wildcats to go play in a giant beautiful night game at Florida State.

It'll be interesting how the 27 month notice to the Big East will play into everything as well.  No timeline has been established, other then ND is going.  This timeframe could allow things to get ugly over the next couple of months and allow ACC teams to plan to bail.     

[Pete]

It's over.

 

Pete ?@Pete_goEMAW_com
There is no way that happens. Also, Orlando Sentinel reports ACC $50M buyout effective IMMEDIATELY. Expansion done. @theDudeofWV @Warchant

The Dude of WV @theDudeofWV 7m
If @Jim_Lamar & @IngramSmith say FSU isn't going anywhere then expansion is dead. What say you gentleman?

Ingram Smith @IngramSmith 4m
@theDudeofWV @Jim_Lamar it is over - nothing to talk about but a good job by Swofford and Co

One down, one to go....Jim? RT @IngramSmith: @theDudeofWV @Jim_Lamar it is over - nothing to talk about but a good job by Swofford and Co

@IngramSmith @Jim_Lamar Then my hat is off to Swofford and the Big 12 made a big mistake in not acting when they should.

It was a hell of a ride.

You have to think they're doing cartwheels in Provo right about now.

Meanwhile...Google Fiber just added the Longhorn Network to Kansas City.

Every little thing that ties us closer to Texas is good.

I don't think that is allowed.

Now it's over

Although I still think we will get back to 12 with Louisville and another school just to add the CCG. ESPN and fox in turn will keep our money per school the same.

IMO having a CCG will become an important part of the new playoff system (unless you are ND)

Not on Warchant.  I am on the premium board, and they are answering my questions.

Okay, so far, Bowlsby sucks ass.

How?

It has no bearing in the upcoming 4-team playoff.  None. Zip. Zero.
