I'm thinking early 2030s. Once it becomes financially feasible, these schools, specifically ACC schools, will leave and create a super conference. Most of the ACC going to the Big and SEC, with some staying behind in a diminished ACC or going to a G5 conference.Surprised he predicts the demise to take that long lol. Maybe that is due to long contracts...
Do you want that to happen, or are you just resigned to it happening?I'm thinking early 2030s.

ESPN has the ACC TV rights until 2036. There is no way that ESPN would allow just UNC, Dook, and UVA to leave ESPN for Fox. The longer the contract left, the more each team leaving it has to pay.Surprised he predicts the demise to take that long lol. Maybe that is due to long contracts...
I don't want it to happen, just think it's inevitable. The ACC is just too far behind and I'm not sure if there is anything, including ND joining, that could even get it close to the big two. And based on some surveys I've received from UNC, they are already thinking about it. In a perfect world, a nine team ACC exists with a round robin schedule. We don't live in that world, though. The world we live in will require UNC to leave the ACC. Doesn't matter what the fans want.Do you want that to happen, or are you just resigned to it happening?
The ACC and various schools were asking people those questions at least a decade ago. So, yes, they are aware, and have been aware.I don't want it to happen, just think it's inevitable.

The BT has been acting to eliminate competition in order to remain the richest and to proclaim itself the best since at least the early days of trying to blackball Notre Dame. Bribing the Rose Bowl to close was surely the most successful of the BT plans in that regard.The SEC and B1G want to go to a super conference and try to control all of the football money so if the left out schools have even a tiny brain they kick those schools out of whatever is left of or replaces the NCAA in every sport. Those other schools then control March Madness and every other championship. See how that goes for those 30 schools who now are only competing amongst themselves in every other sport if they even have enough to compete. If SEC and B1G want to be asses then let them fend for themselves if they don't want to be better and fairer partner schools. See what other athletes want to go there and how that affects their TV money for everything outside football.
The BT is never going to do anything that financially helps anyone else, even the Pac. The BT is the original super money whore. But I don't know if the SEC is any better now.One has to wonder if the ACC should switch sides.
The league may be able to get more/better concessions from the SEC/ESPN than from "the Alliance"/FOX.
