And if it weren’t for Apple kicking in to pay off the Comcast fiasco, that $13.5M to $19.6M becomes $6M, about the same as AAC.

The old CF software used to used to break down how many posts each poster in a thread has posted. I don't believe this version allows for that, other than yourself.
I'm curious who has the most posts in here, and not sure if we should buy them something or get them checked out.

Yeah, ND has an endowment of 17B for 13,000 students. Then they can be the well endowed independents!
ESPN owns the ACC. ESPN wasn't included in the Apple deal that I know of.
So why would ESPN want to give up an advantageous relationship with the ACC and add PAC teams they don't seem to be very interested in?
We know, but the school could easily eat a few million from tuition and not blink.

That honor would go to @CycloneErik, and yes, we should get him checked out
I agree, and I'm shocked. I mostly just post jokes in here, anf I thought I'd mostly shrugged this thread off.
I'll check in with someone immediately.
I actually read that as overall rather than in this thread, but my point stands
That was not my intention, I was just adding context to my post. It is interesting how some people on this site use it critique posters as opposed to discussing the topic at hand.
By the way, when I was at Stanford there were many ISU grads with me on full ride (the only way I could hope to afford it). Stanford holds ISU undergraduate Engineering and Computer science education in high regard. Over and out.
Probably true, but Stanford AD supports the second most number of Varsity Sports in America!
Again, that means that there isn't a linear TV partner willing to pay even $13M to the remaining 9 teams. Oof.
The only other thing I could see being a possibility is if teams in the ACC decide they want to help out the PAC with non-con scheduling so they don't have to backfill. Kind of going back to a PAC/ACC alliance. Something like every PAC school plays 7 conference games in an 8 team conference but gets 2 ACC games in non-conf. And you'd stack it so you have FSU/Oregon or Clemson/Washington games where those schools get to keep a bigger cut to keep them happier.
The PAC schools and smaller ACC schools would then have an eye on a merger when the ACC GOR ends if teams bolt but wouldn't be stuck with a lot of added teams that weaken the conference.
But there's still a lot of negotiating of future scheduled opponents and what the money and TV rights look like.
Now…I’ve never heard this man speak before watching this clip. I only post it because I find the few comments attached to it fascinating. Just how people can listen to the exact same thing and hear it so differently.
