it's a high amount that won't be collected.. however it's just leverage for ESPN to tell them to pipe down..

I read that some of that is penalties and the rest is estimated lost revenue. So they could make some of it up, IF they have a more lucrative place to land

We already knew it would be around $ Half Billion.
We'd discussed it in other threads.
Move the needle? In football?

I believe it includes ALL home game media rights for a departing member thru 2036.
i.e. If Florida St would move to the SEC or Big 10 then the ACC would get a portion of their BIG 10 or SEC conference distributions.
So if Ohio St plays at FSU in 2029 then the ACC would get FSU's portion of that media revenue generated.
Seems convoluted, but that's the way the GOR is written.

The Big 12 is set honestly. Not as good as the SEC or quite as good as the BIG, but they are good enough.

I read or heard that they raised like 120 million from donors recently for the purpose of the buyout. Don't know if true, haven't tried to verify.
But this should be interesting. Personally, I hope they choose to jump ship and the B1G takes em, though I doubt it

Brett McMurphy Article
Quotes that stood out to me:
If Florida State can find an escape hatch out of the ACC’s Grant of Rights, it could trigger the exits of Clemson, Miami, North Carolina, NC State, Virginia and Virginia Tech, sources said.
The Big Ten, which adds USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington in 2024, “would love” to get programs in the talent-rich Southeast, sources said.
Besides FSU, the most likely schools to leave the ACC and challenge the Grant of Rights are Clemson, Miami and North Carolina, sources said. If several schools are fleeing the ACC, independent Notre Dame — which is an ACC member in all sports but football — might reconsider its commitment to the league.
The Seminoles are confident there's an escape path that would allow them to leave the league, sources said.
The Big Ten also has “significant interest” in several ACC schools, most notably Florida State, sources said.
Florida State is not an AAU member. However, AAU membership is “not a requirement,” to join the Big Ten, a Big Ten source told Action Network. “Maybe (AAU status) is a preference, but solid academics are measured a variety of ways,” the source said.
“There’s no way the SEC wants FOX and the Big Ten to plant a flag in Florida by adding FSU and Miami,” a source told Action Network.

I question their timing. Of the P4, the B1G might be interested because it would give them a team in the Florida market, but they’ve got to ingest their latest assimilation. The SEC has UF. Their interest would be defensive, but they prefer to grow in pairs, and they too are ingesting recent acquisitions.

i think the biggest joke is the so called bidding war or game of risk for FSU between the SEC and BiG..
Majority of the players will still sign in southern schools.. Schools already pull players from FL on a yearly basis.. FSU and Clemson could both go to the BiG..it doesn't take anything away from the SEC or make the BiG some huge monster that can say checkmate IMO, of course

The real battle is between FOX/NBC/CBS and ESPN. I don't think FSU and Clemson going to the Big Ten would impact anyone else's recruiting much.

I’ve long thought the real revenue generators would get tired of subsidizing the others. But I guess as long as the total pot is large enough they are willing to do so.
Would USC and UCLA have been fine sharing with the other PAC 12 schools if the total PAC 12 revenue had been close to that of the B1G or SEC? I think so. On the other hand I think OU and Texas would still have gone to the SEC…even if the Big 12’s pot was larger than tbe SEC’s!

^^ THIS ^^
ESPN is already getting the FSU/Clemson media revenue. They're not gonna want to give it up to FOX, CBS, NBC.
