That's a pretty big paycheck for the ACC.

Without getting too deep into conspiracy theories, it seems they were part of the secret group that preferred to keep the Big 12 together.

Pull Utah out of the MWC, and weaken the Mountain network and the Conference at the same time.

Man, are we behind a giant 8-ball. $13 mil per year per school? Geezus, what we could do with that coin.....

TV markets are a big issue. The ACC has Boston, Miami, DC, Atlanta, among others.

We have BYU's national appeal among the LDS crowd, but now only part of SLC, a San Diego where Pac-10 games rate higher, Vegas, and some small outposts in Wyoming. Dallas-Ft Worth is a huge market but no one there cares about college sports.
