I keep going back to one thing with a lot of these realignment scenarios, particularly with the ACC. The top ACC teams (Clemson, FSU, Miami, etc) need to get into the P2 to keep up with those programs. The next level of teams would likely prefer to be in the #3 conference, but what's the difference in revenue?
On the other hand, the P2, ESPN and Fox don't need any of the ACC teams to make gobs of money. Is it financially worthwhile to them to buy them out of the ACC or buy the rest of the ACC off? If it wasn't worth buying OUT of the B12 for 3 years, how is the math different for Clemson/FSU/Miami or others over 10-12 years.
