Assuming the ACC exists.
it will until a few of the top football schools get offers from the B1G and the SEC

I think it will take court action to get around the rights clause, if that can be traversed at all.

Breaking news from Brett Mcmurphy. 

ACC will add Cal, Stanford and SMU in 2024.  SMU agrees to receive no media revenue for 7 years.  Cal and Stan will receive a reduced share.

Stanford might be better served to just go independent.

Hard to believe they bent over like that. No money for 7 years? A reduced share of a little bit of money?

Ouch. All to get into a conference that is going to fail.

If the B1G ever TRULY wants to make the move to grab Stanford as an enticement to Notre Dame, they're running out of time.

Absolutely. They would get on a lot of schedules. Cal too.

Could be.  And it could also be that it was never going to be an enticement for ND anyway.  But if Stanford actually accepts the ACC bid then it's a might have been that might never be.

Word is the Pac-10 turned down an offer from ESPN last year for $30M each.  They could have all stayed together and got the same or more money than they all got splitting up.  It will go down as one of classical blunders in college realignment history even if just would have only pushed out a breakup for 6 years.

I thought it was more like $35M each, but that might have been just for UCLA and USC.

Yeah we talked about that but I don't believe it for a second.  If they saw enough value in the PAC to offer $30M in Fall of 2022, then they would see enough value in the PAC to offer $30M in the summer of 2023.  Occam's razor at play here.

The truth is evident in the ratings-- nobody was watching PAC football.  There simply was not $30M/school worth of value there after USC and UCLA split.

Honestly this "$30M/school turned down" story sounds more like rumor-mongering from outside parties in order to sow discontent and mistrust among the PAC presidents, to hasten along the destruction of that conference.
