And OSU would be a very solid pick up for the ACC.

I think that's pretty accurate.

While I understand the sentiment, I do think that many underestimate the product that Raycom gets.

It comes down to Swofford, and really the entire ACC, totally misunderstanding the function of a conference network.

I agree that this seems like a good system, but also agree that something this "complex" wouldn't probably get much steam in the ACC offices.

By allowing for Pods, which would mean that the brands in the SEC would play more frequently.

Eh, you could do something similar for NCAA Tournament money.

That would require semis, since you wouldn't play a round robin in a single "division"

I agree with the bit about how happy those in the ACC seem to be.

I think it would be a good exercise for everyone to put a definitive value on what we would consider sufficient for the new ACC deal. That way we can look and see how it compares.
