Wild Theory On How The ACC Is Being SABOTAGED! Why It's Unlikely... ACC Coaches In ESPN's Top 10
04/12/24 • 29 min
A wild report from X user Inside The Big 12 claims ESPN is working to broker a settlement that would allow Florida State and Clemson to leave the ACC any time they want, but only for a move to the SEC. Since ESPN has exclusive TV rights to both conferences and controls ACC Network and SEC Network, the theory explains that ESPN could easily provide this soft landing for FSU and Clemson while not losing any of their own revenue. Furthermore, letting Clemson and FSU make this switch would prompt ESPN to satisfy the ACC by agreeing to extend their TV contract through 2036.
Hosts Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs examine the theory but they aren’t buying it. For ESPN to broker this type of deal with likely result in them getting bombarded by lawsuits from the other ACC member schools and by FOX and the Big Ten. It sounds too convenient to be true. Alex and Kenton also break down an ESPN top 10 list of college football head coaches. Does the ACC have any representatives on the list?

What is the ACC's end game in their legal battles with FSU? ACC players to watch in transfer portal
What is the end game for the ACC in their legal battles against Florida State University? Should the conference consider settling sooner than later? In reality, the ACC needs to fight to protect their grant of rights for as long as possible because if that crumbles, an FSU exit could set a precedent for others to follow. Then, the conference would be in a terrible position for the renewal of their TV deal with ESPN. And even if the ACC sees settlement with FSU as an inevitability, they’d much rather settle from a position of strength.
Hosts Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs break down the significance of Florida’s State’s Tuesday win in court against the ACC. The Leon County, FL judge felt the ACC rushed to file first in North Carolina as a method of “forum shopping.” Donno and Gibbs take a look at what could be a crazy NCAA transfer portal window next week. The NCAA is no longer able to enforce transfer restrictions, meaning players are essentially free to jump from school to school as much as they like. What are the biggest needs for the top teams in the ACC, and which players can the conference not afford to lose?
