Reporter ponders if FSU, Clemson in SEC is cheaper for ESPN than keeping them in ACC

The talk of the town in college football as August 1 turned into August 2 -- and the Big Ten and Big 12 officially welcomed all of their new programs -- was the

 

"Here's a hypothetical: Is it better/cheaper for ESPN to pay for FSU + Clemson in the SEC than to pay for FSU + Clemson + Wake + BC et al in the ACC?" Baker wrote on X in response to Dodd. 

FSU and Clemson were most often connected to the SEC when the legal troubles with the ACC first started up but were then thought to be headed to the B1G before WildcatAuthority's Jason Scheer (and Greg Swaim) deemed them likely for the Big 12.

All we know is that what we know may be outdated soon. That Baker is even talking about the SEC adding FSU and Clemson means the conference that already allegedly denied those schools is still in the mix.

Welcome to Fact or Fiction Friday. Each Friday, I give our Facebook and message board fans an opportunity to ask the most intriguing questions in the Big 12 Conference, and I will tell you whether they come true or if they are set to fail. crack it open and see what we have in store this week.

The ACC Implodes At The End Of The Year And The Big 12 Adds 6-8 Schools

Fiction: As much as I would love for this to be true, I just don’t see the lawsuits between Florida State/Clemson and the ACC getting resolved by the time December comes around. One of the reasons is because both those schools have by August 15^th to notify the ACC if they plan to leave by the 2025-26 academic year. There are just too many moving parts or parts that aren’t moving fast enough, I should say, that are standing in the way of that. Do I think the ACC will implode at some point? Yes, but not this year. And when that happens, the Big 12 will make a move.

Yup. And there you have it. FSU & Clemson to the SEC. And then USF & UConn to the ACC. And that will be it for now imo…

OK, I have this friend who is relentlessly, and has been doing this for years now, saying that a depression level recession is in the wind for this year (bearing in mind that "this year" has been "the year" for over a decade). Why the enthusiasm for such? Because it would be his opportunity to say "I was right! I told you so! I called it!".  That simple. It's the opportunity to say, "I called it!".  That's all this is. In the heavily chummed waters of conference realignment, they're all hoping a nibble turns into a bite. 

 

 

Lemme get this straight..."it is believed that the network will have a crucial role in the future of the conference in college sports".  Well, ****, Sam...that's quite a gamblin' man out-in-front sort of statement, huh?! The very idea that ESPN - E S P N - would have a crucial role going forward! That constitutes breaking news! If this keeps up, I'm gonna have to start getting my inside-dope source material from Mr. Drye's sixth period P.E. class!
