The fact that they are willing to walk away speaks volumes to me.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14550125810167470991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912392475909393471.post-34880866204617263712012-11-18T08:50:23.849-05:002012-11-18T08:50:23.849-05:00ESPN (and the ACC) have the right to renegotiate a...ESPN (and the ACC) have the right to renegotiate after any/every membership change.<br /><br />But please know that the money ESPN is giving the ACC is not going to decrease by losing Maryland.

DC/Baltimore is an enourmous TV market, that neither adding UConn or **Vomit** Lousiville can replace. But yes they will amply replace UMD's trashy fanbases.<br /> <br />So yes we will still have plenty of mouth breathing fans in the conference if we add UCOnn or UL but a smaller TV money. Contracts are a two way street, if we can re-negotiate for allowing ND to "Join" than it stands to reason that ESPN has that right as well.

All the good momentum from stabilizing this conference is now out the window. If this happend expect the rumor-mill of FSU/CU to the B12 to heat up follwoed by VT/NCSU to the SEC. <br /><br />If you could guarantee me that Maryland would be replaced with PSU that would be one thing, but the relity is it is going to be UConn.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14550125810167470991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912392475909393471.post-5795677417887169302012-11-17T18:32:02.535-05:002012-11-17T18:32:02.535-05:00I've been hearing a RUMOR that UnderArmor guy ...I've been hearing a RUMOR that UnderArmor guy Kevin Plank might pay the $50 mil to get this done.
