[QUOTE="Greensboro, post: 1212339, member: 7536"] this, the B1G is winning the money wars, at some point this matters to ND. Don't remember the details on the ACC deal, but I'm sure there is an out at some point & MD made the move despite the money & negotiated it down... The money separation between the B1G & ACC is still growing. ND obviously has there reasons for wanting to be independent, one of them is money/NBC exclusive & another is the whole independent thing. This new contract shifts the money more in favor of the B1G, in 6 yrs when the next contract comes up B1G money gap may grow again. At the same time, how comfortable does the ACC look if we poach UNC & VA or Clemson, GT, FSU. Big12 is still a mess, is there enough money Texas is in play, I don't know? Would the B1G expand above 16? ND doesn't want to end up in the ACC that the B1G has just poached the 2 schools of there choice. So I think ACC shake up is whenever Delaney wants it & with increasing money ND should be rethinking its position already. [/QUOTE]
