The GoR deal is with ESPN so nothing really changes. And there is no "buying out" like the conference exit fee.
Any money paid would be part of some sort of negotiation with the network to recover those rights.
The GoR is pretty looks like it assigns each school individually to the deal.
So the ACC could cease to exist and the GoR would still be there attached to those now 15 individual schools.
I'm not sure the B1G knows what it wants and hasn't for awhile.
They're so focused on making more money than the SEC, hoping that that will solve the problem that they keep adding side hustles.
Saturday double-headers
They will get tired of them
And they will like it until they relent on the Sunday thing
SEC does several Thursday-Saturday weekends in conference play in Baseball.
I actually kinda like it.
It wouldn't surprise me if Florida loses at least 5k in this upcoming $400M revision.
It's always been tight in the bleachers but butts are wider and Florida is getting hotter.
I used to hate sitting in the "cheap seats" in Sunshine Terrace (upper north endzone) but we sat there several games last season and having chairbacks plus room for air to flow sold me on those even though the perspective isn't as good as being on the sides.
And obviously, capacity doesn't mean anything if the fans don't come.
UCLA - Capacity: 92k; Average 41k (less than 9 of the new Big 12)
USC - Capacity: 77.7k, Average: 64k (less than Iowa State)
Semirelated, but I really hope Florida is heading to SLC a few days early to acclimate somewhat to the altitude.
First game of the year, they should have extra time.
