ESPN decided to opt into an extension of its current controversial TV media grant of rights deal with the ACC until 2036. This 20 year deal originated in 2016 and pays ACC schools well below market value compared to the media deals stuck by the Big Ten and SEC. Because of this deal, schools like Florida State and Clemson filed separate lawsuits against the ACC in an effort to leave the conference.
Now it appears all parties are stuck together for the long haul. And it seems to be more difficult for these teams to flea to the Big Ten or SEC if they wish to do so. However the ACC may have to make concessions to its marquee schools by giving them a larger cut of the pie compared to less valuable schools in the conference. Stay tuned because this may cause a Civil War among ACC teams.
Speaking of lawsuits, two Wisconsin Badger football players are embroiled in two separate lawsuits that could shake up the college football landscape. One suit tackles eligibility status and the other involves the transfer portal and how signed revenue share contracts are handled as revenue sharing becomes a major issue in college sports weeks from now.
Finally, we make our weekend picks for Big Ten basketball as there are some incredible matchups.
Join us for a comprehensive analysis and bold insights that could change your perspective on college sports! It is all right here on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.
