One estimate is that ESPN can save 1 billion dollars if they do not renew ACC contract in 2026.
Once again, Junk Yard is just making it up. Where do you get this from? Also, do you have any idea how much money it costs to start a network? This is not like starting a cleaning company. Bottom line is that Clemson's case to leave the ACC stinks.
Who said anything about starting a network. Disney is losing money. ESPN will still be broadcasting SEC. When FSU and Clemson leave the ACC which they will by 2025,and probably UNC as well. ESPN will not want to pay out a out a billion dollars for the rest of the sorry teams left.
You may think it stinks, but it will be settled and FSU, Clemson and UNC will be adios. They are not going to stay on a sinking ship.
