Marcello is linked to Finebaum and ESPN. There policy is Sgt Schultz, "I know nothing, I hear nothing, I see nothing, all is well", even though they know damn well what is going on.

Finebaum was insisting that Texas and Oklahoma would never join the SEC until it was announced and then it was, "Of Course."

If they work for media firm which has a stake in the game they always play dumb.

And even though Marcello is not directly linked to ESPN to may knowledge they are the ones pumping him up.

Creating a Twitter Storm can apparently net you $10M in unequal revenue distribution

I don't think schools like Wake Forest, Boston College, Syracuse, etc. would agree to an unequal revenue-sharing model unless there was actually some bite behind the Mag-7's bark. Maybe dissolving the conference and nulling the contract/GOR is an actual possibility.

If the contract/GOR can be dissolved, why would FSU and Clemson stay in the ACC at that point? The extra couple million those programs would generate due to an unequal revenue-sharing model is peanuts compared to the $75M they could make in the SEC.

If there is nothing in the contract that assures "ALL members receive EQUAL distributions until 2036'...", and instead says something like, "as much as X $ in revenue to be distributed to current 15 ACC members", that's a huge difference in interpretation.

Unequal revenue sharing wouldn't be the direct TV money, it would be CFP money, bowl money, NCAA units. The justification for granting the rights was the TV contract, so unequal sharing of other conference revenues wouldn't impinge on the original justification for the conference members to grant their rights to the ACC.

The CFP money seems likely to be the biggest slice of money, and so you could have pro forma equivalent "eat what you kill" shares for football and basketball without the actual money amounts being anything close to equal.

Y'all are going to be so disappointed when the actual proposal the presidents approve is announced and it's like a $10M max if a school wins the NCAAT and CFP in the same year but in reality it's like a +/- $2M change per year.

Based on last year's distributions... $10M is only 2% of total share. So if the bottom 4 teams made 1.5% less...(total of 6% to give to top)... then the top 2 teams could earn 2% more while the number 3 and 4 teams could earn 1% additional.

It's not that far out of the realm. The bottom 4 would still earn as much as B12.

Yeah, because I’m sure even a school like Clemson can reasonably expect to be in a NYD playoff and clinch an NCAAT bid for 13 straight years… just to earn 50 million (with the Doctor Evil pinky)!!!!

The plan is for 7-8 schools leaving and monopolizing the ND games. They just have to get the money to work.

So the more successful you are, the more money you get. The more money you get, the more success you have. The more success you have, the more more money you get, etcetera etcetera etcetera

This is a vicious cycle that is not sustainable for anybody who falls behind early. The rich will keep getting richer and poor keep getting poorer until the whole thing collapses.

If there is a direct correlation then it’s weird that upsets happen at all.

And isn’t this the same as “you win and you sell tickets” or “you win and you get elevated to a better conference”? UCF hint hint UCF hint hint

It's a movie reference. The Magnificent Seven are a group of gunfighters who work for much less than they're worth on the open market.

The Magnificent Seven was based on a Japanese movie called the Seven Samurai.

I thought it had something to do with dwarfs

Hold onto your American britches. The Magnificent Seven, the original was based upon a Kurosawa film called the Seven Samurai. That is true. But did you know that Star Wars was based upon another of Kurosawa's films called The Hidden Fortress? Konichiwa Obe-wan San! And while both are good, Roshomon is my favorite. It's a matter of the point of view, literally.

And the Sergio Leone spaghetti western, A Fistful of Dollars, starring Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef is based on Kurosawa's film, Yojimbo. That said, while the west has borrowed many of his plots, Kurosawa did base his film Throne of Blood on Shakespeare's Macbeth

Ran was an adaptation of King Lear. So Kurosawa had two homages to the Bard.
