There's probably going to be a settlement in the ACC, and I assumed it would just be financial, and they'd throw a number at Floresa and Clemson, and they'd try to pay it, and that'd be the end of that. But it looks like people are trying to get a little more creative. This kind of bubbled up a couple nights ago. Ross Delinger at Yahoo had a really good story about it, and then the folks at ESPN chimed in yesterday, and Pete Nacos chimed in.

And now we've got... had a really good story about it. And then the folks at ESPN chimed in yesterday and Pete Nacos

chimed in. And now we've got a little clearer picture of what's going on. So I'll kind of break

it down for everybody. Basically, they would change the revenue sharing so that the schools that

get the best ratings,

like Clemson and Florida State, will get more money every year.

But that's not the big thing about this.

That's not the big news.

The big news is they're potentially going to change the date on the grant of rights,

which is the document that ties the media rights to the conference.

It's supposed to end in 2036 now.

It would end it in 2030 if what they're talking about goes through.

Now, Ari, what is the significance of the date June 30th, 2030?

Is that the day? there's no more CC?

No, that is, well, it could be.

It very well could be.

That could be the doomsday clock.

But that is the day the Big Ten television contract expires.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

So. So I stand by what I said initially then.

Exactly.
