You're seriously gonna neg and report me cause your school still recording in 480p? The nerve.

This won’t happen but ACC and Pac-? should just join up and start another joint league. Then you reduce it to 4. Too much red tape for that to happen but it would be kinda cool to see.

The thing is each league used to have basically premier brands that kept the entire conference afloat. When USC bounces that basically means there is no pac 12, and the tv deal offers they getting basically show that.. cfb as we know it is over and controlled by tv deals and on road to nfl lite.. This seems hard for many to wrap their heads around

Florida State Taps JPMorgan for Equity Raise as ACC Decision Looms

Florida State is working with JPMorgan to explore how its athletic department, facing a $30M revenue gap, could raise capital via private equity.

Florida State University is working with JPMorgan Chase to explore how the school’s athletic department could raise capital from institutional funds, such as private equity, according to multiple people familiar with the plans.

PE giant Sixth Street is in advanced talks to lead a possible investment, said the people, who were granted anonymity because the specifics are private. Institutional money has poured into professional sports in recent years, from the NBA and global soccer to F1 and golf, but this would break new ground by entering the multibillion-dollar world of college athletic departments.

The school is considering a structure similar to many of those pro sports investments, where commercial rights are rolled into a new company, the private equity fund invests in that entity, and then recoups its money via future media/sponsorship revenue. That’s how Silver Lake structured its investment into the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team, and how CVC organized its $2.2 billion Spanish soccer deal with LaLiga.



The process comes as Florida State trustees and administrators publicly voice their concerns that the Seminoles, as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, are financially falling behind rival schools in the SEC and Big Ten. At a board meeting earlier in the week, Florida State’s president and athletic director both emphasized that barring a dramatic change in how the ACC distributes money, the school should explore opportunities to join other conferences. That would carry a $120 million exit fee.

A handful of FSU trustees and spokespeople didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment. Representatives for the athletic department, JPMorgan Chase and Sixth Street declined to comment.

I'm surprised a public university could even do this...

Breh, ACC is DEAD man walking.. I dont think people have full understanding that if you plan to compete in cfb there is no way you can with one conference getting 40 million more dollars annually while you are locked in for 20 years The writing is on the wall.. follow the money

Well follow the money also favors the acc surviving because there are only so many places acc teams can go and almost none can afford to exit.
