Wild Theory On How The ACC Is Being SABOTAGED! Why It's Unlikely... ACC Coaches In ESPN's Top 10

Locked On ACC - Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

A wild report from X user Inside The Big 12 claims ESPN is working to broker a settlement that would allow Florida State and Clemson to leave the ACC any time they want, but only for a move to the SEC. Since ESPN has exclusive TV rights to both conferences and controls ACC Network and SEC Network, the theory explains that ESPN could easily provide this soft landing for FSU and Clemson while not losing any of their own revenue. Furthermore, letting Clemson and FSU make this switch would prompt ESPN to satisfy the ACC by agreeing to extend their TV contract through 2036.

Hosts Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs examine the theory but they aren’t buying it. For ESPN to broker this type of deal with likely result in them getting bombarded by lawsuits from the other ACC member schools and by FOX and the Big Ten. It sounds too convenient to be true. Alex and Kenton also break down an ESPN top 10 list of college football head coaches. Does the ACC have any representatives on the list?
