That gap between the ending of the B12 and the ACC GOR is 8 years, the length of an entire media package, whether digital or cable or whatever those things look like in 2025.

Longer than that - the ACC grant of rights runs through June 2036.

But the point of my comment above is that, given that both are blue-chip basketball properties, the biggest difference between UNC and KU for expansion purposes is market reach. (Another difference is that UNC football, while often disappointing considering their resources, is not a dumpster fire.) The reason UNC isn't at the top of the list is the ACC GOR that runs into 2036.
