Was Penn State considering moving to the ACC?
Interesting comments from Gene Smith as well as commentary on the whole concept:
Was the B1G right to fear Penn State leaving?
Quote:Yet I still don’t buy it. Not to accuse Smith of anything, but this seems more like running interference for your business partner’s bad deal (Rutgers and Maryland) than anything else. The additions were about TV markets and strengthening the value of the Big Ten Network. Even before they were added, the Big Ten could boast a TV payout lapping that of other leagues. I find it hard to believe Penn State would’ve given that up for what was at the time a pretty weak ACC football product and no conference network revenue to bank on to help make up the difference in base TV contract.
