That is his most effective leverage to get cash from ESPN and I hope he at least makes ESPN afraid of it.

But that would be a bluff, and both ESPN and the SEC know it. To be effective, your opponent has to believe there's a good chance that you are NOT bluffing.

Why is it a bluff? There are many things the ACC can and probably will do, such as:
Schedule a lot of neutral site games and sell them to Fox
Refuse to agree to an expansion of the college football playoffs without a cap on the number of teams that can come from one conference
Tell the SEC and ESPN that the three conferences will withdraw from the existing playoffs altogether in favor of their own playoffs unless the SEC agrees to limits that preserve the “collegiate model.”


Can you go replace Kevin White for me? You seem to understand these things better than everybody else in Durham. We need somebody with some sharp knives and no scruples about using them in charge of the ACC and its institutions right now.

Done. Nina King is now AD at Duke.
