Exactly
I don't see either ever leaving the ACC. The money will be good enough as ESPN will continue to prop up the ACC.
Why do you think the B1G and B1GN need to transition away from the guaranteed $ of carriage deals in favor of the high churn, fickle streaming model when they have the best of both right now? It's the wrong move to focus on streaming alone. Instead, you want to diversify, exactly like the B1G has which is to (i) sell media rights to ESPN/FOX, who then negotiate record carriage deals with cable companies, deals with streaming platforms, and pay the conference record $, (ii) have your own network (B1GN) to also get your own carriage deals with cable companies and streaming platforms, like YouTube TV, Hulu, Sling TV, etc., and (iii) have your own standalone streaming service (B1GN+) to sell monthly subscriptions. This model is similar to what the big networks are doing with having carriage deals on linear and streaming platforms and now adding their standalone streaming services like ESPN+, Peacock, Paramount+, HBO Max, etc. to further monetize content.
