What you are missing is ACC media revenues are relatively flat through 2035 while
The B1G, SEC, AND Big 12’s are increasing with inflation and live sports demand. The ACC gets $17M per school for Tier one rights and another $10-15M for the ACC network per year based on cable distribution. If cord cutting happens over the next 10 years, ACC Network revenue could go down.

This is not a matter of what’s accretive or not. It is a matter of the FMV of P5 schools going up and the ACC schools not being compensated in line with it. All the more reason for Utah to fear because if 6-8 ACC schools decided to join the Big 12 in 2032 while the remaining 6-8 got split between the ACC and SEC, there are no spots left.

It is extremely likely because of demand and inflation, the amount available in the Big 12, could be $60M in revenue per year per school in the next TV deal in 2032. No ACC team is waiting 4-5 more years to get that. Further, if streaming dominates in 7-8 years, the ACC network may not have the same value. All parties, including ESPN, may decide its best to go their separate ways.
