I heard an interview with the Syracuse AD today and in it he mentions something curious. Now, he may be spinning this to make the ACC look better, but here is the gist of it:

He discusses "multimedia rights" as being kept by the schools in the ACC deal while other conference deals the schools lose those rights which bumps the value to around 24-25 mil.

If this is true, I wonder (1) why this has not been reported elsewhere and (2) if true, would FSU, etc still want to jump to the Big12?

Anybody know anything about this?
