There has been a lot of chatter that the ACC was willing to take a revenue cut in negotiations for better exposure of ACC athletics. You have as much information as I do, so to state as a fact that it was just thrown in there is of no greater value than the chatter.

At the end of the day, the ACC is touting this as a major coup for the ACC and its exposure, but it's not--this is a major coup for UNC and its exposure. This shouldn't be surprising to anyone.
