(59:22-1:00:30) Conclusion

The ACC plans to settle lawsuits with Clemson and Florida State, and the various boards are expected to approve the settlement on Tuesday.

Who came out on top? It sure seems like Clemson and Florida State (and North Carolina and Miami). The ACC has a set a sliding scale of buyout costs should a school want to leave the league, and the number gets very manageable just as the Big Ten’s current TV deal expires.

Does this mean there is an expiration date on this version of the ACC?

Lastly, Andy & Ari discuss Duke phenom Cooper Flagg and if he should consider staying another year in Durham.
