My sense is there are folks in the AAC who view this as a chance to upgrade from UConn.

jarmond gets mentioned as an outside the box candidate by the athletic:
The Outside-the-Box Hires (Martin Jarmond, John Wildhack, Bernadette McGlade, Ben Tario)
Recently hired at UCLA, Jarmond became the first Black AD with the Bruins and at Boston College, which he led for three years after spending more than a decade in the Big Ten. He has been a hit everywhere he has been, and he learned the business under the influential Gene Smith. Would age and experience work against him? He’ll be only 41 in November and is entering just his fourth year as the head of a department.
What could work in Jarmond’s favor — along with Wildhack’s — is the fact that Syracuse chancellor Kent Syverud is the chair of the ACC’s board of directors. Syverud interviewed Jarmond for the Orange AD job in 2015 that ended up going to Mark Coyle. When Coyle left for Minnesota less than a year later, Syverud hired Wildhack, who, as a former executive vice president of programming and production for ESPN, was considered as outside-the-box as it gets back in 2016.

You are off by a year, but otherwise correct. The GOR was extended with the extension of the ESPN deal (I completely forgot).

CowboyEagle22 {l Wrote}:If the reports are true that Texas and Oklahoma are going to notify the league they will not renew their grant of rights, it may mean they are looking for a negotiated settlement before making a commitment to the SEC. The GOR runs through 2025, so the only point of sending the letter is to open talks about a departure. Alternatively, they may be looking to change their deal with the league. Supposedly their exit fee will be $150 million combined and they will be stuck in the league for two years. The threat here is they will just wait out the TV deal and bolt after 2025 leaving the other schools with nothing.
The news also claims that the remaining eight schools agreed to find other homes as their first option. That sounds like an odd thing, but it could be that other schools have been looking for an exit too. It would be very strange if schools like Oklahoma State and Kansas ended up in the Mountain West.
I wonder if the ACC will take a run at WVU. It is not longer about cable boxes, but streaming subs. Rivalries make good content, so WV - Pitt, WV - Louisville, WV - VT and even games with BC and Syracuse add value.
