Yep. That's what VT and ACC fans should fear. They aren't getting primo

slots on ABC/ESPN now. Losing CBS and picking Texas & Oklahoma up further squeezes opportunities.

Help me understand. Why would either the SEC or Big10 take another school?

plus remember..the media companies pull the strings and don't

I think they are done until the next swarm of growth is required
tallahasseehokie • 03/28/24 07:50 PM ET
Because explosive organic growth is over, consolidation through M&A next**

It’s actually pretty simple. P2 currently only covers half the country
HokieAl • 03/27/24 08:49 PM ET
You’re forgetting that they’re also competing with each other
Marooned • 03/27/24 08:09 PM ET
They are better off waiting for the desperation to be at peak level**
Seikoh_04 • 03/27/24 06:39 PM ET
Notre Dame, Clemson, and FSU would all be TV draws.

The B10 has an inferiority complex wrt the SEC.
Truthahn • 03/28/24 01:42 PM ET
lol. That doesn’t make a bit of sense. **
reestuart • 03/29/24 12:56 AM ET
Why?
Pride_and_Joy • 03/28/24 03:52 PM ET
yeah, nobody is leaving the Big Ten by choice.**
reestuart • 03/29/24 02:51 PM ET
It is about markets
Hokie1992 • 03/27/24 10:43 PM ET
That’s what I said. Viewership and geography. **
Pride_and_Joy • 03/27/24 11:31 PM ET
That is Virginia Techs problem
Hokie1992 • 03/28/24 06:47 AM ET
If not for the GOR,
Pride_and_Joy • 03/28/24 07:35 AM ET
I agree
Hokie1992 • 03/28/24 07:46 AM ET
Yeah, I was assuming they would compete for the markets
Pride_and_Joy • 03/28/24 07:51 AM ET
That’s where the six hour radius matters
Hokie1992 • 03/28/24 08:06 AM ET
If it means more money for them, why not?**
VTFan29 • 03/27/24 05:08 PM ET
But it doesn't
Seikoh_04 • 03/27/24 06:38 PM ET
I wouldn't say so. There are untapped TV markets those conferences
VTFan29 • 03/27/24 07:56 PM ET
Those untapped markets aren't making the ACC enough money**
Seikoh_04 • 03/27/24 08:05 PM ET
Or the ACC doesn't know what it has and agreed to a contract that
VTFan29 • 03/27/24 08:07 PM ET
The Big Ten has 3 OTA networks, FS1, FS2, and the BTN. They have plenty
reestuart • 03/27/24 06:44 PM ET
The SEC has two OTA networks, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN News, and the SECN
EDGEMAN • 03/28/24 06:40 AM ET
SEC only has ABC now. Big Ten has Fox, NBC, and CBS. Everything else
reestuart • 03/28/24 09:17 AM ET
The ACC has the WB and ABC
EDGEMAN • 03/28/24 09:45 AM ET
Didn't know they lost CBS
EDGEMAN • 03/28/24 09:18 AM ET
Yep. That's what VT and ACC fans should fear. They aren't getting primo ◄
reestuart • 03/28/24 09:25 AM ET
Which furthers the idea that VT needs to get better in football ASAP!
EDGEMAN • 03/28/24 09:44 AM ET
VT needs more people to care about watching football ASAP
Seikoh_04 • 03/28/24 09:57 AM ET
$20M a year deficit.... FFS we bought off on this
