Let it Play Out

Chip Kelly is right, maybe we have one big conference with regional divisions. At some point it may be more attractive to play for an ACC team that has any easier path to the playoff than Texas, Tennessee, UCLA or Oregon who now will have a very tough path to get there. At some point the bottom of these superconferences will have zero chance to succeed and with that goes the fans and TV coverage. Then the big boys will not want to share with these perrenial losers and kick them out. This is all like the bogus claims that adding Boston College and Syracuse would deliver those two markets who both likely have less interest.

Easier path for the playoffs in lower division? sure.**
VTCALS72 • 08/05/23 10:38 AM ET
Never thought Syracuse added a lot of viewers. **
Hokie`79 • 08/05/23 09:49 AM ET
You new what I meant
Hokdawg • 08/05/23 01:56 PM ET
What options do they have?**
HokiesACC2004 • 08/05/23 02:41 AM ET
Zero! To be honest.
MaryWashGrad • 08/05/23 08:51 AM ET
The only hope is if basketball starts getting paid like football, but...
EDGEMAN • 08/05/23 08:52 AM ET
Why? ACC isn’t the best conference any longer in bball.**
97Hokie • 08/05/23 09:46 AM ET
We're about to drop to #3 as ESPN keeps promoting SEC basketball.**
EDGEMAN • 08/05/23 09:47 AM ET
A conference does not......
2hhoop3 • 08/05/23 10:08 AM ET
When the premier sports channel keeps hyping one conference over another...
EDGEMAN • 08/05/23 11:36 AM ET
Not a lot......
2hhoop3 • 08/05/23 11:46 AM ET
We disagree, promotion especially by the broadcasters
VTCALS72 • 08/05/23 10:40 AM ET
Exactly!**
EDGEMAN • 08/05/23 11:36 AM ET
That gives me.....
2hhoop3 • 08/05/23 10:43 AM ET
There is also a good chance that B1G TV contract falls apart upon renewal.

A wise man once said . . .**
MikeVT85 • 08/05/23 12:11 AM ET
They have territory to pull from. We are surrounded by the BIG and SEC.
VT20 • 08/04/23 10:20 PM ET
Are you in the "bring in the Pac-4 scraps before the MWC takes them" camp?
EDGEMAN • 08/04/23 10:06 PM ET
If UCF does as well as I’m thinking they won’t leave B12 for ACC
tallahasseehokie • 08/05/23 12:59 AM ET
UCF isn'r moving the needle **
HokiesACC2004 • 08/05/23 02:42 AM ET
They moved it enough to become a survivor
tallahasseehokie • 08/05/23 04:45 PM ET
Neither are any of the Pac-10 left-overs**
EDGEMAN • 08/05/23 08:39 AM ET
I don’t know what camp I’m in. I’d love to see the ACC survive but don’t
97Hokie • 08/04/23 10:24 PM ET
Does ESPN own content it doesn't air? If not, then...
EDGEMAN • 08/05/23 06:27 AM ET
Definitely bake sale time.
Pylons • 08/04/23 11:12 PM ET
The Acc can survive. If they stick together
HokiePail • 08/04/23 10:25 PM ET
It’s an arms race
OrangeHokieFan • 08/05/23 08:19 AM ET
they will not stick together. FSU will find a way to pull out even if it
lazarus1 • 08/05/23 12:11 AM ET
Agree that the Big 10 won’t be an option
tallahasseehokie • 08/05/23 01:07 AM ET
The ACC can survive if it finds another $50 mil a school.**
97Hokie • 08/04/23 10:50 PM ET
If they stay together they ll get more money.**
HokiePail • 08/04/23 10:56 PM ET
No, we will not. The TV deal isn’t changing those numbers
OrangeHokieFan • 08/05/23 08:19 AM ET
They pretty much have to, the GOR all but ensures it**
Vienna_Hokie • 08/04/23 10:36 PM ET
Do you mean everyone except F$U?
