A Lot of Smoke
WarHog38 • 12/17/23 04:44 PM ET
There is a big disconnect with "THE BOARD' and UVA governance

I think you are right and it is another reason I think the ultimate TV end

Your thinking has two major.......

Mine is an opinion, just like yours
VTCALS72 • 12/20/23 04:23 PM ET
Several things.....

If the schools embrace the pay-to-play model, then it could keep the number
VTHokie2000 • 12/20/23 09:17 PM ET
Common sense, as you used it

Maybe we have identified.....

WarHog38 • 12/19/23 12:46 PM ET
2036 certainly seems a long way off, but it is closer than you think.
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 08:07 AM ET
Why do you assume the Big XII will get an even better contract next time?
hokieZ71 • 12/19/23 09:00 AM ET
IMHO you nailed it.
VTCALS72 • 12/19/23 12:54 PM ET
The Big XII will hang around. That's a great draw for them.
hokieZ71 • 12/19/23 01:02 PM ET
IMHO the B12 will not be
VTCALS72 • 12/19/23 01:11 PM ET
You said it in your post. the current B12 contract was awarded before
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 09:07 AM ET
Oh no, you mistake me
hokieZ71 • 12/19/23 11:00 AM ET
I'm basing my assumptions that the ACC loses their top brands. Currently,
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 11:15 AM ET
That may be exactly right but without TV revenues
VTCALS72 • 12/21/23 04:59 PM ET
I hope you guys stay together in perpetuity. **
Big12 guy • 12/21/23 05:15 PM ET
Couple of things......
2hhoop3 • 12/19/23 04:06 PM ET
Kind of agree with that, but when there is a KU basketball or K-State
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 05:13 PM ET
As you've been asked.....
2hhoop3 • 12/19/23 05:26 PM ET
If you don't know, then i guess you can only dispute the reporting
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 05:30 PM ET
As you've been told before.....
2hhoop3 • 12/19/23 05:41 PM ET
Believe what you want. I telling you that until i see proof otherwise
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 05:45 PM ET
And all I told you....
2hhoop3 • 12/19/23 05:51 PM ET
haha, I'll take the hit then, as we have discussed those things before -
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 05:58 PM ET
Sorry but I can say as a vertically challenged American
VTCALS72 • 12/19/23 01:09 PM ET
Haha, great analogy. I'd be willing to bet my bottom dollar
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 01:13 PM ET
How does that matter at all?
VTCALS72 • 12/19/23 01:16 PM ET
WRT time zones, the East Coast is considered to be the most valuable time

Who said good college football carries any weight in this at all.**
VTCALS72 • 12/19/23 01:13 PM ET
There may be more competition, but there is also a good chance that more
VTHokie2000 • 12/19/23 11:51 AM ET
I think that is why Yormark has UConn on the radar. **
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 12:06 PM ET
That would be a good reason for the Big XII to want to add UConn.
VTHokie2000 • 12/19/23 12:45 PM ET
It's the NE basketball that has Yourmark's attention. Specifically, the

Temple is known for its basketball program (and sponsors football) which is
VTHokie2000 • 12/19/23 01:05 PM ET
No one wants Temple, they bring nothing. They will always be
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 01:12 PM ET
FWIW Temple is the 6th most winningest men's DI basketball program behind

As a fan, no thank you. No stadium, have to go pretty far back to find
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 05:17 PM ET
I will say you have an interesting definition if you think the late 2010s
VTHokie2000 • 12/19/23 06:43 PM ET
Even if the expansion members do generate ratings, they may or may not come
VTHokie2000 • 12/19/23 10:37 AM ET
No doubt. Losing Texas and OU was dramatic, as will losing the top 2 to 4
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 10:49 AM ET
WRT the future of the ACC, I am not sold either way. 8 schools may want to
VTHokie2000 • 12/19/23 10:57 AM ET
None of us knows how this plays out. **
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 10:58 AM ET
The other wild card in all of this is the potential pay-to-play.
VTHokie2000 • 12/19/23 11:25 AM ET
Pay to play has the the potential to blow all of this out of the water.
Big12 guy • 12/19/23 11:29 AM ET
Uva board?
MrFantastic! • 12/19/23 01:05 AM ET
I Don't Think the SEC Likes FSU
WarHog38 • 12/19/23 02:22 AM ET
Fsu recruits well now.
MrFantastic! • 12/19/23 05:43 AM ET
The SEC doesn't need them **
VaTechHokiesACC • 12/19/23 02:58 AM ET
big picture, SEC dont need anyone right now
DMV Gobbler • 12/19/23 08:50 AM ET
i could see the B12 and ACC merging
MrBayAreaHokie • 12/18/23 11:22 PM ET
I don't see the advantages to a merger
obguthr • 12/19/23 04:58 PM ET
As long as conference champs get CFP byes, I don't see it.

RJHokie • 12/17/23 10:43 PM ET

VaTechHokiesACC • 12/17/23 11:07 PM ET
Explain how the GOR goes away with only 2 schools leaving. Details please.

WarHog38 • 12/19/23 01:18 AM ET
First of all I now many of your posts have been pro VT, so your intentions
Stech • 12/19/23 10:40 AM ET
It Is All In the Math
WarHog38 • 12/19/23 12:28 PM ET
Now you are getting closer to what could happen, the majority leave before

Please tell us how in a contract with the Conference, ESPN has control?

Obviously the ACC Front Office Will Fight Tooth & Nail

Very true; but ESPN could probably dissolve it. The Bylaws state

ESPN Pays the Bills

ESPN doesn't pay the bills. ESPN Pays for purchased content. They purchased

If it was up to UNC, the ACC would only stretch from GT to UMd. If that.

Disagree. 2012 was likely our best chance to get into the SEC
Hokie Fiji • 12/18/23 11:38 AM ET
2012 was a PR and political non-starter. VT wasn't leaving the ACC after
