Dunno. I just think the whole thing is a lose-lose for college sports fans.

And while I want the Hokies to land on our feet of course, I've been a college sports fan long before I was a Hokie. My hope is that VT admin is considering all scenarios and working all contacts. At this point, I hope we end up in the Big Ten unless some sort of real reform occurs like the 70/80 team Super League that would restore regionalism and old rivalries hopefully (but I realize that no one in real power is supporting this). OR, something truly revolutionary like a PL relegation and promotion system. Either of these two options I would support.

Can someone remind me; are we rooting for FSU & Clemson to blow up the ACC?
UpstateSCHokie • 04/06/24 12:59 PM ET
Opinions? 1 Is the ACC contract as bad as the leaks suggest?
TDVick • 04/08/24 03:08 PM ET
do we know for sure that is not a standard component of more ESPN contracts
VTCALS72 • 04/12/24 08:47 AM ET
2. By what scenario could the university representatives and ACC mgt, NOT
TDVick • 04/08/24 03:25 PM ET
I don't think this deal was a horrible as you want to make it.
VTCALS72 • 04/12/24 08:54 AM ET
The ACC must fully die in order for schools like VT to move
HokieAl • 04/07/24 10:02 PM ET
I hope FSU loses badly in court and off the court as well **
OrlandoHokie • 04/06/24 09:29 PM ET
I kind of just want to get it over with.**
Air-Ic • 04/06/24 07:06 PM ET
Don't be hasty
MrBayAreaHokie • 04/07/24 08:59 PM ET
I probably disagree with most on this.

What 133921Hokie said
INSIDE99 • 04/08/24 12:20 AM ET
Yep. Go Noles. So much damage and impairment seems to have been done that
TDVick • 04/08/24 03:31 PM ET
Almost every eventuality with no ACC is bad for VT
SpeakToDamien • 04/06/24 11:33 PM ET
Wait. Now I like the ACC, but
Big12 guy • 04/07/24 11:53 AM ET
Going to court was not the right thing to do though
Marooned • 04/06/24 09:47 PM ET
I'm not sure what leverage they had to negotiate an early exit.
Maroon Baboon • 04/07/24 01:04 AM ET
Let me give you my honest answer inside…
Stech • 04/06/24 05:34 PM ET
Especially FSU promoting ever negative thing they can
VTCALS72 • 04/06/24 04:42 PM ET
Hokie fans absolutely need to hope the ACC survives
SpeakToDamien • 04/06/24 03:17 PM ET
I tend to agree with this because
Vippie1 • 04/07/24 10:09 AM ET
The P2 may not be sustainable

Dunno. I just think the whole thing is a lose-lose for college sports fans. ◄
Maroon Baboon • 04/06/24 01:24 PM ET
A lot of questions about the 70/80 team Super League...
Old Line Hokie • 04/06/24 03:45 PM ET
Personally, I believe VT benefits from stability in the ACC**
VT ChemE 1986 • 04/06/24 01:01 PM ET
But stability means FSU and Clemson staying in the ACC?**
UpstateSCHokie • 04/06/24 01:03 PM ET
Not really.
VPI 1924 • 04/06/24 04:33 PM ET
Them leaving is not a huge problem as long as the remainder
VT ChemE 1986 • 04/06/24 01:09 PM ET
Losing your top two brands isn't a problem? Especially come television
LonghornHokie • 04/06/24 01:13 PM ET
It sure isn’t ideal, but the alternative may be worse
VT ChemE 1986 • 04/06/24 01:16 PM ET
The alternative being the conference completely breaks apart &VT doesnt get
UpstateSCHokie • 04/06/24 01:21 PM ET
I am not, the XII does nothing for either east or west coast teams.
VTCALS72 • 04/06/24 04:51 PM ET
Everything depends on the ACC contract
Big12 guy • 04/06/24 01:36 PM ET
But will enough people care?
VTCALS72 • 04/06/24 04:58 PM ET
There is some truth to that comment,
Big12 guy • 04/06/24 07:21 PM ET
What you are missing
VTCALS72 • 04/06/24 08:26 PM ET
Toledo plays in a regional conference,
Big12 guy • 04/06/24 08:44 PM ET
Slumming it? That is a new low for you
VTCALS72 • 04/06/24 09:09 PM ET
The B12 stopped being regional
Big12 guy • 04/06/24 09:33 PM ET
If VT, Pitt, NC State, and Louisville joined the B12
GALOISGROUP • 04/07/24 11:54 AM ET
We just disagree
VTCALS72 • 04/07/24 12:15 PM ET
If ND maybe
GALOISGROUP • 04/07/24 02:14 PM ET
Sure, if only 3 teams leave the ACC then pick em
VTCALS72 • 04/07/24 04:01 PM ET
Just discussing different things
GALOISGROUP • 04/07/24 04:24 PM ET
You are looking at it differently than me
VTCALS72 • 04/07/24 05:42 PM ET
And I am of the opinion that the 4 corner schools, just like Stanford/Cal
