Here's my issue with any rumors of ANY ACC schools going to the BigXII
Maroon Baboon • 07/18/24 03:10 PM ET
it's selling equity, not really borrowing, normally
MrBayAreaHokie • 07/19/24 01:52 PM ET
I'd imagine it would have to be structured
Vippie1 • 07/20/24 08:37 AM ET
What if a large portion of PE in the B12 was used to start a B12
Big12 guy • 07/20/24 09:45 AM ET
I think establishing a Big 12 network is going to be a must.

i do not disagree with you, but it does create a possible exit strategy

I’m not sure exactly what’s going on but chatter has been escalating
PFHokie • 07/19/24 09:35 AM ET
Standing pat won’t be an option if ESPN doesn’t extend the media rights

before any ACC team would go to the Big12

I found a site that had a 4 year attendance + ranking of teams from 19-22

ACC does not need to throw more money at Clem & F$U.
Atlee Hokie • 07/20/24 01:14 PM ET
Throwing more money......
2hhoop3 • 07/20/24 01:19 PM ET
"throw more money to fsu and clem. ?? Whose money?

I think some are missing something here. If the ACC loses FSU/CU,

Oh come on, look in the mirror

Do you acknowledge the fact the Big 12, without it's bluebloods has not

Big12 guy • 07/19/24 11:23 PM ET
I don't see it that way at all
VTCALS72 • 07/20/24 08:56 AM ET
The thing is, I don't think that the B12 is better than the ACC minus
Big12 guy • 07/20/24 09:37 AM ET
You are still missing the point I am trying to make
VTCALS72 • 07/20/24 11:51 AM ET
What has FSU done other than last year?
cvillehokie92 • 07/19/24 02:09 PM ET
Exactly.
VPI 1924 • 07/19/24 03:21 PM ET
They won it all in 2014. I don't remember reading how far back

Not throw more money at F$U and CU, but throw more money at the schools...

I have a hard time understanding why ESPN would not continue the contract

Maybe ESPN (or Disney or now the NFL) is looking at it simply as which
VTHokie2000 • 07/19/24 12:40 PM ET
I think ESPN has a deadline of Feb. 2025 to opt in to the 2027-36 years.

Jim Phillips Created That February, 2025, Deadline For ESPN to Re-Sign

Texas and OU announced June 2021 they were joining the SEC in July 2024
hokieZ71 • 07/18/24 06:23 PM ET
If I remember correctly
dayooper • 07/18/24 09:02 PM ET
yes, 2025 originally. ESPN kicked in $100M (savings from LHN) to move it
daveinop • 07/19/24 07:48 AM ET
It Was Brett Yormark Becoming Big-12 Commissioner on August 1, 2022
WarHog38 • 07/18/24 10:39 PM ET
True. And ESPN rewarded the Big XII with a contract for allowing it.**
hokieZ71 • 07/18/24 09:09 PM ET
I believe they also had to pay $100M or so for 1 year early exit.**

It's a HUGE gamble.
CoolJCPA • 07/18/24 03:27 PM ET
So there isn’t much equity to begin with?
Hokie1992 • 07/19/24 08:23 AM ET
Eliminates future big boom for the teams in the league. Big risk.
