that has taken over "NCAA" football. I don't watch a lot of big games now as it is because I just don't care. I didn't follow Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma before ... I certainly don't now. If I want to watch a professional sports league with professional players, the NFL is available to me every thurs, sunday, and Monday during football season.

I decided to exercise the 5-hour calculus part of my brain and do some math -- CobbCountyHokie Jul 04, 2022 at 04:14 PM ET

Five Hour Calculus still = full body shiver 30 years later** -- ZekeVT Jul 04, 2022 at 08:25 PM ET

I decided to "excise" the 5-hour calculus part of my brain a long time ago.** -- wwhokie1 Jul 04, 2022 at 05:52 PM ET

The GoR is not about money -- 33laszlo99 Jul 04, 2022 at 05:49 PM ET

Since this case would likely be in federal court, it would be a jury trial.** -- tarheelblue Jul 04, 2022 at 08:08 PM ET

If true, that means anything could happen, depending on the jury.** -- Stech Jul 04, 2022 at 09:49 PM ET

Sadly, he's dead wrong about the $26M. -- daveinop Jul 04, 2022 at 05:25 PM ET

daveinop • 07/04/22 05:25 PM ET

He's wrong. If an ACC school jumps to the SEC and the media rights are $106 -- 133743Hokie Jul 04, 2022 at 04:52 PM ET

133743Hokie • 07/04/22 04:52 PM ET

Exactly. The GoR is misunderstood. -- Maroon Effect Jul 04, 2022 at 05:23 PM ET

Any plan that involves UNC is going to involve you know who. Not VT. -- Maroon Baboon Jul 04, 2022 at 04:50 PM ET

Maroon Baboon • 07/04/22 04:50 PM ET

To get UNC UNC insist they do not want VT and take UVA -- Mercury Jul 04, 2022 at 05:32 PM ET

Mercury • 07/04/22 05:32 PM ET

Agree. And it only takes one school to get the ball rolling. Let's go -- IB4TECH Jul 04, 2022 at 05:29 PM ET

IB4TECH • 07/04/22 05:29 PM ET

Correct. UVa trumps us in both SEC or BIG10 sadly. We fly solo** -- drb Jul 04, 2022 at 05:28 PM ET

Don't bet on me watching aTm/'Bama. There's a decent chance ... -- Atlee Hokie Jul 04, 2022 at 09:33 PM ET

Bingo... they will have fallout. HERE IS THE PROOF: -- jesuisvtguy Jul 04, 2022 at 06:12 PM ET

I already tapped out. I'm much happier without sports in general... -- MP4VT2004 Jul 04, 2022 at 05:57 PM ET

I watch SEC every weekend -- realityhokie Jul 04, 2022 at 05:19 PM ET

Yep. And a lot of others do as well** -- 133193Hokie Jul 04, 2022 at 08:00 PM ET

Even more revenue for VT -- TabbHokie Jul 04, 2022 at 04:28 PM ET

2hhoop3 • 07/04/22 05:05 PM ET

All conferences have a business year for tax purposes. During that period -- 133743Hokie Jul 04, 2022 at 05:25 PM ET

2hhoop3 • 07/04/22 05:35 PM ET

Yep. -- RJHokie Jul 04, 2022 at 04:43 PM ET

RJHokie • 07/04/22 04:43 PM ET

Its spelled out in the GOR. ACC gets departing teams media revenue each yr. -- 133743Hokie Jul 04, 2022 at 04:55 PM ET

133743Hokie • 07/04/22 04:55 PM ET

But wouldn't that be limited to a degree? -- Atlee Hokie Jul 04, 2022 at 05:40 PM ET

Atlee Hokie • 07/04/22 05:40 PM ET

No……it’s whatever VT is entitled to from whatever conference it belongs to. -- RJHokie Jul 04, 2022 at 05:49 PM ET

RJHokie • 07/04/22 05:49 PM ET

So, my understanding is correct. -- RJHokie Jul 04, 2022 at 05:11 PM ET

Unless their new conference is willing to subsidize them -- tarheelblue Jul 04, 2022 at 08:12 PM ET

Agreed. Posted on VT Scoop -- TabbHokie Jul 04, 2022 at 04:23 PM ET

TabbHokie • 07/04/22 04:23 PM ET

But SEC or B10 wouldn't be able to monetize new team's inventory... -- jesuisvtguy Jul 04, 2022 at 04:35 PM ET

jesuisvtguy • 07/04/22 04:35 PM ET

The schools leaving would buy out the GOR -- mrcaniac Jul 04, 2022 at 04:52 PM ET

mrcaniac • 07/04/22 04:52 PM ET

No, that's incorrect. If they are getting $106M from their new conference -- 133743Hokie Jul 04, 2022 at 05:29 PM ET
