Some options from the Big XII, American, or perhaps some deal if ESPN gets the PAC12. If the ACC can get into third most revenue payouts, it would be the best I believe we can hope for. I think the SEC and B1G are going to be set for another round of contracts at this point. You never know, but I think so. If NBC makes ND happy, they probably will stay Independent for now. I'm hearing rumors that CBS will go hard after the Big XII. They have their CBS Sports Net to put games on in addition to the CBS broadcast, and they lost the SEC on Saturday. ESPN will get the Tier 3 on ESPN+. So if true, who wants the PAC12 remnants? ESPN might get them and their network since Larry Scott is gone, and put something together with us. We have to let it play out.

To me it seems obvious the ESPN is going to improve the ACC deal. -- ColumbusHokie Jul 13, 2022 at 07:24 AM ET

I'm starting to think the coast to coast thing will happen -- Victor Tango Jul 13, 2022 at 09:19 AM ET

ESPN will put the ACC together with the PAC12 or the Big XII. -- HOO86 Jul 13, 2022 at 10:36 PM ET

Coast to coast conference? No thanks! -- EDGEMAN Jul 13, 2022 at 09:08 AM ET

Agree. I think what is happening is the streaming services aren’t -- Femoyer Hokie Jul 13, 2022 at 09:33 AM ET

Non-revenue sports need to be regionalized. Create geographic divisions.** -- tarheelblue Jul 13, 2022 at 10:25 AM ET

tarheelblue • 07/13/22 10:25 AM ET

What happens if some of the geographic divisions only have 1-3 (maybe 4) -- VTHokie2000 Jul 13, 2022 at 05:28 PM ET

VTHokie2000 • 07/13/22 05:28 PM ET

Let them play an unequal number of conference games in non-revenue sports. -- tarheelblue Jul 13, 2022 at 08:49 PM ET

tarheelblue • 07/13/22 08:49 PM ET

But they are already flying across country now for sports like M/W lacrosse -- VTHokie2000 Jul 14, 2022 at 12:09 AM ET

The link was actually there, it just doesn't show up sometimes for some -- Nortazhokie Jul 13, 2022 at 08:14 AM ET

Nortazhokie • 07/13/22 08:14 AM ET

I just wonder how much it could be? It is odd that ESPN would add more -- goldendomer Jul 12, 2022 at 11:20 PM ET
