The SEC will not take both F$U and scUM. Maybe neither. **
Maroon Unit • 08/05/22 05:50 PM ET
I think the biggest danger is NFL moving into Saturday
HOO86 • 08/05/22 05:29 PM ET
You have nothing to worry about because if the NFL tried to do that, then
VTHokie2000 • 08/05/22 09:54 PM ET
That's what I keep thinking about
hokieZ71 • 08/05/22 09:18 PM ET
See my post above or look up the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961**
VTHokie2000 • 08/05/22 09:55 PM ET
Maybe......

As long as the NFL continues to violate antitrust laws, then you will never

College Football broke an unwritten rule by going to Friday nights.
Maroon Baboon • 08/05/22 06:07 PM ET
IMO, a college football game does not affect HS attendance.
Atlee Hokie • 08/08/22 09:15 PM ET
Except the NFL isn't being respectful for that reason. The NFL knows it
VTHokie2000 • 08/05/22 10:07 PM ET
You are right.......
2hhoop3 • 08/05/22 05:42 PM ET
I already hate the fact that College Football has leaked into Friday Nights
Maroon Baboon • 08/05/22 03:15 PM ET
NFL can't legally televise games on Friday & Saturday.**

Can't see that anytime soon.
hokieZ71 • 08/05/22 12:16 PM ET
I think the B10's only move is to try for the 8 ACC teams en masse
Truthahn • 08/05/22 12:53 PM ET
I bet you Big 10 knows the schools close to AAU membership
LocalExperts • 08/06/22 05:56 PM ET
That's the move The ACC needs, but...
33laszlo99 • 08/06/22 10:21 AM ET
It is also a danger to the B10.
Truthahn • 08/06/22 11:13 AM ET
I've let this idea cook a little more and I think the issue is very simple
33laszlo99 • 08/06/22 06:42 PM ET
SEC or B1G: which would be best situated to offer ACC 8 spots en masse?
Maroon Baboon • 08/05/22 03:49 PM ET
Too much duplication for the SEC.
Truthahn • 08/05/22 08:31 PM ET
Our football is not under the ACC gor
goldendomer • 08/05/22 12:18 PM ET
I think that Notre Dame will wait a while to allow the cost to come down.
HOO86 • 08/05/22 05:31 PM ET
I'm bullish on Notre Dame and I think they will bet on themselves.
Maroon Baboon • 08/05/22 06:15 PM ET
Definitely understand that.
hokieZ71 • 08/05/22 12:44 PM ET
Probably $15M a year now for non football media rights. If they go B1G it
133743Hokie • 08/05/22 03:48 PM ET
It's enough of a hinderance ND won't leave now. Especially with new NBC $$
hokieZ71 • 08/05/22 03:52 PM ET
True, break up of the ACC has to be large, not sure if 50% or 75%, large
Stech • 08/05/22 01:00 PM ET
I’m thinking 2/3 might be the thing
hokieZ71 • 08/05/22 02:34 PM ET
It's 75% to add language to the ByLaws on Dissolution
HOO86 • 08/05/22 05:25 PM ET
Pretty sure ND would count
hokieZ71 • 08/05/22 10:32 PM ET
NC State may have more value than Tech right now...
Old Line Hokie • 08/05/22 03:24 PM ET
State hasn't eon a conference championship since 1979
LocalExperts • 08/06/22 05:54 PM ET
What's worth more.....
2hhoop3 • 08/06/22 06:25 PM ET
They dont..**
Hokie83 • 08/06/22 07:27 AM ET
NC State has nothing near the following of UNC in the state of NC.
hokieZ71 • 08/05/22 03:28 PM ET
NC State has more potential.
Old Line Hokie • 08/05/22 04:21 PM ET
Oh gosh. NCST and aTm. I'll stop there.**
hokieZ71 • 08/05/22 04:39 PM ET
North Carolina State is a sleeping giant.
Old Line Hokie • 08/05/22 06:30 PM ET
No offense but they will never be a Ohio State and

Old Line Hokie • 08/06/22 03:53 PM ET
Even if VT could switch locations with UVA, the switch would still give VT
VTHokie2000 • 08/06/22 09:03 PM ET
Maybe, but no one seems to know and you are betting a lot of $$ w/o knowing**
Stech • 08/05/22 02:44 PM ET
I'm not betting any money.
hokieZ71 • 08/05/22 02:51 PM ET
Yeah I meant the Presidents of the U's, seems like a long shot to me too.
Stech • 08/05/22 02:57 PM ET
I doubt 11 ACC schools would leave at the same time to break up the ...
Old Line Hokie • 08/05/22 01:19 PM ET
I don't see Tech being left out, I think if UVA & UNC leave, they go to B1G
Stech • 08/05/22 02:37 PM ET
college football on Sunday would be a big fat loser. Ratings would be bad**

yep. That's exactly what he meant/said.**
reestuart • 08/05/22 03:00 PM ET
You might be right, but he sure said it in a confusing way, hard to tell
Stech • 08/05/22 02:41 PM ET
You're right. Fox already has that. **
