I laughed when he said women's basketball is incredibly valuable.

In general, sounds like ESPN spin. And if the P5 is going to thrive, why didn't Texas, Oklahoma, USC and UCLA recognize this? And if even men's basketball is so important, why isn't the ACC (or the SEC or B1G for that matter) beating a path to Lawrence to add the KU? It certainly would be great content for the ACCN.

Stech • 08/25/22 09:59 AM ET
he confirmed every contract they do has a provision for adding members

Agreed on all, especially cupcakes in November!!**
Stech • 08/25/22 08:42 PM ET
Of course they want to keep the acc - it’s CHEAP compared to sec big10**
3TechFanz • 08/25/22 11:41 AM ET
Agree with you Stech, ACC needs to add Cincy and WVU to get to 16…….
hokie4ever • 08/25/22 11:14 AM ET
Add WVU for rivalries
ren_hoek • 08/24/22 10:41 PM ET
Who do you want to kick out to add WVU?**
EDGEMAN • 08/25/22 07:23 AM ET
nobody - 15 for FB, 16 for BB; 9-game FB schedule 4 permanent, 5 rotating**

I've always liked this possibility 4-5-5
Millpoint • 08/25/22 11:31 AM ET
WRT the rotating games, what is the risk that all 15 teams won't be able

Nobody.

FWIW WVU and Syracuse have a rivalry because the same person worked at both

I agree on the PAC, but the 4 more leaving is just breaking, but on ACC he

Both of those guys have direct ESPN ties.
hokieball • 08/25/22 02:48 PM ET
Right now I’m buying they have to much invested in the ACCN, to let it fail**
Stech • 08/25/22 07:12 PM ET
BTW, he CAN'T say..."Nah, the Pac 12 is dead."

If the B1G leaves Oregon and Washington alone, the PAC 12 survives.
hokieZ71 • 08/24/22 08:03 PM ET
Even if the Big Ten does expand into the Pacific Northwest, the Pac may
VTHokie2000 • 08/25/22 11:14 AM ET
If B10 takes 4 PACs, B12 will take 4 more, leaving only 2

I feel like Kansas will end up in the B1G or SEC if they both go to 24.
hokieZ71 • 08/25/22 06:29 AM ET
Hold, so Kansas ranked 144 by US News is this great academic brand
LocalExperts • 08/25/22 08:26 AM ET
FWIW Kansas is a member of the AAU which would be appealing to the Big Ten.
VTHokie2000 • 08/25/22 11:08 AM ET
Excellent take on Kansas **
