I heard that Phillps was in Blacksburg on Thursday...

I wonder if the WVU AD was present too? I've been a supporter of WVU joining the ACC since Tech joined. I've heard all the "small media market" stuff over the years but I agree that WVU would add value to the ACC in football and other sports simply because their fans actually care and show up, good or bad seasons. I and a majority of Tech fans miss the WVU rivalry, just as Pitt fans miss it. Even though Tech lost last night, just seeing those blue and gold uniforms clashing against the Chicago maroon and burnt orange brought back memories of all those games played in the Big East and even pre-Big East days. ** Edited by Old Line Hokie at 9/24/2022, 12:48:59 AM

Maybe just a scheduling agreement?

Interesting that the question of whether all the existing schools would be

Did that mean he might want to dump some of the ACC schools?
Truthahn • 09/25/22 05:34 PM ET
Sounds possible
MrFantastic! • 09/25/22 06:03 PM ET
I think the more likely path would be succession not merger

How would you coordinate the tv negotiations for something like that given
BAMRising • 09/24/22 10:17 AM ET
Start a company designed to do this.
33laszlo99 • 09/25/22 07:21 PM ET
no doubt it would be complex and staged over a period of time
Vippie1 • 09/24/22 10:26 AM ET
So basically a national TV contract serving as an umbrella w 3 conferences
BAMRising • 09/24/22 10:39 AM ET
You could have some fun with scheduling…

I think that's the 'drug deal"
Mercury • 09/24/22 11:23 AM ET
Best option now would be to skip over those and get Baylor and OK State

"Let The Big Ten go?" ESPN's advertisers will disagree.**

We don’t know how much the delta is between what the PAC 12 and Big 12
Marooned • 09/27/22 08:25 PM ET
I've seen year to year payouts, ACC gets a big $ bump in 2024-5 I think.
Truthahn • 09/25/22 01:32 PM ET
If ACC lost both FSU and Miami would be neat to have UCF and USF

Location, location, location, that's going to create compelling matchups
