Have to look at who will increase income

And based off of population in states where the ACCNetwork will get in state fees, that would make Cal/Stanford, Oregon, UW, AZ, UU, and SMU the most attractive. Those schools could make up a pod where they play 6 games in that pod and 2 against the other ACC schools meaning that the western teams would travel to the east once a season, and the current ACC schools would only play out west every other year. Also, it opens up a late night window on the ACCNetwork and the ESPN family of networks, and the CW primetime.

ACC absolutely open to expansion, Jim Phillips tells ESPN
hokieZ71 • 07/27/23 10:19 PM ET
The key comment is," has not found enough value in any expansion option"
wwhokie1 • 07/28/23 09:46 AM ET
No that’s the wrong quote. You gotta pay attention to the wording (inside)
hokieZ71 • 07/28/23 11:15 AM ET
Actually not the wrong quote, just a different quote.
wwhokie1 • 07/28/23 06:12 PM ET
To be fair mine was quoting “league officials”
hokieZ71 • 07/28/23 07:40 PM ET
He makes it sound like he's quoting league officials but doesn't actually
wwhokie1 • 07/29/23 09:55 AM ET
Reading comprehension......
2hhoop3 • 07/29/23 10:47 AM ET
He just failed to mention the only three options that would really work
Vippie1 • 07/28/23 09:15 AM ET
Oregon and Washington would reopen our TV contract to negotiations
Truthahn • 07/28/23 09:39 AM ET
Oregon and Washington are looking to the big 10 not the ACC.
wwhokie1 • 07/28/23 09:51 AM ET
Adding a California school would be huge for ACCN subscriptions, no?
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/23 12:26 PM ET
The ACC is the best option to keep Oregon and Washington with closer rivals
hokieZ71 • 07/28/23 11:16 AM ET
I feel it goes beyond finances and fit.
Truthahn • 07/28/23 10:44 AM ET
I'd be curious to know FSU's opinion on UO and UW.
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/23 12:31 PM ET
If FSU files, it also triggers an immediate obligation to pay**
daveinop • 07/28/23 08:22 AM ET
Theoretically, could a school join the ACC but not sign the GOR?
HokieAl • 07/27/23 11:11 PM ET
ESPN is one reason we have the GOR extended out so far. They wanted to
wwhokie1 • 07/28/23 10:02 AM ET
Isn't that the Notre Dame deal?**
LonghornHokie • 07/28/23 03:32 AM ET
Didn't ND sign some type of a GOR deal?
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 06:32 AM ET
My understanding is that Notre Dame signed the GOR, but since it does not
wwhokie1 • 07/28/23 10:04 AM ET
The GOR covers all sports but football (Indy/NBC) and hockey (Big Ten)**
TerryD • 07/28/23 06:57 AM ET
Maybe the ACC should focus on expansion with hockey schools?
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 07:32 AM ET
FWIW all 15 ACC schools currently sponsors men's ice hockey at the club
VTHokie2000 • 07/28/23 08:51 AM ET
BC and ND play NCAA hockey, just not in the ACC.
Truthahn • 07/28/23 10:14 AM ET
ND home games under NBC contract; road games under BTN
TerryD • 07/28/23 03:43 PM ET
I know BC and Notre Dame play NCAA DI ice hockey. They are also one of the
VTHokie2000 • 07/28/23 10:45 AM ET
No**
2hhoop3 • 07/27/23 11:25 PM ET
I suppose, but why?
hokieZ71 • 07/27/23 11:19 PM ET
That's assuming dissolution is a means
SpeakToDamien • 07/27/23 11:31 PM ET
FSU, in my opinion
SpeakToDamien • 07/27/23 11:00 PM ET
FSU is all Florida crazy, they have no legal alternatives
Mercury • 07/28/23 07:40 AM ET
I think FSU and Big desire each other
MrFantastic! • 07/28/23 06:28 AM ET
I think F$U is probably not that desired by the SEC
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 07:48 AM ET
Im routing for lsu
Mercury • 07/28/23 10:02 AM ET
We shall see how "back" F$U is in that first game.
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 10:39 AM ET
FSU is like Britney Spears on Instagram in 2023
MrBayAreaHokie • 07/28/23 01:17 AM ET
I feel like a lot of FSU's "options" are in their heads.
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/23 12:06 AM ET
Gonna be fun to see what happens either way.
hokieZ71 • 07/27/23 11:03 PM ET
Chris Nee is either.......
2hhoop3 • 07/27/23 10:32 PM ET
For some reason, FSU smells foul here. I mean, the PAC is ripe....
hokieZ71 • 07/27/23 10:39 PM ET
The thing is...
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 06:36 AM ET
It is doubtful.......
2hhoop3 • 07/27/23 10:51 PM ET
Dogs that chase cars and actually catch them usually wind up dead.**
RJHokie • 07/27/23 10:35 PM ET
Very perceptive......
2hhoop3 • 07/27/23 10:40 PM ET
WVU, SMU, UO and UW are an odd combination of schools.
Maroon Baboon • 07/27/23 10:30 PM ET
SMU?
Marooned • 07/28/23 07:21 AM ET
From what I understand, SMU would be more valuable to the ACC than the PAC.
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/23 10:28 AM ET
Have to look at who will increase income ◄
mrcaniac • 07/28/23 12:17 AM ET
Now that there are no more divisions in the ACC, how would a pod system...
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 06:39 AM ET
More of a hybrid pod system
mrcaniac • 07/28/23 10:11 PM ET
Football scheduling could easily work as you describe
obguthr • 07/28/23 05:44 AM ET
yeah - if there was ever to be some sort of bi-coastal deal between ACC+PAC
VPI_1998 • 07/28/23 06:02 AM ET
It was more reflective over time. Not current.
hokieZ71 • 07/27/23 10:37 PM ET
WVU is the one that makes the most sense.
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 06:51 AM ET
UConn checks a lot of boxes
CappyHokie • 07/28/23 01:25 PM ET
Unfortunately the ACC needs football schools
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 02:23 PM ET
We need relative football strength. UConn does not bring that to the table
HokiePride • 07/28/23 02:18 PM ET
Are we not desperate? Because I think we are desperate.
hokieZ71 • 07/28/23 07:57 AM ET
It's a false choice. The ACC and B12 will be comparable
Big12 guy • 07/28/23 08:58 AM ET
They surely are. But they aren’t moving until the 7 ahead of them move.
hokieZ71 • 07/28/23 11:08 AM ET
I think you should.......
2hhoop3 • 07/28/23 10:19 AM ET
You are right,
Big12 guy • 07/28/23 10:46 AM ET
The GOR or......

Na, I'll shoot from the hip, it's more my style. I'll also base my
