Right About ESPN Deciding ACC Fate

It has taken at least at decade between the SEC expansions. Probably no changes coming to alter that schedule. The PAC is gone. The B1G & Big 12 members are voting tonight respectively to accept Oregon, Washington, Arizona State & Utah. Arizona was accepted by Big 12 members already yesterday. They say the PAC front office will make one last telephone appeal tomorrow morning to PAC members to save the PAC. ESPN & Big Media precipitated the fall of the PAC like a lit match causes a forest fire. By dealing out that $32 MM a year media deal with pay adjustments for new members to the Big 12. While denying the PAC everything but unproven technological Apple Streaming. That was orchestrated by Big Media about like everything else these days. Good luck with the windows on that present ACC media deal. ESPN will be broke and that message will be repeated all across the internet. The ACC is on life support with that GOR and even that highly benefits ESPN.

What if the ACC top dogs all want out
knapnhokie 08/04/23 04:18 PM ET
I keep trying to figure out who exactly are the ACC's top dogs

Miami is a national brand, doesn't matter how much they suck on the field
Vienna_Hokie 08/04/23 06:11 PM ET
Unfortunately they don't buy tickets to Miami's away games or their bowls.
EDGEMAN 08/04/23 10:15 PM ET
attendance no longer a metric. the future is streaming subscriptions**

This is the best rivalry post I have ever seen. Well done.**

As I was writing it, I thought, should I embellish....
Vienna_Hokie 08/04/23 09:59 PM ET
VT football despite recent records is a national brand.
knapnhokie 08/04/23 07:11 PM ET
We were, but I think that is fading fast if not gone
Vienna_Hokie 08/04/23 07:37 PM ET
Agree. Based on recent performance. Clemson is big dog. FSU is a poodle
VTBoar 08/04/23 06:05 PM ET
FSU and Miami are more valuable media properties than anyone...
Vienna_Hokie 08/04/23 06:15 PM ET
And go where?**
HokieJamie 08/04/23 05:56 PM ET
It takes 11. ACC has contract look-ins w/ ESPN in

Great post. Rare to see logic here. **

Garbage back-handed slap at the board. Classy.
Maroon Baboon 08/04/23 05:35 PM ET
I see quite a bit taking place.
HOO86 08/04/23 06:11 PM ET
Relax. More that this topic universally, every message board (especially

Oh? Enlighten us.**

The CFP is fixin' to become the football version of a B1G-SEC Challenge.
Maroon Baboon 08/04/23 05:03 PM ET
Agree 1000000%.
RonMexicoHokie 08/04/23 05:12 PM ET
Said exactly the same thing yesterday, we are at peak CFB
Vienna_Hokie 08/04/23 06:04 PM ET
As a motorsports fan, CART and NASCAR should be red-flags to anyone
run_VT 08/05/23 12:39 PM ET
there's nothing to negotiate. Nobody has any leverage at all.**
reestuart 08/04/23 04:54 PM ET
If you are the ACC why negotiate
Mercury 08/04/23 04:38 PM ET
It’s definitely headed that way…
HydrogenHokie 08/04/23 04:31 PM ET
Lol. The majority of acc schools are paid market
SpeakToDamien 08/04/23 05:11 PM ET
What?? who said anything about a conspiracy??
HydrogenHokie 08/04/23 06:21 PM ET
Market has nothing to do with on field performance, it's media draw
Vienna_Hokie 08/04/23 06:28 PM ET
Well I agree with that and never said otherwise, but on a national level
HydrogenHokie 08/04/23 06:43 PM ET
Stop, that's just being pedantic. UNC and Indiana would be a comparison
Vienna_Hokie 08/04/23 07:49 PM ET
Disagree about VT vs Minn marketability
Hardcore_Hokie 08/04/23 09:23 PM ET
If you are paid market, you have no options **
SpeakToDamien 08/04/23 06:23 PM ET
Are you seriously trying to argue that individual brands in the ACC..
HydrogenHokie 08/04/23 06:38 PM ET
You said "maiority". Fsu,Clemson and Miami
