What about the travel for the study and book groups though?

No one is forming a conference based on academics, intellect, and culture. It makes no sense.

Help me understand how it makes sense to add Stanford and Cal
HokieR • 08/08/23 06:02 AM ET
For us or them?
Truthahn • 08/08/23 01:25 PM ET
i think with ACCN as in-market in California it could generate $60M+ /year**

It makes sense if it's football only.
tarheelblue • 08/08/23 10:51 AM ET
So VT can be put into a scheduling pod with them, redeye to the west coast,
Maroon Effect • 08/08/23 09:45 AM ET
Football only could work...all sports no way**

How many P5 level quality teams remain in the footprint of the current ACC?
Tuckahokie • 08/08/23 08:56 AM ET
Adding the best ones available doesn't make it a good move.**
Pylons • 08/08/23 09:04 AM ET
It doesn't. There's no good reason to do it.**
reestuart • 08/08/23 08:41 AM ET
It doesnt at all**
HokieJamie • 08/08/23 08:18 AM ET
It doesn’t make sense for the ACC and especially not for Stanford and Cal.
RoswellGAHokie • 08/08/23 07:59 AM ET
I'm always one to try and figure out how things could work.
hokieZ71 • 08/08/23 08:39 AM ET
Big 12 will wilt
MrFantastic! • 08/08/23 08:02 AM ET
A wilted B12 is better than no B12. They will be a P1 in basketball if
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 08:49 AM ET
Stay? They dont have a tv deal**
HokieJamie • 08/08/23 08:38 AM ET
Why? They seem to have positioned themselves well.
HokieR • 08/08/23 08:17 AM ET
So it seems I agree but
MrFantastic! • 08/08/23 08:31 AM ET
It seems that ESPN will only pay pro rata for P5 schools…
BROman Hokie • 08/08/23 07:27 AM ET
No not espn but more reigning in crazy rights

Please no more private schools. **
RoswellGAHokie • 08/08/23 07:56 AM ET
It makes no sense...
jesuisvtguy • 08/08/23 06:45 AM ET
I woke up thinking about the teams with the least chance to leave the ACC.
hokieZ71 • 08/08/23 06:29 AM ET
Tulane and SMU don't have enough fans. Louisiana is LSU .**
SpeakToDamien • 08/08/23 09:15 AM ET
Is my sarcasm really that dry to everybody?**
hokieZ71 • 08/08/23 09:25 AM ET
You had me until SMU**

Pylons • 08/08/23 07:27 AM ET
What that’s happening does make sense? Honest question.**
hokieZ71 • 08/08/23 07:38 AM ET
Conferences adding teams that they think enhance their media value?**
Pylons • 08/08/23 07:43 AM ET
I think we need at least six (maybe seven) and go back to some sort of
Tuckahokie • 08/08/23 06:19 AM ET
Divisions sounds like 1990 thinking...
jesuisvtguy • 08/08/23 07:00 AM ET
Well, at some point, the Big Ten and SEC are only going to play each other.
