i think with ACCN as in-market in California it could generate $60M+ /year**

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.

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

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…

It makes no sense...

hokieZ71 08/08/23 06:29 AM ET

Pylons 08/08/23 07:27 AM ET

hokieZ71 08/08/23 07:38 AM ET
Conferences adding teams that they think enhance their media value?**
