Does FSU care about the rest of the conference? Been through

this with Texas. Guys, if they want out, take their money, and kick them out the door.

SMU now being mentioned

This proves that a lot of this is driven by markets....**
CyberHokie • 08/09/23 10:31 AM ET
Can’t believe ACC is this desperate **
Millpoint • 08/08/23 09:17 PM ET
Purely trying to find ways to generate revenue and keep FSU / Clemson happy
LonghornHokie • 08/08/23 06:39 PM ET
Or assure they get torched without a discount if they leave. This might be
TDVick • 08/08/23 07:12 PM ET
No baseball team, screw that **
HokiesACC2004 • 08/08/23 06:26 PM ET
Hey, they could get UNT instead - easier drive to DFW
Marooned • 08/08/23 07:29 PM ET
A co-op with Dallas Baptist 😆.
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 06:38 PM ET
If the ACC takes SMU, Stanford, or Cal., It will be an admission of past
wwhokie1 • 08/08/23 06:24 PM ET
Remember back in 2003 when the ACC was going to become the best football
LonghornHokie • 08/08/23 06:38 PM ET
Well, FSU and Miami didn’t live up to their hype.**
corvt2000 • 08/08/23 07:23 PM ET
steps 4 and 5**

The DEEP POCKETS CONFERENCE

SMU Hasn't Been Any Good Since the Death Penalty
WarHog38 • 08/08/23 05:47 PM ET
It took many years to recover
HOO86 • 08/08/23 06:13 PM ET
Always thought SMU got a raw deal.
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:54 PM ET
the SMU Football dead pony T-shirt was a classic**
daveinop • 08/08/23 06:36 PM ET
McMurphy is reporting this
HOO86 • 08/08/23 05:43 PM ET
It would be more than TCU objecting. At best, SMU is the 7th best TX school**
hokie_jayhawk • 08/08/23 10:23 PM ET
He's also predicting FSU, CU, Miami, UNC and Notre Dame leave the ACC
LonghornHokie • 08/08/23 06:47 PM ET
Might as well be the old metro conference
Vippie1 • 08/08/23 06:05 PM ET
Could do Memphis instead of Tulane
HOO86 • 08/08/23 06:16 PM ET
Would really like to see the Acc pick through
HokiePail • 08/08/23 05:51 PM ET
That's OK, as I would like to see the opposite, and I don't mean Tech. **
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 06:05 PM ET
I’ve got this feeling like we are turning into feeder leagues.
hokieZ71 • 08/08/23 06:15 PM ET
It does seem they are dividing things up. It will not be a P2 because
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 07:13 PM ET
At some point they’ll have to regulate the number of schools…
hokieZ71 • 08/08/23 07:20 PM ET
They need the 80% to sell their 20%. **
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 07:25 PM ET
I dropped the F-bomb in a Twitter feed about the BigXII the other day.
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 06:37 PM ET
Which B12 school do you represent B12 guy?**

Legit fight song. Respect 👊.**
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 07:41 PM ET
I dig Kansas and I dig your presence on this board.
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/08/23 07:34 PM ET
Thanx, means a lot, as no one on this end understands what is at stake it
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 10:03 PM ET
Do you think the problem
Stech • 08/08/23 05:49 PM ET
Yes. But some of the choices the ACC would consider are still there.
HOO86 • 08/08/23 06:43 PM ET
I think the ACC leadership is betting college athletics will be drastically
HboroughHokie • 08/08/23 05:58 PM ET
Small potatoes 🥔. But I don't hate it.**
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:45 PM ET
The ACC is so reactive. They should have gone after ASU and UA
goldendomer • 08/08/23 06:47 PM ET
I wanted the ACC to go after 7 schools in 7 different NEW states after USC
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 07:05 PM ET
Remember that the ACC Network is still interested in LOCAL subs (Premium $)
CobbCountyHokie • 08/08/23 05:35 PM ET
How much more revenue will getting the ACCN into Texas and Cali generate?
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:41 PM ET
The SECN is $1.05 more for in-market customers…
BROman Hokie • 08/08/23 05:53 PM ET
It's hard to find data on cable subs per state. I saw a random
33laszlo99 • 08/08/23 07:39 PM ET
Yea, and it looks like Texas has 5M or so…
BROman Hokie • 08/08/23 08:08 PM ET
There will eventually be much better options
Vippie1 • 08/08/23 06:10 PM ET
ACC will die before the B12. ACC is highly unstable.**
xx97 • 08/08/23 06:52 PM ET
If we factor in the extra travel costs, and we are still making money...
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:56 PM ET
I think you can look back on my postings and see where I advocated..
CobbCountyHokie • 08/08/23 05:45 PM ET
Did the ACC even try?
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:47 PM ET
I guess the question that needs to be asked is:
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:34 PM ET
Does FSU care about the rest of the conference? Been through ◄
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 05:36 PM ET
I'm about to that point with FSU
HOO86 • 08/08/23 07:27 PM ET
I would rather have UTSA. Seriously.**
Truthahn • 08/08/23 05:32 PM ET
Wow. IMHO, this suggests that at least two and possibly several more ACC
VTBoar • 08/08/23 05:30 PM ET
If two are leaving, why add? Just have each member keep a bigger share of
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:36 PM ET
Just a thought on CFP
mgurley • 08/08/23 07:50 PM ET
The way the CFP-4 and the CFP-12 stand now, I think you are correct. But
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 08:05 PM ET
100% agree.**
Old Line Hokie • 08/08/23 07:37 PM ET
It might also signal that the AC survives. **
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 05:33 PM ET
Maybe so. But my gut feeling says no. As a kid, and then a Tech student,
VTBoar • 08/08/23 05:40 PM ET
So, they would not be having these talks with these schools without ESPN
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 05:48 PM ET
OK. Good point(s). Thanks!**
VTBoar • 08/08/23 06:01 PM ET
I feel like the ACC was on shaky ground from the start.
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:44 PM ET
Other than WVU & Rutgers, we have the Big East
HOO86 • 08/08/23 07:14 PM ET
We should have taken them all at once in my opinion.
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 07:30 PM ET
Rutgers would have been a better choice than BC. Maybe Cuse also. **
