I still believe big media "placed" Stanford and Cal in the ACC

and AZ, AZ St, Col. and Utah in the big 12 for a temporary time until they can reconstitute the new mid level PAC. Again just an opinion but mine is big media and the power 2 need a Triple A minor league and they see either one "conference" with 3 divisions or 3 separate conferences of 10-12 each. These will produce their own content to "sell" to big media for televising in certain time slots. Big media will no longer produce or be forced to air BC vs Wake and similar games whether in the PAC, Big 12 or ACC.

Rumor that doesn't make sense keeps popping up
HokieR • 05/27/24 05:51 PM ET
Now Word Is that Utah wanted ACC last year but wouldn't take reduced share
Sunsetunderground • 05/28/24 02:38 PM ET
Now do the math after full shares of Cal, Stanford, and SMU and
HouClone • 05/28/24 02:53 PM ET
LOL New to the board? fsu and klempson are going nowhere for many years.**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/29/24 07:44 PM ET
I’m sorry, where are FSU and Clemson going?
hokieZ71 • 05/28/24 06:30 PM ET
Maybe he/she's a newbie.**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/29/24 07:45 PM ET
Exit Fees and California / Texas instate ACC network rates
Sunsetunderground • 05/28/24 04:10 PM ET
The more I think about it, the best path forward is a full merge
HokieAl • 05/28/24 01:38 PM ET
what i like about your idea is the scheduling
MrBayAreaHokie • 05/29/24 10:30 AM ET
I don’t see that as leverage to increase per team payout
Colonel Jessup • 05/28/24 06:10 PM ET
How about this? Just spitballin'
Millpoint • 05/28/24 04:40 PM ET
This makes a lot of sense
Millpoint • 05/28/24 04:10 PM ET
That's a lot of text haha. Here is an easier to view image of the schools
HokieAl • 05/28/24 01:45 PM ET
Thanks but current total enrollment af vt is 38.1 per university web site**
DMV Gobbler • 05/28/24 04:29 PM ET
I just used wiki for a ballpark size est. it’s good that VT has grown**
HokieAl • 05/28/24 09:24 PM ET
easy roadtrip for me LOL**
MrBayAreaHokie • 05/28/24 12:23 PM ET
Washington and Oregon would have been great
SpeakToDamien • 05/28/24 11:14 AM ET
Utah, SMU, Cal, Stanford… makes a lot of sense-they play every yr cuts exp**
ombandit • 05/28/24 09:56 AM ET
Agree - it doesn’t make sense.
WBGV • 05/28/24 09:50 AM ET
Eh, I think if the 4 corner schools had been offered ACC
Vippie1 • 05/28/24 12:40 PM ET
If Stanford and Cal were included? Maybe. **
Big12 guy • 05/28/24 03:00 PM ET
I think Cal and Stanford chose the ACC over the B12
Truthahn • 05/28/24 11:40 AM ET
Not likely. The Big 12 TV partners wouldn’t pay extra for Calford.
WBGV • 05/28/24 01:39 PM ET
Me thinks you guys should remember how you roll your eyes
Big12 guy • 05/28/24 09:48 AM ET
If the best of the Big12 and ACC were to merge for survival
HokieR • 05/28/24 10:15 AM ET
Add OSU and WSU. Reorg into 4 confs: BE, ACC, B12 and PAC.
Truthahn • 05/28/24 12:04 PM ET
I'm not an advocate of leaving any team behind. Combine the P5, add any
Big12 guy • 05/28/24 11:21 AM ET
My post probably should have been under here.**
Truthahn • 05/28/24 12:05 PM ET
I could live with that. Would be a fun conference.**
mancunian • 05/28/24 11:20 AM ET
the ACC needs more teams for the west coast pod**
kingofcassell • 05/28/24 08:27 AM ET
Agreed, Utah, San Diego State would help. If you want to go bigger out West
Stech • 05/28/24 11:53 AM ET
Good choices. All work.
HOO86 • 05/28/24 07:58 PM ET
That would be a draw, and very creative, I agree something no one else can
Stech • 05/28/24 08:07 PM ET
They want the Big Ten
Millpoint • 05/28/24 07:34 AM ET
Utah to ACC is basically some horse-trading to compensate ESPN for losing
TDVick • 05/28/24 07:46 AM ET
If FSU and Clemson leave, I don't think the ACC is left with the better
wwhokie1 • 05/29/24 12:12 AM ET
But the B1G can't preemptively strike.
hokieZ71 • 05/28/24 10:28 AM ET
If you know that the GoR is likely gone in three years, then YES, you can
TDVick • 05/28/24 01:38 PM ET
I personally have no problem if Utah goes to the ACC
Millpoint • 05/28/24 09:36 AM ET
Exactly. That is how the decision-makers in this process think.**
TDVick • 05/28/24 01:39 PM ET
How do you factor in....
2hhoop3 • 05/28/24 09:33 AM ET
You just change the weights a bit. I gave some broad brush strokes
TDVick • 05/28/24 01:33 PM ET
Realignment gets much easier when you give yourself permission to spend
33laszlo99 • 05/28/24 02:53 PM ET
I think this thing......
2hhoop3 • 05/28/24 01:52 PM ET
I think ND is the hand at work on this. They are about prestige and they
TDVick • 05/28/24 02:05 PM ET
I did not say they.....
2hhoop3 • 05/28/24 02:44 PM ET
Nothing
zosohokie • 05/28/24 05:36 AM ET
Does Utah come in for full share?
HouClone • 05/28/24 01:15 AM ET
I think it does make a lot of sense...
jesuisvtguy • 05/27/24 11:55 PM ET
Agree. I think there needs to be a "THIRD league." That's the way I look
TDVick • 05/28/24 06:30 AM ET
I kinda like this with some tweaks...
mancunian • 05/28/24 11:46 AM ET
I doubt they make the cut. I think you need to pay attention to the
TDVick • 05/28/24 01:37 PM ET
Maybe A&M is poachable. They are a bad fit for the SEC and don't seem
TDVick • 05/28/24 07:15 AM ET
The ACC should try to trade Clemson for A&M if the Aggies would go along
TDVick • 05/28/24 08:28 AM ET
ATM needs to see how Elko does before they start shopping
RJHokie • 05/28/24 07:21 AM ET
With ACCN, wouldn't there be more money made off of Wazzu and even OrSt?
Maroon Baboon • 05/28/24 12:17 AM ET
I doubt the ACC wants them due to academics. I suggested above that maybe
TDVick • 05/28/24 08:21 AM ET
Utah Wants in the B1G
WarHog38 • 05/27/24 11:31 PM ET
Let's review why Utah was even in the Pac-12 to begin with.
Maroon Baboon • 05/28/24 12:01 AM ET
That PAC 16 would've been nuts. **
mancunian • 05/28/24 11:48 AM ET
I think there's a lot of people regretting that this deal DIDN'T happen**
Maroon Baboon • 05/28/24 12:23 PM ET
Exactly. VT could have done a "Colorado" and lucked into the SEC, had they
TDVick • 05/28/24 08:24 AM ET
Actually it does make sense
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/27/24 11:15 PM ET
utah REALLY didnt want to go to the Big 12
DMV Gobbler • 05/27/24 09:42 PM ET
$40 million from Comcast on ACCN, and they like being with Stanford & Cal,
Stech • 05/27/24 09:06 PM ET
Something could happen when the next Big 12 contract runs out in five years
Millpoint • 05/28/24 10:49 AM ET
WVU NOOOOOOOO! That school has cut and gutted so many programs it probably

Agree, my thoughts precisely !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 05/27/24 11:48 PM ET
rem: USC-w to the B1G rumors? everyone laughed.**
BUGGZY • 05/27/24 08:25 PM ET
I don't think it's crazy. I just don't think it matters.
Maroon Baboon • 05/27/24 11:02 PM ET
Do not underestimate just how much Utah HATES being associated with BYU**
SMU Pony • 05/27/24 07:06 PM ET
Like A&M with Texas. SMH**
Big12 guy • 05/27/24 08:04 PM ET
They play them every year. Seems ridiculous.**
Maroon Baboon • 05/27/24 07:15 PM ET
They despise one another...
SMU Pony • 05/27/24 08:13 PM ET
Kinda like A&M to the Big10. BTW, you can have them. **
Big12 guy • 05/27/24 06:40 PM ET
They are just running away from Big TX
EDGEMAN • 05/28/24 06:01 AM ET
Once Stanford, Cal and SMU were brought in, every stupid idea become real
Vienna_Hokie • 05/27/24 06:00 PM ET
C'mon Vienna. There might be few barkers out there trying
33laszlo99 • 05/27/24 07:49 PM ET
I still believe big media "placed" Stanford and Cal in the ACC ◄
VTCALS72 • 05/27/24 06:31 PM ET
I could see absolutely that...
SMU Pony • 05/27/24 08:17 PM ET
The P2 will need the ACC and B12, or the schools in those conferences to
