They play them every year. Seems ridiculous.

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
ancient alien 2018 • 05/28/24 12:25 AM ET
It's sad because WVU IS the State's University...North Carolina and
VT757to276 • 05/28/24 09:13 AM ET
WVU has had very questionable administrative leadership over the years,
RJHokie • 05/28/24 09:36 AM ET
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
Big12 guy • 05/27/24 06:43 PM ET
"...some dude in his mom's basement!..." En fuego! 🔥🔥🔥.
