I assure you, I'm not wishing for

Private Equity, not a bit. But - it certainly doesn't hurt to give it a look, because the NFL was that last major pro sports league that does not have PE involved. It appears that that is about to change.

Looks like the NFL is going to private equity for at least 10%
Big12 guy • 07/13/24 12:41 PM ET
It's not ownership of the league. It's a 10% cap on an NFL team's ownership

Big-12 Gets What From NFL For 10%?
WarHog38 • 07/13/24 05:59 PM ET
There has been nothing mentioned what they would do with that money. I
Big12 guy • 07/13/24 06:22 PM ET
There will be no "P3". There will only be a P2. And anyone who thinks that

Sheer delusion here…

True! The big cash winners will be the Law Firms handling this craziness!!**

If you don't believe the P2 and Big media are dictating this together,

Sad but that's the road we are going down **
VaTechHokiesACC • 07/14/24 09:58 PM ET
It is sad, disgusting and a whole host of other words
VTCALS72 • 07/15/24 07:39 AM ET
Well of course it is. They know that fans will watch no matter what.
Baltimore_Hokie • 07/15/24 10:29 AM ET
We have disagreed a lot but not on this.**
VTCALS72 • 07/15/24 12:50 PM ET
Truth. That's why neither has any incentive to change the status quo.
neworleanshoo • 07/14/24 11:57 AM ET
Yep, and that's the bottom line.**

ancient alien 2018 • 07/15/24 01:14 AM ET
I disagree with that entire post. **
Big12 guy • 07/13/24 10:35 PM ET
He's 100% right.
neworleanshoo • 07/14/24 11:57 AM ET
OMG, he is pretty much spot on **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/13/24 11:11 PM ET
My thinking is that ESPN and FOX NEED that 3rd conference. Never
Big12 guy • 07/14/24 07:40 AM ET
If the ACC is a valid target, so is the Big XII.

It is not NFL giving Big 12 10%....

Old Line Hokie • 07/13/24 08:20 PM ET
I would guess.....

The NFL isn't just considering PE, they are in active
Big12 guy • 07/13/24 09:11 PM ET
You better do some.....

Sounds pretty active to me. **

Thanks For Clarification

You are correct, but the concept is the same. **
Big12 guy • 07/13/24 06:29 PM ET
Maybe similar but.........

I agree with this as well. It would have to be something that increases the

manassashoo • 07/13/24 04:39 PM ET
The B12 doesn't need PE money to save them from anything. I believe

A non flyover view of what the big 12 is
VTCALS72 • 07/15/24 07:56 AM ET
It comes down to the players and recruiting. Do you honestly think
Big12 guy • 07/15/24 04:08 PM ET
Then quit bragging about PE money closing the gap between the P2 and
manassashoo • 07/13/24 07:01 PM ET
No one is bragging. I will lament he loss of the ACC as we have known the

Does it really matter.......

Just need them to realistically contend

It will likely take........
2hhoop3 • 07/13/24 08:07 PM ET
Exactly **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/13/24 10:05 PM ET
Fair play. FSU and Clemson getting out of a GOR might make the B12 risky….**
hokieZ71 • 07/13/24 04:43 PM ET
Exactly. Why would you invest billions, when your top brands can leave
manassashoo • 07/13/24 04:48 PM ET
They see the emergence of new brands
HouClone • 07/13/24 06:47 PM ET
IMHO it is exactly the opposite, they want only their brands
VTCALS72 • 07/14/24 06:52 AM ET
So what would keep them from leaving in the future. That's what the PE
manassashoo • 07/13/24 06:59 PM ET
Good point, valid concern.
HouClone • 07/13/24 07:07 PM ET
so what if my prediction of the P2 then miles and miles between them and
VTCALS72 • 07/13/24 03:13 PM ET
But Big 12 guy is saying the Big 12 uses their PE$ to close the gap.
hokieZ71 • 07/13/24 04:40 PM ET
We are on different realities and you are right, they will not intersect
VTCALS72 • 07/15/24 07:44 AM ET
Yep big media will not allow the P2 they are building to be challenged
VTCALS72 • 07/13/24 08:02 PM ET
Bring back the Ivy League.
VPI 1924 • 07/13/24 02:52 PM ET
The NFL and PE are........

Your opinion does not negate the direction that PE seems to
Big12 guy • 07/13/24 12:55 PM ET
You could buy a couple schools’ half billion ACC buyouts with that.**
hokieZ71 • 07/13/24 01:11 PM ET
B12 sells their conference and gives the money to the ACC? How
Big12 guy • 07/13/24 01:21 PM ET
Here’s the thing. There will still be an ACC.
hokieZ71 • 07/13/24 01:36 PM ET
Couldn’t a PE firm buy out the best brands in the ACC/B12?…
BROman Hokie • 07/13/24 01:58 PM ET
Yes, if schools like UNC and UVA probably weren’t 100% against the B12
hokieZ71 • 07/13/24 02:12 PM ET
You make UNC abd UVA sound
Big12 guy • 07/13/24 03:52 PM ET
Not at all. Calford didnt have an option to stay in the PAC 12.
hokieZ71 • 07/13/24 04:09 PM ET
No, it's not that, it's the sticking their nose up to the B12. "Academic"
Big12 guy • 07/13/24 05:56 PM ET
Not academic elitism. Athletic elitism.
hokieZ71 • 07/13/24 06:33 PM ET
I was not questioning.....
