If you took the to 12 - 20 revenue producing teams and put them in the

conference, only 1/2 of them would have winning records. That doesn't work in college football. The brands were built on decades of winning records, not even competition. The P2 need their Vanderbilt's and Purdue's. I look at schools like that as pay in games. UMass gets almost $2M to go to Michigan. Conference pay in games are just more expensive.

Make them pay and let them move on.
Minden Hokie • 09/18/24 05:39 PM ET
12 votes (two-thirds) to approve? **

Unequal distribution of TV money is truly the beginning of the end.
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/18/24 10:04 AM ET
Big media probably wants the P2, and the little p2 plus PAC at the same
VTCALS72 • 09/20/24 03:01 PM ET
Performance-based payouts are much more prevalent these days .....
hokietony • 09/18/24 02:28 PM ET
Unfair distribution is what we have now.
Truthahn • 09/18/24 11:44 AM ET
Unequal distribution of an agreed upon amount of $ for on-field success-
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/18/24 03:50 PM ET
I agree with this take as well.
Hardcore_Hokie • 09/18/24 01:03 PM ET
Agreed**
VT ChemE 1986 • 09/18/24 12:42 PM ET
The beginning of the end happened when Maryland left. Canary in a coal mine
Maroon Baboon • 09/18/24 10:52 AM ET
I agree. ACC had their heads in the sand
1947Sunbowl • 09/18/24 03:54 PM ET
This sounds like the Mag 7 at work again
HokieAl • 09/18/24 10:31 AM ET
You just very concisely distilled the entire problem with the ACC, and why-
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/18/24 12:00 PM ET
Maybe resembling the PAC is closer than we realize
HokieAl • 09/18/24 12:25 PM ET
That doesn't sound "tin foil hat" to me at all. The PAC group is clearly-
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/18/24 12:43 PM ET
It's a move to retain the estimated $250M from the implosion of the PAC.
Big12 guy • 09/18/24 01:11 PM ET
That $250m, in practice, was spent the second OSU/WSU won the litigation-
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/18/24 03:34 PM ET
It would not surprise to see the ACC become the Academic Version of the B12
Stech • 09/18/24 11:00 AM ET
This makes total sense to me
VT ChemE 1986 • 09/18/24 09:58 AM ET
A "success initiative fund" was fine-
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/18/24 10:15 AM ET
Agreed. Reward what can be controlled - success on the field**
VT ChemE 1986 • 09/18/24 11:17 AM ET
If their following goes down, they don't qualify
SpeakToDamien • 09/18/24 10:32 AM ET
I can't imagine us agreeing to shortening the GOR.
Truthahn • 09/18/24 11:50 AM ET
ESPN? **
Big12 guy • 09/18/24 11:56 AM ET
A new source of funds? Or are they setting aside the guaranteed playoff
Big12 guy • 09/18/24 10:35 AM ET
I'm assuming ESPN is kicking in more? Tbd**
SpeakToDamien • 09/18/24 02:00 PM ET
When regional conferences were formed, they made sense because there wasn't

If you took the to 12 - 20 revenue producing teams and put them in the ◄
Big12 guy • 09/18/24 09:53 AM ET
I'm all for revenue distribution based on results, especially football
HokieObsession • 09/18/24 07:32 AM ET
Uneven distributions was not enough to keep Texas in the B12, and it
Big12 guy • 09/18/24 07:42 AM ET
Paying everyone the same is fading fast in College Sports, Paying Players,
Stech • 09/18/24 08:34 AM ET
I think its the opposite as far who thinks they cant win and thats FSU imo
Hokie83 • 09/18/24 07:49 AM ET
Either way, they are at the table. If they can come up with a face saving
Big12 guy • 09/18/24 07:54 AM ET
Crazy Times :)**
Hokie83 • 09/18/24 08:21 AM ET
Wonder if ESPN is involved.
HOO86 • 09/17/24 10:56 PM ET
they also have a decision to make nlt early 2025
daveinop • 09/19/24 07:53 AM ET
If ESPN is involved, you can be absolutely certain the end result-
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/18/24 10:23 AM ET
The potential shortened GOR definitely feels like ESPN behind the curtain
HokieAl • 09/18/24 08:12 AM ET
Do you think that ESPN is willing to extend the contract, but is now
Big12 guy • 09/18/24 08:25 AM ET
Don't forget this post from Baltimore Hokie about the Directv battle
HokieAl • 09/18/24 08:39 AM ET
I think a lot of Conference Contracts end in 2031, that could line up well.**
