Strongly disagree, the B12 is headed for the same place as the ACC

And I don't see how private equity can do anything but hurt in the intermediate to long term. Private equity is mostly about buying a whole and breaking it into parts to walk away with nothing left but the profit they make.

no need to worry about what you can't control. **

Skeptical of the buyout #s reported

I wouldn't work yourself up.........

Good points, hearing B1G/🦊 & SEC🐭 won’t pay more 💵 for schools until 31
Stech • 03/04/25 08:21 AM ET
I don't believe any have a place to go this week.
VTCALS72 • 03/03/25 07:38 PM ET
UNC is not demanding Uva and we are tied to UVA just like UNC is to NCst
Hokie83 • 03/04/25 07:40 AM ET
Don’t kid yourself. UVA is a brand and has deep history with UNC.
Poultrygeist • 03/04/25 08:11 AM ET
How do u define Brand? For TV Executives it’s TV ratings, that’s where 💵is
Stech • 03/04/25 08:37 AM ET
Out here in Kansas, when you go to the sports merchandise
Big12 guy • 03/04/25 10:15 AM ET
Selling merchandise is not equivalent to TV ratings for TV Executives, nice
Stech • 03/04/25 01:02 PM ET
Exactly and you don't see ISU or KSU sold in the east any better
VTCALS72 • 03/04/25 11:14 AM ET
I agree, and that will probably not change. Florida and Arizona are
Big12 guy • 03/04/25 11:23 AM ET
Agree but note
VTCALS72 • 03/04/25 11:32 AM ET
Respectively, I disagree. The sky is not falling. K-State and
Big12 guy • 03/04/25 11:42 AM ET
Fully agree for you and me
VTCALS72 • 03/04/25 11:46 AM ET
No one is watching VT at noon on Saturday on the CW or ACC network which
Poultrygeist • 03/04/25 08:55 AM ET
Real facts on TV ratings/brands from someone that researched it.
Stech • 03/04/25 12:52 PM ET
When VT makes less money than they did last year due to the new tv
Poultrygeist • 03/04/25 01:42 PM ET
Their recent, you flamed Hokie83, me & thus the rest of the board, got it.**
Stech • 03/04/25 01:59 PM ET
Whit will be gone within next 12 -18 months at Max and no VT is not as weak
Hokie83 • 03/04/25 08:22 AM ET
Maybe what this ACC deal is really saying is
VTCALS72 • 03/04/25 11:30 AM ET
Think about what you just posted. We have at most 5 years to cultivate a
Poultrygeist • 03/04/25 08:41 AM ET
I think you are are realistic about our "peers" that is non P2 schools
VTCALS72 • 03/04/25 11:40 AM ET
Start with Clemson****
Poultrygeist • 03/04/25 01:29 PM ET
Not our peer big $$$$ difference.
VTCALS72 • 03/04/25 02:01 PM ET
Wrong again. Clemson doesn’t have a billionaire bank rolling them
Poultrygeist • 03/04/25 04:35 PM ET
I have my eyes wide open as well as connections who are more tied
Hokie83 • 03/04/25 08:48 AM ET
I’m happy to eat crow and hope I’m wrong. All anyone can do is look at
Poultrygeist • 03/04/25 09:17 AM ET
Two things 1st UVA and VT are not ruled by the same BOV
VTCALS72 • 03/04/25 07:48 AM ET
one thing BOV are appointed by the governor
1947Sunbowl • 03/04/25 09:52 AM ET
True, I was just pointing out NC has one board that covers all state school**
VTCALS72 • 03/04/25 11:10 AM ET
I would agree on being probably # 2 , the BOV will not demand State go with
Hokie83 • 03/04/25 08:02 AM ET
My #2 was nationally, are you suggesting that VT is the 4th most desired
VTCALS72 • 03/04/25 11:50 AM ET
#4 seems overly optimistic to me
hokiekev 2k4 • 03/04/25 09:08 AM ET
We are held higher than you think imo
Hokie83 • 03/04/25 09:17 AM ET
How active have we been in securing AAU membership? Are we getting close?**
hokie77 • 03/04/25 11:45 AM ET
Very Active and depends who you talk to on how close...**
Hokie83 • 03/05/25 08:26 AM ET
UNC and State will both go together to the SEC.
Poultrygeist • 03/04/25 08:21 AM ET
That board is not the ones extending the invitation. So their opinion is of
wwhokie1 • 03/04/25 10:18 AM ET
Well, UNC will be a 3-9 program every year. **
olemisshokie4life • 03/04/25 08:29 AM ET
Your thoughts are the ones not based in Reality imo**
Hokie83 • 03/04/25 08:23 AM ET
I agree. Tech is a sleeping giant in football. Outside Clemson and FSU
olemisshokie4life • 03/04/25 08:16 AM ET
I agree, you guys just need to stop sleeping. Win the damn thing. **
Big12 guy • 03/04/25 10:30 AM ET
I swear the Big XII makes more sense for FSU/Clemson than either B10 or SEC
hokieZ71 • 03/03/25 07:11 PM ET
Can't agree with that**
VaTechHokiesACC • 03/04/25 12:00 AM ET
Strongly disagree, the B12 is headed for the same place as the ACC ◄
VTCALS72 • 03/03/25 07:41 PM ET
I think ESPN and Fox will see more value in FSU/Clemson in B12
hokieZ71 • 03/03/25 07:43 PM ET
Then why wouldn't they see more value in leaving them in the ACC?
VTCALS72 • 03/03/25 07:50 PM ET
Because the Big XII isn’t tied to so much dead weight.
hokieZ71 • 03/03/25 08:10 PM ET
challenging that.
VTCALS72 • 03/04/25 07:44 AM ET
Interesting. Your example Duke could very well match
Big12 guy • 03/04/25 08:04 AM ET
I think either the B12 or ACC thinking they are going to compete
VTCALS72 • 03/04/25 11:20 AM ET
You have already made your decision. I just happen to see it differently. **
Big12 guy • 03/04/25 11:26 AM ET
XII has dead weight
obguthr • 03/04/25 07:25 AM ET
And WAY more isolated - Lubbock isn’t the end of the world
AnotherTechW • 03/04/25 09:24 AM ET
So...you're comparing Texas Tech to....BC? Wake? Syracuse? Pitt?
hokieZ71 • 03/04/25 01:42 PM ET
you have nailed it! **
AnotherTechW • 03/04/25 01:45 PM ET
I need a confirmation from ESPN or more reputable source**
RandomAsianGuy • 03/03/25 05:38 PM ET
One thing at a time
HokieAl • 03/03/25 04:53 PM ET
I don't think anyone leaves right now.
Baltimore_Hokie • 03/03/25 04:38 PM ET
$200M and a warm home

2hhoop3 • 03/04/25 11:47 AM ET
Exit fee or Grant of Rights?
mrcaniac • 03/03/25 03:47 PM ET
I thought exit was 3x the yearly payout. Should be about $140 million.
Truthahn • 03/03/25 04:20 PM ET
On the Flugaur show they were talking like it was combined.
Maroon Baboon • 03/03/25 04:14 PM ET
Yeah Flugar is more of a P3/B12 type guy so that is his spin.**
VTCALS72 • 03/03/25 07:44 PM ET
I think it is combined. Free and clear.
Maroon Baboon • 03/03/25 03:55 PM ET
Just kind of curious
