Stanford has the best athletic department in the NCAA

Just look at all the Directors Cups they win. Their campus is amazing as are their Olympic sports facilities. The Avery Aquatics Center is the best in the world. There is display outside it with all the swimming and water polo Olympians over the years that is astounding. And they don't really care that much about football. They may just be above all this. They have ridiculously wealthy alumni who give, they have an incredible academic reputation, they have world class facilities, their campus is amazing (you can smell eucalyptus year round), the weather is amazing.........they will still get amazing recruiting classes in the other sports, send athletes to the Olympics, and survive above the fray.

Awful Announcing: ESPN seems to be PAC12 Favorites
HOO86 • 07/14/22 10:42 PM ET
I grew up on the west coast, and have always liked
SkyHokie • 07/16/22 05:51 PM ET
This would solidify a third major conference. Not as big as the SEC/B1G,
JKHokie-RunFor32 • 07/16/22 09:16 AM ET
This would awesome for me
MrBayAreaHokie • 07/15/22 07:39 PM ET
I liked being able to drive down to San Jose to see us in the NCAA
HwoodHokie • 07/15/22 09:06 PM ET
my wife got on tv a lot with her hokie sign at San Jose 😂**
MrBayAreaHokie • 07/15/22 10:16 PM ET
GThey switched their basbeballl from Marus Johnson /Steve Physioc to Bill W
LocalExperts • 07/15/22 12:48 PM ET
The TV Alliance, I get, but the scheduling, we don't play each other enough
Stech • 07/15/22 12:07 PM ET
We wouldn't be spreading it out.
Atlee Hokie • 07/15/22 11:40 PM ET
well we have four games OOC. 2-3 games btw east and west would
VTNSC • 07/15/22 03:59 PM ET
Another case of the ACC being reactionary. I saw an article a few days
133193Hokie • 07/15/22 10:53 AM ET
What do you mean, "rather have stuff not as far away?"
hokieZ71 • 07/15/22 09:31 AM ET
I was thinking 1 time zone rather than 3.
HOO86 • 07/15/22 09:55 AM ET
Where have we heard this before?
33laszlo99 • 07/15/22 12:04 AM ET
It reminds me of the Big 8 and SWC merger
Truthahn • 07/15/22 12:10 PM ET
The 10 minus WSU and OSU would be solid adds.
4x4hokies • 07/14/22 11:31 PM ET
I really like that idea of a NATIONAL conference
HwoodHokie • 07/15/22 11:09 PM ET
Listen to ESPN, then just take the top four teams from the PAC.
Truthahn • 07/15/22 11:42 AM ET
I am really curious what ND's role in this will
goldendomer • 07/14/22 11:08 PM ET
If ACC added Pac10 teams, would ND want to play 8 ACC games, be eligible
hokiesrule98 • 07/15/22 09:56 AM ET
ND joined the ACC in 2020 in football, so their independent streak is 1 yr,
Stech • 07/15/22 07:57 PM ET
No, that isn't independent at that point. **
goldendomer • 07/15/22 11:21 AM ET
Ironically, ND independence is helping save us now, IMO.
Truthahn • 07/15/22 11:52 AM ET
True, weird turn of events.**
goldendomer • 07/15/22 12:08 PM ET
Independent TV contract. Point is, you play Stanford every year, so now
hokiesrule98 • 07/15/22 11:43 AM ET
The ND football obligation should not exceed the contracted 5 games/year
TerryD • 07/15/22 12:34 PM ET
You weren't interested in ND doing 5 ACC, so speak for yourself, correct?
Stech • 07/15/22 07:45 PM ET
I am not Jack Swarbrick
TerryD • 07/16/22 08:09 AM ET
Fans would be incredibly upset with that deal. Oh goodness the anger that
goldendomer • 07/15/22 12:09 PM ET
I'd be for ACCCG access for ND with just 6 games
Truthahn • 07/15/22 12:08 PM ET
No thanks**
TerryD • 07/15/22 12:35 PM ET
Keeps ND independent..
hokieZ71 • 07/15/22 09:37 AM ET
Interesting post. The P2 would still have IU, UK, MSU, and UCLA blue bloods
Maroon Baboon • 07/15/22 10:32 AM ET
You and Terry downplayed it yesterday...second thoughts?
daveinop • 07/15/22 08:23 AM ET
I am still downplaying it. But I try to be open minded to things that may
goldendomer • 07/15/22 10:38 AM ET
If the ACC/PAC avoid ruination
daveinop • 07/15/22 11:50 AM ET
Exactly. Same here.**
TerryD • 07/15/22 10:46 AM ET
ND doesn't want to be the big fish
TerryD • 07/15/22 10:35 AM ET
I think they can and likely will as long as
daveinop • 07/15/22 11:53 AM ET
Why would their role change from what it is now?
Atlee Hokie • 07/15/22 07:42 AM ET
Keep their INDY and raise from NBC, bout it**
MrFantastic! • 07/15/22 06:48 AM ET
Stanford play a role in this?**
VaTechHokiesACC • 07/15/22 02:35 AM ET
Stanford has the best athletic department in the NCAA ◄
Happy Dog • 07/15/22 05:41 AM ET
Agreed. Very impressive (and I’m an alum of 1 of the former Pac12 schools
HwoodHokie • 07/15/22 10:56 PM ET
I wondered why the B1G didn't take Stanford over UCLA.
HokieJay • 07/15/22 01:06 PM ET
Stanford doesn't need the B10
Happy Dog • 07/16/22 06:35 AM ET
Yep, they put LA on lockdown. **
VaTechHokiesACC • 07/15/22 09:34 PM ET
So a media alliance with “maybe” some scheduling of games
HokieAl • 07/14/22 10:59 PM ET
Interesting info.
