Remember when they tried that ACC Baseball tourney in Fenway?

They figured out rather quickly that nobody in Boston gives a ratz about BC, and they care even less about ACC baseball. Lol. They cancelled the thing once they figured out that as cool as Fenway is, it’s not gonna be cool to have 2 dozen fans there. So, they added Boston College for the Boston TV market (joke already) and then waited 15 years before creating an ACC Network In order to even try to capitalize on it. Remember the University of Texas alone and the PAC 12 had networks up and running years before the ACC did.

Another reason why WVU should be invited to the ACC
Victor Tango • 08/05/22 01:46 PM ET
I think it would move the TV needle more than you guys think**
Millpoint • 08/06/22 10:53 AM ET
I don’t understand why you said that, many if not most want WVU in the ACC.**
Stech • 08/06/22 04:02 PM ET
But for years, when it mattered, you advocated against WVU.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/07/22 03:56 PM ET
Not talking about you my friend
Millpoint • 08/07/22 06:41 AM ET
And a lot of people who don't even want VT to play WVU EVER AGAIN
VPI_1998 • 08/07/22 07:02 AM ET
LOL. And a game played just after we ditched them for another conference.
Truthahn • 08/07/22 05:57 PM ET
I’m all for WVU in the ACC, but that was beyond “annoying.”
BBBDatVT_ • 08/07/22 06:24 PM ET
The WVU/Pitt game
LoveSports • 08/05/22 11:37 PM ET
I'll be there
Millpoint • 08/06/22 10:54 AM ET
I hope some Pitt folks got tickets.
Truthahn • 08/07/22 05:58 PM ET
Couch burnings?**
EDGEMAN • 08/05/22 08:35 PM ET
Now, that’s a game I might watch. WVU shoulda been ACC #12
BBBDatVT_ • 08/05/22 05:34 PM ET
We could pretty much do that now.
Truthahn • 08/07/22 06:02 PM ET
BC was such a whiff

WVU should have been added a long time ago. (1) Content matters more than

They fell off the academic high horse w/ UL -
Hokie12thman • 08/05/22 07:29 PM ET
WVU makes the most sense
HOO86 • 08/05/22 05:11 PM ET
Devil's advocate...
ren_hoek • 08/06/22 08:27 PM ET
Cincinnati is who should come too.
HOO86 • 08/06/22 08:48 PM ET
Hard no on Memphis, SMU, Tulane, UAB, and Navy
ren_hoek • 08/07/22 09:13 AM ET
If they are willing to make the jump to Texas.
HOO86 • 08/07/22 12:16 PM ET
Well that’s craptastic. Can’t wait to donate money for those tickets. Lol.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/07/22 12:14 AM ET
We called for it 15 yrs ago but you ACC apologists turned your noses up.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/06/22 11:37 AM ET
Until recently most WVU fans were hoping this would happen
Millpoint • 08/06/22 10:59 AM ET
If I were WVU, no way I would sign onto that GOR. **
BBBDatVT_ • 08/06/22 11:34 AM ET
I agree - IMO. - WVU should be added - established heated rivalries
Hokie12thman • 08/05/22 04:10 PM ET
The thing is, it does move the TV needle, just like Ole Miss and Miss State**
