I'd like to see it be just TV if that is what you mean.

A merger might work best IMO if it is for TV purposes only. Get most PAC games onto Apple and others on ABC/ESPN/ACCN maybe. For the PAC, they want a chance at a CFP championship slot independent of the ACC, so keep the leagues separate, but just have a heavy scheduling partnership, like whatever the Alliance was supposed to do. Maybe put a big cross league football game or basketball challenge into Las Vegas every year, etc. But absolutely put Utah Men's Lacrosse into the ACC. :^) We actually need a sixth team. ** Edited by Truthahn at 8/4/2023, 11:06:48 AM

I wonder if we see a ACC - PAC 9 merger?
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 10:19 AM ET
I believe people would.......
2hhoop3 • 08/04/23 03:06 PM ET
I guess this is a concern for Stanford**
Va AandM • 08/04/23 04:39 PM ET
I think it is a concern......
2hhoop3 • 08/04/23 05:38 PM ET
No, I doubt it
GoobyPls • 08/04/23 02:55 PM ET
This would have worked before USC and UCLA left.
wwhokie1 • 08/04/23 12:57 PM ET
The math does not even come close to working, no value to ACC

Pac 9 with a GOR is a different ballgame
Colonel Jessup • 08/04/23 12:48 PM ET
How would that work?
Vienna_Hokie • 08/04/23 01:27 PM ET
You are assuming ESPN will not step up the money with the APAC merger, not
Stech • 08/04/23 12:02 PM ET
I just addressed that below. We aren’t consuming the Pac9. We are merging**
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 10:58 AM ET
OK, even assuming the base is current payouts, which seems unrealistic
Vienna_Hokie • 08/04/23 11:55 AM ET
PAC 12 viewership was fine. They just don’t have an eastern time slot.
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 12:00 PM ET
ACC/PAC would need to fork over $864M to keep the status quo
Victor Tango • 08/04/23 10:43 AM ET
No a merger doesn’t mean the Pac9 gets what we get.
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 10:51 AM ET
Instead of a merger, how about an alliance?
EDGEMAN • 08/04/23 11:13 AM ET
Lol, nice pull. Nah it’d have to be something more tangible.**
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 11:24 AM ET
I'd rather not lose the money we get now.**

Doubtful, since UW and Oregon have put on the knee pads for a B1X invite
EDGEMAN • 08/04/23 10:31 AM ET
Nah I don’t think that’s going to happen until 2030
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 10:37 AM ET
aTm didn't want Big-TX in the SEC, but big conferences tell their members..
EDGEMAN • 08/04/23 10:59 AM ET
It's funny - aTm assisted in this stupid destruction of college football
VPI_1998 • 08/04/23 12:50 PM ET
They'll always be little brother. LOL.**
reestuart • 08/04/23 01:01 PM ET
By the way USC controls LA not the Big Ten.
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 11:04 AM ET
Doubt the Big10 let USC tell them anything
vtka93 • 08/04/23 11:14 AM ET
USC is money. That 7B contract has USC’s prints all on it.
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 11:27 AM ET
Texas rolled up like 14 years later too**
hokieZ71 • 08/04/23 11:03 AM ET
Nope, seems they weren't willing to bend over 1/2 way**
