What?? who said anything about a conspiracy??

All I was saying is there is NO way that the majority of ACC institutions are going to stand pat and do nothing while getting relegated to a bottom tier status behind not only big names (e.g. Georgia,Alabama, Ohio State etc) but Maryland, Iowa, Minnesota, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss etc despite whatever you feel like their “market value” is. The ACC as a whole may not survive but you can bet that a large number individual institutions will do what they have to to survive.

What if the ACC top dogs all want out
knapnhokie 08/04/23 04:18 PM ET
I keep trying to figure out who exactly are the ACC's top dogs

Miami is a national brand, doesn't matter how much they suck on the field
Vienna_Hokie 08/04/23 06:11 PM ET
Unfortunately they don't buy tickets to Miami's away games or their bowls.

attendance no longer a metric. the future is streaming subscriptions**

This is the best rivalry post I have ever seen. Well done.**

As I was writing it, I thought, should I embellish....

VT football despite recent records is a national brand.
knapnhokie 08/04/23 07:11 PM ET
We were, but I think that is fading fast if not gone
Vienna_Hokie 08/04/23 07:37 PM ET
Agree. Based on recent performance. Clemson is big dog. FSU is a poodle
VTBoar 08/04/23 06:05 PM ET
FSU and Miami are more valuable media properties than anyone...
Vienna_Hokie 08/04/23 06:15 PM ET
And go where?**
HokieJamie 08/04/23 05:56 PM ET
It takes 11. ACC has contract look-ins w/ ESPN in

Right About ESPN Deciding ACC Fate

Great post. Rare to see logic here. **
SpeakToDamien 08/04/23 05:18 PM ET
Garbage back-handed slap at the board. Classy.
Maroon Baboon 08/04/23 05:35 PM ET
I see quite a bit taking place.
HOO86 08/04/23 06:11 PM ET
Relax. More that this topic universally, every message board (especially
SpeakToDamien 08/04/23 05:57 PM ET
Oh? Enlighten us.**

The CFP is fixin' to become the football version of a B1G-SEC Challenge.
Maroon Baboon 08/04/23 05:03 PM ET
Agree 1000000%.
RonMexicoHokie 08/04/23 05:12 PM ET
Said exactly the same thing yesterday, we are at peak CFB
Vienna_Hokie 08/04/23 06:04 PM ET
As a motorsports fan, CART and NASCAR should be red-flags to anyone
run_VT 08/05/23 12:39 PM ET
there's nothing to negotiate. Nobody has any leverage at all.**
reestuart 08/04/23 04:54 PM ET
If you are the ACC why negotiate
Mercury 08/04/23 04:38 PM ET
It’s definitely headed that way…
HydrogenHokie 08/04/23 04:31 PM ET
Lol. The majority of acc schools are paid market
SpeakToDamien 08/04/23 05:11 PM ET
What?? who said anything about a conspiracy??
HydrogenHokie 08/04/23 06:21 PM ET
Market has nothing to do with on field performance, it's media draw
Vienna_Hokie 08/04/23 06:28 PM ET
Well I agree with that and never said otherwise, but on a national level
HydrogenHokie 08/04/23 06:43 PM ET
Stop, that's just being pedantic. UNC and Indiana would be a comparison
Vienna_Hokie 08/04/23 07:49 PM ET
Disagree about VT vs Minn marketability
Hardcore_Hokie 08/04/23 09:23 PM ET
If you are paid market, you have no options **
SpeakToDamien 08/04/23 06:23 PM ET
Are you seriously trying to argue that individual brands in the ACC..
HydrogenHokie 08/04/23 06:38 PM ET
You said "maiority". Fsu,Clemson and Miami
