A wilted B12 is better than no B12. They will be a P1 in basketball if

you guys don't figure things out. Everyone decent in your conference has one foot out the door. That is an untenable situation if you are Cuse, BC, Wake, Duke, Louisville, GT, or even ND. That is assuming all of the mag 7 have invites, and I'm not convinced they all do at this time. What happens to the schools that are left behind? They are a voting block too, and this idea that they will just fold into the B12 after you guys (7) secure your future is dangerous for the ACC. None of the New B12 teams fit your criteria for expansion, but all of them were there for the taking. The climate has changed, as there is a clear P2, and the B12, and ACC ain't it. Expand now to be a clear #3 or #4, or we just might end up with 3 power conferences. The P2, and the best of the rest.

Help me understand how it makes sense to add Stanford and Cal
HokieR • 08/08/23 06:02 AM ET
For us or them?
Truthahn • 08/08/23 01:25 PM ET
i think with ACCN as in-market in California it could generate $60M+ /year**
vtce2000 • 08/08/23 11:12 AM ET
It makes sense if it's football only.
tarheelblue • 08/08/23 10:51 AM ET
So VT can be put into a scheduling pod with them, redeye to the west coast,
Maroon Effect • 08/08/23 09:45 AM ET
Football only could work...all sports no way**

How many P5 level quality teams remain in the footprint of the current ACC?
Tuckahokie • 08/08/23 08:56 AM ET
Adding the best ones available doesn't make it a good move.**
Pylons • 08/08/23 09:04 AM ET
It doesn't. There's no good reason to do it.**
reestuart • 08/08/23 08:41 AM ET
It doesnt at all**
HokieJamie • 08/08/23 08:18 AM ET
It doesn’t make sense for the ACC and especially not for Stanford and Cal.
RoswellGAHokie • 08/08/23 07:59 AM ET
I'm always one to try and figure out how things could work.

Stay? They dont have a tv deal**
HokieJamie • 08/08/23 08:38 AM ET
Why? They seem to have positioned themselves well.
HokieR • 08/08/23 08:17 AM ET
So it seems I agree but
MrFantastic! • 08/08/23 08:31 AM ET
It seems that ESPN will only pay pro rata for P5 schools…
BROman Hokie • 08/08/23 07:27 AM ET
No not espn but more reigning in crazy rights

Please no more private schools. **
RoswellGAHokie • 08/08/23 07:56 AM ET
It makes no sense...
jesuisvtguy • 08/08/23 06:45 AM ET
I woke up thinking about the teams with the least chance to leave the ACC.
hokieZ71 • 08/08/23 06:29 AM ET
Tulane and SMU don't have enough fans. Louisiana is LSU .**
SpeakToDamien • 08/08/23 09:15 AM ET
Is my sarcasm really that dry to everybody?**
hokieZ71 • 08/08/23 09:25 AM ET
You had me until SMU**
Va AandM • 08/08/23 08:53 AM ET
What about the travel for the study and book groups though?
Pylons • 08/08/23 07:27 AM ET
What that’s happening does make sense? Honest question.**
hokieZ71 • 08/08/23 07:38 AM ET
Conferences adding teams that they think enhance their media value?**
Pylons • 08/08/23 07:43 AM ET
I think we need at least six (maybe seven) and go back to some sort of

Divisions sounds like 1990 thinking...
jesuisvtguy • 08/08/23 07:00 AM ET
Well, at some point, the Big Ten and SEC are only going to play each other.
