I think the non P2 will most definitely compete. Not many out here

understand what VT is to their community, fans, conference and region. Just as you guys may not understand just how feverishly the K-Staters love their football team, and fill the stadium even in freezing rain. College football is a regional sport, and while we have the blue bloods, and the seemingly the same brands in the top 10, it's my contention that making these "national" conferences will only work for a while. people will watch, they will like the spectacle, then they will turn their attention to their local and regional teams. There are still the same amount of kids to recruit, and they want to play for a winner, and get into the playoffs. Do you think that Indiana and rutgers is going to be able to out recruit VT? I don't. The media money is not shared with the kids, so they will not go to a school because they make 20M or so more a year from ESPN. The auto's in the playoffs will be the equalizer, and as of right now there are 3 of the P4 that want to change that. Maybe the ACC needs to wake up, and realize that they are not in the same group as the PAC conference - and the PAC conference thought they were the B10.

For the umpteenth time we can’t take big 12 teams they are ina. GOR!!!!**
HokieJamie • 08/10/23 09:13 PM ET
Even if they weren't in a GOR I don't think it would be an option
xx97 • 08/10/23 09:16 PM ET
That’s why serious negotiations are happening

I don't consider becoming the new G5 a bright future, but your point stands**

It's not relative to the SEC and B1G. It's relative to everyone else**

The ACC is screwed then because no B12 schools are leaving for the ACC**
xx97 • 08/10/23 09:09 PM ET
Why not? If the ACC can offer more money, which they should
HokiePail • 08/10/23 09:14 PM ET
ACC is unstable and can't offer more money

HokiePail • 08/10/23 09:22 PM ET
No, the B12 is the best basketball conference in the country

Big12 guy • 08/10/23 08:54 PM ET
You keep saying the ACC "didn't want" all these schools
cburgroop • 08/11/23 06:33 AM ET
Then why do some want them now? **
Big12 guy • 08/11/23 08:16 AM ET
The ACC likely would’ve taken some of them if the $$$ was there
cburgroop • 08/11/23 12:06 PM ET
So the money is different now? it goes to the bigger picture. You guys
Big12 guy • 08/11/23 12:27 PM ET
ACC’s leadership has always been doomed to fail.
hokieZ71 • 08/10/23 07:24 PM ET
Well, we had Texas, so i get it. **
Big12 guy • 08/10/23 08:56 PM ET
Even if the ACC could cherry pick the B12 in 2031, still won't be enough.
Maroon Baboon • 08/10/23 06:10 PM ET
The ACC is screwed without a new TV deal closing the financial gap, and

Big12 guy • 08/10/23 08:25 PM ET
My reasoning, the P2 won't share any playoff $$$
VTCALS72 • 08/10/23 08:45 PM ET
That will be the nail in the coffin, and we will have a different league. **
Big12 guy • 08/11/23 08:17 AM ET
Agree but that is what I see coming and has been the plan all along**
VTCALS72 • 08/11/23 08:28 AM ET
There will always be college football on. i'll watch the MAC - those

Why would Big 12 schools want to join the ACC just before the ACC's GOR

I don't think Colorado really "wanted" to return to the B12

Colorado left because of Texas and the instability in the conference when
