Doesn't matter if they care, no one cares about them

media revenue comes from people wanting to turn on the tv and watch you play. No one outside their tiny alumni base is looking fro an SMU game to watch, so it will join 6 out of 7 ACC games every week that are streaming on the ESPN app, rather than on one of the broadcast channels..but every SEC game will be on a broadcast channel...not because ESPN loves the SEC more, but because ESPN is in the business of making money and those timeslots make more money when an SEC team is in them. Same is true for CAL and Stanford, the number of people searching for their game streaming at 10:30 eastern is about 0, plus their alumni don't care either...what a great addition.

Yes. For about 7 years.
HOO86 • 08/27/23 06:13 PM ET
Not adding them would have the same result, because it doesn't fix anything
Vienna_Hokie • 08/27/23 11:57 AM ET
Mostly yes I think so
HokieAl • 08/27/23 09:32 AM ET
Adding 3 more "deadwood" teams will build dissatisfaction within the ACC
EDGEMAN • 08/27/23 05:03 AM ET
No, the exact opposite
TerryD • 08/27/23 08:38 AM ET
Sure, an ACC that won't be worth crap for football, but ND won't care
Vienna_Hokie • 08/27/23 11:44 AM ET
Ahh
MrFantastic! • 08/27/23 10:47 AM ET
Yeah, so many folks think it will be easy to just leave the ACC...
Old Line Hokie • 08/27/23 11:33 AM ET
Boy, so negative. SMU does care about football not sure about the other 2.

Winning a road game after traveling across the country in regular season
OrlandoHokie • 08/27/23 12:07 PM ET
ND travels to California every year in late November
TerryD • 08/27/23 11:35 PM ET
I think your analysis........

Vienna_Hokie • 08/27/23 11:38 AM ET
I will wait for numbers. It will be different for them too. Who knows who
VTNSC • 08/27/23 11:53 AM ET
The SEC does expect to have players as "official" employees.
33laszlo99 • 08/27/23 10:47 AM ET
It’s not about making the ACC stronger
Millpoint • 08/27/23 08:47 AM ET
LOL, ND has a presence in all 50 states, they have a national TV contract
Vienna_Hokie • 08/27/23 11:46 AM ET
Really ? ND can go to Texas any time it wants to. They have National **
VTNSC • 08/27/23 09:56 AM ET
There’s already 100% dissatisfaction. We have a Forest of deadwood.
hokieZ71 • 08/27/23 07:27 AM ET
I feel that “forest of deadwood” is also in the P2, but…
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/27/23 11:04 AM ET
The B1G do a good job with ratings. So does the SEC.
HOO86 • 08/27/23 06:22 PM ET
Spot on!**
Stech • 08/27/23 07:30 PM ET
That might be the best summary of the ACC I have ever read**
obguthr • 08/27/23 09:35 AM ET
I don't think this will satisfy FSU wanting to close the money gap.
Maroon Baboon • 08/26/23 11:48 PM ET
And guess what they are still locked in till 2036
Mercury • 08/27/23 08:14 AM ET
The money gap will widen.**
EDGEMAN • 08/27/23 07:28 AM ET
If Notre Dame adds a 6th ACC game & FSU votes for it, probably, if not
Stech • 08/26/23 10:45 PM ET
Too much to be settled before 2026. In Dallas, August 30, the CFP mgt.
33laszlo99 • 08/26/23 11:12 PM ET
If you’re talking about Wed’s meeting, it’ll be interesting 2 see results
Stech • 08/26/23 11:36 PM ET
It could.......
2hhoop3 • 08/26/23 10:36 PM ET
What exactly does the 2026 ESPN look-in entail?
BAMRising • 08/26/23 11:39 PM ET
The addition of three schools who have little interest in football means...
EDGEMAN • 08/27/23 05:12 AM ET
Inflation is so high, that would actually be great.
Truthahn • 08/27/23 02:09 PM ET
If ESPN isn't in the ongoing discussions, there shouldn't be any**
