ND has an open invitation to the B1X.

They just haven't chosen to use it.

Worst case scenario
I85Hokie • 05/31/24 09:40 AM ET
A P2 super league is coming -- where is VT?
INSIDE99 • 06/01/24 12:26 AM ET
lmfao What crappola!! Keep posting, please. I need a dose of comedy
ancient alien 2018 • 06/01/24 09:24 PM ET
"move" where?**
Maroon Baboon • 06/01/24 01:13 AM ET
The P2
INSIDE99 • 06/01/24 02:16 AM ET
You are speaking in platitudes and I have a hard time telling what you mean
Maroon Baboon • 06/01/24 02:55 AM ET
Regardless of cost
INSIDE99 • 06/01/24 12:42 PM ET
Good response. To the frustration of both of us, we aren't privy to what VT
Maroon Baboon • 06/01/24 01:14 PM ET
Just please get us as far away from Notre Dame as possible
Sunsetunderground • 05/31/24 08:42 PM ET
Go to th SEC or B1G it’ll be tough to win a 🏈 Conference Championship, but
Stech • 05/31/24 04:39 PM ET
And I thought it was Happy Wife/Happy Life. Or maybe Happy Wife = challenge**
CrystalCoveHokie • 05/31/24 05:48 PM ET
🤣 I think you got it right!**
Stech • 05/31/24 09:29 PM ET
That is not it. IMHO the worst is
VTCALS72 • 05/31/24 02:31 PM ET
Worst case is VT in B12 with Pitt, Syr, Lou and BC. UVA and UM to B1G….
CrystalCoveHokie • 05/31/24 01:30 PM ET
Worse than that
obguthr • 05/31/24 01:44 PM ET
Temple will get after you **
MrBayAreaHokie • 05/31/24 05:41 PM ET
I vividly recall VTs last game vs Temple - winning by a missed XP during
VPI_1998 • 06/01/24 06:14 AM ET
That was such a let down year**
MrBayAreaHokie • 06/01/24 10:42 AM ET
Don’t forget ECU, JMU and ODU**
CrystalCoveHokie • 05/31/24 01:47 PM ET
FSU will get a better home. Clemson, probably
goldendomer • 05/31/24 11:18 AM ET
And you probably know where most college football fans hope ND goes.**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/31/24 06:08 PM ET
Too Hell? **
goldendomer • 06/01/24 01:37 PM ET
Did I say that? An alternate dimension would be satisfactory with me.**
ancient alien 2018 • 06/01/24 09:08 PM ET
Yes, but isn't their path through the ACC way easier?
MVIII • 05/31/24 04:31 PM ET
The financial differences may not be a wash though. If Clemson and FSU
VTHokie2000 • 06/01/24 10:49 AM ET
It just depends if it is $150 million or $500 million.
MVIII • 06/01/24 04:05 PM ET
Yes, it will be interesting to see how everything unfolds because there are
VTHokie2000 • 06/02/24 02:40 PM ET
The thing people have not.......
2hhoop3 • 06/01/24 11:41 AM ET
The one thing that Clemson may have going for it is history. Clemson built
VTHokie2000 • 06/01/24 12:05 PM ET
I have thought that all along, you don't sue your Conference unless another
Stech • 05/31/24 12:03 PM ET
Inside99 is right? lmao He's almost as big a no-nothing as all the other
ancient alien 2018 • 05/31/24 06:07 PM ET
Can't see ND going anywhere unless forced to, which means a requirement
wwhokie1 • 05/31/24 01:48 PM ET
ND surprised me in the INSIDE99 post so I understand that response, but I
Stech • 05/31/24 02:47 PM ET
They should feel good......
2hhoop3 • 05/31/24 02:30 PM ET
Good money setup as well**
TerryD • 05/31/24 02:12 PM ET
No way until a new round of contracts are negotiated. **
Big12 guy • 05/31/24 12:08 PM ET
To Stech: No way 7+1 teams move from the ACC to the P2, no matter
Big12 guy • 05/31/24 12:19 PM ET
Oregon and Washington were added at $30M per year. That’s $240M for 7+1**
hokieZ71 • 05/31/24 08:38 PM ET
And that is less than the B12 pays. **
Big12 guy • 05/31/24 09:39 PM ET
Less than the ACC pays. 🤷‍♂️. The money’s starting to not make sense.
hokieZ71 • 05/31/24 09:52 PM ET
Something that may be worth considering is that the current 12-team CFP
VTHokie2000 • 06/01/24 10:55 AM ET
1st last question I said was who knows when? As n right now no 1 knows, 2nd
Stech • 05/31/24 12:58 PM ET
Why would ESPN push a settlement if FSU/Clemson are headed to the Big?
VTCALS72 • 05/31/24 07:58 PM ET
What do you think is going to happen?**
Stech • 05/31/24 09:33 PM ET
Whatever ESPN dictates but it makes no sense
VTCALS72 • 05/31/24 10:35 PM ET
At the micro level, I can see why you would say that, time will tell if you
Stech • 05/31/24 11:03 PM ET
I wish I could believe they did not control things but---
VTCALS72 • 06/01/24 08:14 AM ET
INSIDE99 says that ESPN will be fairly compensated when/if FSU & Clemson go
Stech • 06/01/24 12:00 PM ET
Yeah I get that but
VTCALS72 • 06/01/24 12:25 PM ET
Right word is protecting/keeping. They still have SC & FL, but Va & NC can
Stech • 06/01/24 01:12 PM ET
If FSU and Clemson have such a great value to the Big
VTCALS72 • 06/01/24 07:03 PM ET
Because the SEC already has the University of Florida & South Carolina, but
Stech • 06/01/24 07:47 PM ET
ESPN is not the all-powerful puppet master that we read about on the web.
33laszlo99 • 06/01/24 09:30 AM ET
I hate to break it to you......
2hhoop3 • 06/01/24 09:50 AM ET
Do you think ESPN can prevent the exit od FSU & Clemson?**
33laszlo99 • 06/01/24 10:09 AM ET
Permanently......
2hhoop3 • 06/01/24 10:51 AM ET
Not 2hhoop3, but absolutely
obguthr • 06/01/24 10:37 AM ET
However this plays out, ESPN will give the ACC an offer they can't refuse.
Big12 guy • 05/31/24 01:06 PM ET
"Settle" Why? The GOR is unbreakable and the only "settling" the ACC
ancient alien 2018 • 05/31/24 06:13 PM ET
Your opinion, not a fact. Seems pretty risky to take this to judgement.
Big12 guy • 05/31/24 06:26 PM ET
Why would you think the ESPN/ACC contract will offer any relief to FSU/Clem
VTCALS72 • 05/31/24 08:04 PM ET
Because ESPN is involved. I don't think for one second that ESPN wants the
Big12 guy • 05/31/24 09:36 PM ET
That is nice but did not answer my question,
VTCALS72 • 05/31/24 10:32 PM ET
1st point. FSU and Clemson are screaming about the ESPN/ACC contract
Big12 guy • 05/31/24 11:43 PM ET
You would not make it as a lawyer, too much truth
VTCALS72 • 06/01/24 08:09 AM ET
Doubt all 7 have landing spots. But more than two could have landing spots
wwhokie1 • 05/31/24 01:53 PM ET
Well Inside99 said it will all be settled by July 4th with fireworks, grab
Stech • 05/31/24 01:34 PM ET
FSU will announce before August 15
INSIDE99 • 06/01/24 01:03 AM ET
Having gone through all of this before, I have come to the conclusion
Big12 guy • 05/31/24 02:54 PM ET
There is no need for anyone else to sue the ACC
HokieAl • 05/31/24 01:34 PM ET
No, it's not the interest in leaving, it's the landing spots if they do. **
Big12 guy • 05/31/24 02:55 PM ET
Agree, wait to see what happens with the FSU and Clemson lawsuits.**
wwhokie1 • 05/31/24 01:55 PM ET
sorry, I don't understand what you are saying no way to.**
Stech • 05/31/24 12:13 PM ET
We all assume they will have a landing spot, but just like everyone
Big12 guy • 05/31/24 11:37 AM ET
ND has an open invitation to the B1X. ◄
EDGEMAN • 05/31/24 11:51 AM ET

Big12 guy • 05/31/24 11:56 AM ET
You aren't completely wrong. An ACC with FSU and Clemson would definitely
Big12 guy • 05/31/24 10:27 AM ET
WVU is a B12 type team through and through. All that is lacking is
VTCALS72 • 05/31/24 08:10 PM ET
I think they are more of an SEC type than B12, but they fit just fine.
Big12 guy • 05/31/24 09:38 PM ET
ACC was a step ahead when they expanded with Miami and VT. But the
wwhokie1 • 05/31/24 02:00 PM ET
How much you willing to bet that FSU and Clem dont end up in SEC/B1G?**
