I also don't think SEC, B1G, FOX and ESPN want to see TV Contracts & GORs

torn up by the courts. Bad precedent. There might be a day when Alabama says, "we aren't making enough money in the SEC, we could make more in the B1G." Or maybe the other way around with Ohio State and the SEC. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 6/18/2024, 11:06:16 PM

Why is all the talk about the Big12 taking ACC members…,
jjhokie2 • 06/18/24 04:56 PM ET
If we keep our two playoff slots, why jump to the other conference?
Truthahn • 06/20/24 11:43 AM ET
Most realignment talk is a product of either hope or fear. What do you
33laszlo99 • 06/19/24 08:15 AM ET
Yeah most B12 boosters pronouncement
Vippie1 • 06/19/24 09:59 AM ET
Why would they? You can make a case for WVU, UCF
VTCALS72 • 06/19/24 05:22 PM ET
SMU, Cal, Stanford don't make sense for regionality**
HouClone • 06/19/24 05:49 PM ET
Neither do Az, AZ ST, Col and Utah
VTCALS72 • 06/19/24 07:14 PM ET
Yeah, maybe. They will still run into the same issues the Pac had before.
HouClone • 06/20/24 03:05 PM ET
That is why the PAC will come back
VTCALS72 • 06/20/24 08:44 PM ET
Ya, for VT fans, that would be the play. The business people might look at
Big12 guy • 06/19/24 10:03 AM ET
I don't think anyone outside of either P2 Conference knows who they want...
EDGEMAN • 06/19/24 08:26 AM ET
Because the talk is coming from Big 12 people**
wwhokie1 • 06/19/24 12:13 AM ET
I have not seen a lot of chatter about Big 12 raiding ACC**
ombandit • 06/18/24 06:18 PM ET
Not raiding, no, but picking up teams from the aftermath, yes.
Truthahn • 06/19/24 12:50 PM ET
We have a network. They don't.
Maroon Baboon • 06/18/24 05:14 PM ET
Maybe the ACCN makes a PAC/ACC merger possible?
Truthahn • 06/20/24 10:07 AM ET
I think that is going to be huge going forward.
VTCALS72 • 06/19/24 06:53 AM ET
Minus FSU, Clemson and UNC it’s definitely not
Millpoint • 06/18/24 05:07 PM ET
That's widely believed, but
obguthr • 06/19/24 07:09 AM ET
Documented the B12 gave the ACC their GOR, if it’s null, it’s null for both
Stech • 06/18/24 09:41 PM ET
The P2 has zero targets in the B12.**
neworleanshoo • 06/19/24 10:07 AM ET
Probably right not many, but if basketball expands 🏀 tourney and pays
Stech • 06/19/24 10:48 AM ET
If that's the case, I can see WVU and UCF moving to the ACC IOT...
EDGEMAN • 06/19/24 07:15 AM ET
That would have worked just 3 years ago, but the ACC did not
Big12 guy • 06/19/24 08:11 AM ET
You hit this one out of the ball park
DMV Gobbler • 06/19/24 07:07 AM ET
Hate to tell you but........
2hhoop3 • 06/19/24 12:40 PM ET
I don't think you hated to tell him that... :)**
NokieHokie • 06/19/24 01:40 PM ET
I really did.....

ancient alien 2018 • 06/21/24 12:05 AM ET
Maybe we should call him "MerQury" haha!**
NokieHokie • 06/19/24 02:34 PM ET
This is why FSU & Clemson could be doing an SMU, no money but fight GOR.
Stech • 06/19/24 09:31 AM ET
I think it was the ACC that copied it, but that doesn't matter,
Big12 guy • 06/19/24 07:24 AM ET
Guarantee there are B12 schools who want into the P2.
EDGEMAN • 06/19/24 08:29 AM ET
No doubt. No school would not take a P2 invite. **
Big12 guy • 06/19/24 08:46 AM ET
I don't agree. The remaining 14 are as strong as the B12 teams
VTCALS72 • 06/18/24 07:03 PM ET
Me, too. Also, the ACCN and the ND deal give the ACC the edge.
Truthahn • 06/20/24 10:38 AM ET
I hadn't gotten around to thinking about the scheduling angle but, you are
VTCALS72 • 06/20/24 11:55 AM ET
Big12 also lost their top 3 programs in recent years.
LonghornHokie • 06/18/24 06:26 PM ET
While the departure of those three.....
2hhoop3 • 06/18/24 05:49 PM ET
True… and Utah, Colorado, Arizona and ASU gives them more gravitas.**
Hotus • 06/18/24 05:42 PM ET
I agree with your first point, but .......
mjfhokie • 06/18/24 05:17 PM ET
Big 12 teams are only breaking the GOR to go to the Big 10 or SEC. **
HouClone • 06/18/24 06:09 PM ET
Same for ACC teams**
VTCALS72 • 06/18/24 07:04 PM ET
I also don't think SEC, B1G, FOX and ESPN want to see TV Contracts & GORs ◄
Maroon Baboon • 06/18/24 05:33 PM ET
Exactly, breaks the media deals all apart
DMV Gobbler • 06/19/24 10:20 AM ET
ACC has passed up B12 teams multiple times
HokieAl • 06/18/24 05:02 PM ET
Your first point is just passed over by many, and I don't think many
Big12 guy • 06/18/24 06:31 PM ET
Exactly nobody in the ACC or big 12 is fighting their GORs to
VTCALS72 • 06/18/24 07:07 PM ET
Yes, and is why I think the ACC will be fine if they
Big12 guy • 06/18/24 07:36 PM ET
A good time for the Mag 7 and some B12 schools to skim the cream and form
IB4TECH • 06/18/24 07:30 PM ET
Except that 10 seconds later FSU would be *****ing to get out of the MAG7.
Truthahn • 06/20/24 10:16 AM ET
This is 100% the correct answer to the current crisis-
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/19/24 11:56 AM ET
That's what I've been thinking
obguthr • 06/19/24 07:23 AM ET
The mag7 can do their own thing if they want - that has nothing
Big12 guy • 06/18/24 07:42 PM ET
A conference with 7 members probably isn't enough members to generate
VTHokie2000 • 06/18/24 10:02 PM ET
Though a 10 team league is perfect
HouClone • 06/18/24 11:00 PM ET
While that may be true about perception, the weaknesses suddenly become
