Maybe that is the marching orders from the Presidents to whom they report

Maybe some of the ACC Presidents are putting on the breaks and saying, lets continue to be an amateur league with good academics and good athletics. I hope so ** Edited by VictoryTurkey at 6/27/2024, 11:02:42 AM

SEC & B1G Both Currently Have Things in the Oven
WarHog38 • 06/26/24 05:16 PM ET
ACC/ESPN contract
INSIDE99 • 06/27/24 03:41 PM ET
IMO ESPN is waiting until the last moment JIC FSU or Clemson leave.
Truthahn • 06/28/24 12:13 PM ET
Maybe ESPNs end game is FSU and Clemson to the SEC and everybody else
VTCALS72 • 06/26/24 06:44 PM ET
I'll give you a very simple reason why Jim Phillips is a massive failure:
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/27/24 10:32 AM ET
Underqualified and too slow, too late to learn on the fly**
Maroon Unit • 06/27/24 02:56 PM ET
Maybe it is a reflection of so many small private schools within the ACC.
132863Hokie • 06/27/24 01:19 PM ET
Poor Trangs-
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/27/24 03:32 PM ET
Is that in Philips or Babcock's job description or is it
VTCALS72 • 06/27/24 12:46 PM ET
Nobody-
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/27/24 01:01 PM ET
I am sure the ESPN contract is preventing him from doing much as opposed
VTinSC • 06/27/24 02:45 PM ET
"Everyone acts like the PAC-12 imploding was all George Kliavkoff's fault"
VTCALS72 • 06/27/24 01:11 PM ET
Nobody at ESPN dictated to Jim Phillips that the ACC had to add Stanford,
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/27/24 03:37 PM ET
So nobody at ESPN dictated but Wake and ND did?
VTCALS72 • 06/27/24 04:09 PM ET
I just don't buy into the idea that these schools were
Big12 guy • 06/27/24 04:50 PM ET
That's all well and good I suppose, but the million dollar question-
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/28/24 10:53 AM ET
I'll answer that question with a B12 school that is
Big12 guy • 06/28/24 11:17 AM ET
I have lots of issues with your takes here-
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/28/24 11:53 AM ET
VT being better in the B12 or ACC completely rests on the media deals,
Big12 guy • 06/28/24 01:09 PM ET
They already have, I forget the RB name but he went to Washington formerly
VTCALS72 • 06/28/24 09:37 PM ET
A common error out here in Kansas is
Big12 guy • 06/28/24 09:53 PM ET
Ok, got to do this
VTCALS72 • 06/29/24 07:44 AM ET
Yep**
Big12 guy • 06/29/24 07:46 AM ET
John Riggins is the RB you reference.
RJHokie • 06/28/24 09:39 PM ET
Nope, not him. Larry Brown maybe?**
VTCALS72 • 06/29/24 07:48 AM ET
Bingo**
Big12 guy • 06/29/24 01:56 PM ET
He began his career with the Jets.
Atlee Hokie • 06/28/24 10:49 PM ET
I think you're right........
2hhoop3 • 06/28/24 10:58 PM ET
Also came back to the Skins with the condition of a no-trade contract. **
RJHokie • 06/28/24 11:01 PM ET
Yep......
2hhoop3 • 06/28/24 11:06 PM ET
His fame and fortune, good or bad, resides with the Skins though.
RJHokie • 06/28/24 10:54 PM ET
I'll be glad to toss you a cold can of Lite when/if that day comes.**
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/28/24 04:24 PM ET
You're not wrong, but the ACC hired a middling sports admin
HokieNoVA • 06/27/24 12:26 PM ET
Agree, wholeheartedly.
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/27/24 12:43 PM ET
You may have valid points......
2hhoop3 • 06/27/24 01:14 PM ET
Whether he's a stalking horse, or not-
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/27/24 03:29 PM ET
Interesting that you.......
2hhoop3 • 06/27/24 03:48 PM ET
I don't care if he was holding the worst hand of cards possible-
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/27/24 03:54 PM ET
You are still looking at it like it is a vaccuum and every conference is
VTCALS72 • 06/29/24 07:59 AM ET
I'm not sure how it's lost on you, or anyone else on here-
Baltimore_Hokie • 07/01/24 10:05 AM ET
"Did not have to add" is your opinion, mine is that the addition of those 2
VTCALS72 • 07/01/24 11:50 AM ET
I think you're missing or misinterpreting a lot of my points-
Baltimore_Hokie • 07/01/24 04:17 PM ET
As you have been......
2hhoop3 • 06/27/24 04:11 PM ET
The ACC didn't NEED to add programs.
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/27/24 04:36 PM ET
You're entitled to your opinion.......
2hhoop3 • 06/27/24 04:51 PM ET
I'm not convinced that the conferences are told who to add,
Big12 guy • 06/27/24 01:59 PM ET
You can think as you wish.......
2hhoop3 • 06/27/24 02:09 PM ET
What about your contention that the B12 just does the bidding of
Big12 guy • 06/27/24 02:17 PM ET
The reality.......
2hhoop3 • 06/27/24 02:26 PM ET
"got propped up" By who, and why? Why wouldn't
Big12 guy • 06/27/24 02:30 PM ET
Call it whatever......
2hhoop3 • 06/27/24 02:47 PM ET
Pretty Naive here, because that is exactly what happened. The b12 got
Big12 guy • 06/27/24 02:58 PM ET
You should probably review.......
2hhoop3 • 06/27/24 03:08 PM ET
I know the timeline perfectly. Even after USCLA announced, the PAC
Big12 guy • 06/27/24 03:22 PM ET
Since you know......
2hhoop3 • 06/27/24 03:38 PM ET
Those are great question, but still do not address who the
Big12 guy • 06/27/24 03:57 PM ET
I told you but,.....
2hhoop3 • 06/27/24 04:47 PM ET
If you want to start another thread about timelines, I have no doubt
Big12 guy • 06/27/24 04:54 PM ET
Just Read What 2hhoop3 Said
WarHog38 • 06/28/24 02:01 AM ET
There are parts of me that suspect that the demise of the PAC was baked in,
Big12 guy • 06/28/24 07:31 AM ET
I think......
2hhoop3 • 06/27/24 05:12 PM ET
Anyone on this board with the ability to use Google and utilize critical-
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/28/24 11:29 AM ET
I don't have to......
2hhoop3 • 06/28/24 12:18 PM ET
Can you point out my "obvious errors?"
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/28/24 12:38 PM ET
The two most......
2hhoop3 • 06/28/24 01:21 PM ET
I really do appreciate the back and forth-
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/28/24 03:46 PM ET
I would suggest.......
2hhoop3 • 06/28/24 03:56 PM ET
That's not what you said, and even if it was-
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/28/24 04:01 PM ET
I know......
2hhoop3 • 06/28/24 04:14 PM ET
OK.
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/28/24 04:16 PM ET
Plausible deniability? Perfect. Keep on telling me, it's
Big12 guy • 06/27/24 05:24 PM ET
Maybe that is the marching orders from the Presidents to whom they report ◄
VictoryTurkey • 06/27/24 11:02 AM ET
That's not a realistic take, at all. Any ACC member that wants to be in-
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/27/24 11:13 AM ET
I have enough proof at this point to say Phillips has been not good
HokieAl • 06/27/24 08:30 AM ET
I think you would be better to point to UNC rather than the ACC
VTCALS72 • 06/27/24 12:59 PM ET
This is an interesting perspective
dayooper • 06/27/24 08:22 AM ET
Nice to see that there is now a website: venu.com
WBGV • 06/27/24 12:40 PM ET
Interesting........
2hhoop3 • 06/27/24 10:25 AM ET
sounds like a nice legal question
daveinop • 06/27/24 10:11 AM ET
Did things just.........
2hhoop3 • 06/27/24 10:42 AM ET
It would be a reason for the media crooks to stay out of the realignment
33laszlo99 • 06/27/24 02:01 PM ET
ACC is Definitely Fighting Tooth & Nail For Survival in Those Courts
WarHog38 • 06/26/24 07:26 PM ET
Next comes Diversity and Inclusion **
VPI 1924 • 06/26/24 06:30 PM ET
Diversity is why Clemson will not go to the SEC...
mjfhokie • 06/26/24 08:56 PM ET
SEC isn't big enough for two Death Valleys either**
LonghornHokie • 06/27/24 04:02 AM ET
Been Trying That For Over 150 Years**
