that assumes that the real power leaves all of the ACC, B12 and PAC alone.

I don't believe they will. I think that after big media gets the 3-4 teams they want out of the ACC, they will set up their "minor league" If they want WVU in the ACC or Stanford/Cal/ AZ/AZ St/Utah/Colorado in the PAC or SMU in the B12, that is where they will go.

UCONN football comes with it. ACC DOES NOT NEED another horrible

The only schools that should favor ACC or Big 12 expansion
Tailgate Guru • 04/07/25 10:32 PM ET
I think your 2nd paragraph is kind of spot on
VTCALS72 • 04/10/25 05:35 PM ET
From a numbers standpoint, it’s hard to judge the sweet spot
Tailgate Guru • 04/10/25 10:41 PM ET
You just said that UCF was a growth stock
Marooned • 04/08/25 08:55 PM ET
I did not undercut anything
Tailgate Guru • 04/09/25 12:45 PM ET
Same place where VT to the SEC went**
RiverVT • 04/07/25 10:29 PM ET
This would signal how the ACC feels about their future
The_VT_Rock • 04/07/25 10:28 AM ET
Who doesn't know the ACC is going to lose a few teams?
VTCALS72 • 04/07/25 05:28 PM ET
The ACC is going to wind up a toilet, filled to the brim with left-behinds.**
Baltimore_Hokie • 04/08/25 09:17 AM ET
Agree if you call us left behinds
VTCALS72 • 04/08/25 11:24 AM ET
VT will not be in the ACC in 5-6 years.
Baltimore_Hokie • 04/08/25 11:48 AM ET
That is the heart of where you and I disagree
VTCALS72 • 04/08/25 04:40 PM ET
VT doesn't have to go to the SEC or Big 10.
Baltimore_Hokie • 04/09/25 10:07 AM ET
So you seem to think there is nothing between the current ACC and a league
VTCALS72 • 04/09/25 12:54 PM ET
You don't know that. The ACC may have stumbled into the
Big12 guy • 04/07/25 06:17 PM ET
I think you jut said the same thing I did
VTCALS72 • 04/07/25 09:08 PM ET
Uneven distributions......
2hhoop3 • 04/07/25 06:41 PM ET
I agree that we should be looking for the distribution
Big12 guy • 04/07/25 06:57 PM ET
Your last sentence is a.....
2hhoop3 • 04/07/25 07:01 PM ET
A long shot for sure, but something has to give IMO. **
Big12 guy • 04/07/25 07:03 PM ET
Your last paragraph is quite good. I'm not expecting full disclosure
saret • 04/07/25 06:46 PM ET
I am jaded and cynical.......
2hhoop3 • 04/07/25 06:49 PM ET
I came by my cynicism after years of people lying to me. How did you come
saret • 04/07/25 07:10 PM ET
Same way .......
2hhoop3 • 04/07/25 07:27 PM ET
That is the prudent way to be. You'll be more often correct than incorrect.**
NokieHokie • 04/07/25 06:52 PM ET
I agree it’d indicate where ACC is going, but if they expand 🏀 tournament
Stech • 04/07/25 12:42 PM ET
With uneven distributions, the top teams may want to expand. **
Big12 guy • 04/07/25 03:15 PM ET
Definitely going to be interesting to watch, I wish they would disclose it.
Stech • 04/07/25 05:27 PM ET
Maybe the old school thought of what value a school brings
Big12 guy • 04/07/25 05:53 PM ET
UConn to the ACC would be incredibly stupid, and would demonstrate-

Reality is that the ACC has already been designated as a little p conferenc

LOL @ "Dr. J"**
Baltimore_Hokie • 04/07/25 12:47 PM ET
How does ESPN feel about UConn to the ACC?
Maroon Baboon • 04/07/25 09:46 AM ET
Only way to save the ACC is with more $$, and they have no way to get it.
HokieNoVA • 04/07/25 06:13 AM ET
Schools that would instantly make more 💵, aren’t coming, winning gets 💵
Stech • 04/07/25 07:57 AM ET
Virginia Tech in the Big East was so much better than as an Independent, I
Stech • 04/06/25 11:30 PM ET
The only school that wants to be independent is ND. Even Almighty Texas
Maroon Baboon • 04/07/25 09:37 AM ET
Being an indie works, if you could charge $ for the VT Network(for example
MrBayAreaHokie • 04/07/25 10:23 AM ET
My point is that joining a better conference helps schools 2 recruit better
Stech • 04/07/25 10:22 AM ET
so many have no clue the life as an independent
1947Sunbowl • 04/07/25 08:27 AM ET
Also improved our recruiting when we joined th ACC, we beat Florida 4 Tyrod
Stech • 04/07/25 09:10 AM ET
The vast majority did not want Yukon in the ACC. It was just rumors.
wwhokie1 • 04/06/25 11:10 PM ET
If UCONN comes in then a football school needs to follow
MrFantastic! • 04/07/25 06:49 AM ET
Drop BC/Wake, then add Uconn/WVU. Works for me.**
HokieNoVA • 04/07/25 01:22 PM ET
UConn would be a great addition to the ACC
Flanker • 04/06/25 08:40 PM ET
It will be a sad day, if the ACC declines to the point that UConn is a
wwhokie1 • 04/07/25 06:19 PM ET
UConn is definitely one of the better options for expansion.
Flanker • 04/08/25 06:12 AM ET
And there in lies the problem of trying to hold on to something that
Big12 guy • 04/06/25 09:01 PM ET
that assumes that the real power leaves all of the ACC, B12 and PAC alone. ◄
VTCALS72 • 04/07/25 09:51 AM ET
I'm thinking that the P2/Networks will want more than 3-4 schools
Maroon Baboon • 04/07/25 03:01 PM ET
Unless any of those schools move the needle where existing
Big12 guy • 04/08/25 12:03 PM ET
Sounds like you are saying no BigXII school will ever go to P2.
Maroon Baboon • 04/08/25 03:03 PM ET
Kinda. The B12 was already picked over by the P2. From
Big12 guy • 04/08/25 03:32 PM ET
I hear you but my opinion remains that the P2 may be larger right now
VTCALS72 • 04/07/25 03:28 PM ET
Why? Because they can.
Maroon Baboon • 04/07/25 04:01 PM ET
wrong. uconn football is a joke and would mean a smaller TV $$ share for
ancient alien 2018 • 04/06/25 08:50 PM ET
The Men won the last two championships. Now here come the women.
HOO86 • 04/06/25 07:02 PM ET
Unfortunately expansion is based on who Notre Dame wants, Jim Dame Phillips
Stech • 04/07/25 09:19 AM ET
No clue who ND would want.
HOO86 • 04/07/25 04:29 PM ET
At this point.....
TerryD • 04/07/25 06:32 PM ET
Yes I would think ND approves of UCONN & maybe even USF, but I doubt FSU &
Stech • 04/07/25 05:31 PM ET
Part of me thinks look to the West
HOO86 • 04/07/25 06:15 PM ET
Would think to lessen travel for Cal & Stanford, San Diego State & Colo St
Stech • 04/07/25 08:10 PM ET
I like those choices also.
HOO86 • 04/07/25 08:28 PM ET
Sounds great until one of your four conference road football games is in
Maroon Baboon • 04/06/25 04:37 PM ET
The Big 12 was also making overtures to Gonzaga
Marooned • 04/06/25 10:03 PM ET
UConn has 3 ACC teams on their schedule this year. **
Big12 guy • 04/06/25 10:19 PM ET
That is one that could agree to reduced media share like Stanford and Cal
HOO86 • 04/06/25 06:58 PM ET
