But that does not matter in "brands"

Way too many like your post think this is about winning, even winning championships. I would hold that to big media that is not a major concern. A bigger concern is that someone they have rejected suddenly wins one. Big media has been so clear, they want a limited number of brand names and for the winners to come from that group period. they don't want to promote or carry 126 teams or maybe even 46 teams, they want less and they have already identified them. IMHO there is nothing that can be done on the field by any team non identified team that will move their needle.

ACC 4 playoff Bid Possibility?

Any such grouping should break up the Carolina mafia. Send one south

Merger of ACC & B12 4 most schools would be smart, so it won't happen, EGOS

4 should be the expectation, provided FSU, Clemson, and others stick around**

I feel like FSU doesn't deserve being a "brand" based on recent past

Why should VT even field a football team, then?
Baltimore_Hokie 05/23/25 02:17 PM ET
Because there can be a lot of good football
VTCALS72 05/23/25 07:26 PM ET
They should play where they have an actual opportunity to compete.

yeah, 2 winning records in 7 years is pretty turrible.

This is why it was 100% stupid for the ACC to implement ratings-based-

Brand bonuses might work out OK for the ACC, IMO.

The only thing it helps is the same schools making all the money-

They are here now, and you see the media contract and the playoff revenue. **

If there is a third "P", no matter what you might call it,
Big12 guy 05/22/25 01:25 PM ET
I'd rather divide both the ACC and the B12 into four regional conferences
Truthahn 05/23/25 12:18 PM ET
I'd be OK with that, bit put it at 4 or 5 team pods
Big12 guy 05/23/25 01:20 PM ET
Is TCU really any more deserving than SMU?**
tarheelblue 05/22/25 04:55 PM ET
Probably not. **
