I've seen that too.

I'm ok with that. We've often discussed here about having a team in Dallas/Ft Worth if we go to Texas. SMU is in Dallas and fits the academic quality the ACC looks for. I've also seen rumblings of Memphis. To me they're another Louisville, but they bridge the geographic gap between Texas and the rest of the ACC. It's another Metro Conference team.

To me it seems obvious the ESPN is going to improve the ACC deal.
ColumbusHokie • 07/13/22 07:24 AM ET
I'm starting to think the coast to coast thing will happen
Victor Tango • 07/13/22 09:19 AM ET
ESPN will put the ACC together with the PAC12 or the Big XII.
HOO86 • 07/13/22 10:36 PM ET
New commissioner will be Art Bell**
mancunian • 07/13/22 12:22 PM ET
I guess games will only air after midnight too.**
Victor Tango • 07/13/22 02:29 PM ET
Coast to coast conference? No thanks!
EDGEMAN • 07/13/22 09:08 AM ET
Agree. I think what is happening is the streaming services aren’t
Femoyer Hokie • 07/13/22 09:33 AM ET
Bring on football and BB games with P10 teams, but...
EDGEMAN • 07/13/22 09:59 AM ET
Non-revenue sports need to be regionalized. Create geographic divisions.**
tarheelblue • 07/13/22 10:25 AM ET
What happens if some of the geographic divisions only have 1-3 (maybe 4)
VTHokie2000 • 07/13/22 05:28 PM ET
Let them play an unequal number of conference games in non-revenue sports.
tarheelblue • 07/13/22 08:49 PM ET
But they are already flying across country now for sports like M/W lacrosse
VTHokie2000 • 07/14/22 12:09 AM ET
Interesting. I’m trying to read between the lines
HokieAl • 07/13/22 12:07 AM ET
And the link didn’t post. Adding it here (GOR link)
HokieAl • 07/13/22 12:08 AM ET
The link was actually there, it just doesn't show up sometimes for some
Nortazhokie • 07/13/22 08:14 AM ET
I just wonder how much it could be? It is odd that ESPN would add more
goldendomer • 07/12/22 11:20 PM ET
If ESPN doesnt do anything
Sunsetunderground • 07/13/22 07:03 AM ET
The only option I see is expansion somehow
HOO86 • 07/12/22 11:40 PM ET
I’m hearing Smu
MrFantastic! • 07/13/22 03:21 AM ET
I've seen that too. ◄
HOO86 • 07/13/22 08:39 AM ET
SMU, Oklahoma State, WVU, Cincinnati, Kansas
Victor Tango • 07/13/22 09:38 AM ET
It will move the $$ needle, down. Reduced shares for everyone!**
EDGEMAN • 07/13/22 10:00 AM ET
It won't be done unless ESPN guarantees more revenue per school. **
tarheelblue • 07/13/22 10:26 AM ET
So..., academics matter until they dont matter any more - like when your

Memphis is a "low rent" Louisville.**
EDGEMAN • 07/13/22 09:09 AM ET
I've been saying WVU and Cincinnati, even Temple
HOO86 • 07/13/22 10:30 AM ET
Temple? Nooooo
HokieAl • 07/13/22 11:24 AM ET
SMU will be a powerhouse with NIL. Good choice**
Sunsetunderground • 07/13/22 07:13 AM ET
SMU was just ahead of their time back in the '80s**
tarheelblue • 07/13/22 10:27 AM ET
I wish CBS would go after our home games
goldendomer • 07/13/22 12:27 AM ET
CBS and Fox have the best production standards.**
Femoyer Hokie • 07/13/22 08:29 AM ET
Don’t sleep on…
Stech • 07/13/22 12:20 AM ET
Yes. Hokies got on a roll in the ACC Tournament
HOO86 • 07/13/22 12:29 AM ET
Schools/conferences get hosed on the NCAA tournament
