We should keep calling it that, even when we get the eighth team.

Like the B10.

McMurphy list the schools (VT is named)**
goldendomer • 05/15/23 02:21 PM ET
IF, and I don't believe it's true, the SEC/BIG aims to gut the ACC...
Vienna_Hokie • 05/15/23 07:30 PM ET
SEC/B1G are not gutting The ACC. FSU is.
33laszlo99 • 05/15/23 10:36 PM ET
Yes. But as silently as they can.**
Femoyer Hokie • 05/16/23 06:35 AM ET
Your 4th paragraph is important.
mancunian • 05/15/23 09:39 PM ET
Interesting, why do you think that?
VTCALS72 • 05/16/23 12:57 PM ET
The craziest outcome is the most likely.
mancunian • 05/16/23 01:08 PM ET
True, they are pigs but pigs aren't taking 7 or 8 ACC members**
VTCALS72 • 05/16/23 01:20 PM ET
Bingo**
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 10:59 PM ET
SEC likes big brands, so maybe they would move to expel MO/Vandy.
33laszlo99 • 05/15/23 10:40 PM ET
So if FSU, Clemson, Miami and UNC go to SEC
Millpoint • 05/15/23 08:14 PM ET
To the new ACC? Obviously, the Big12 doesn't cut it**
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 10:59 PM ET
No where, cause they're not going to the SEC
Vienna_Hokie • 05/15/23 08:22 PM ET
Could be wrong but
Millpoint • 05/15/23 08:28 PM ET
The only way the B12's TV contract would go up is if F$U and Clemson joined
EDGEMAN • 05/15/23 06:56 PM ET
They don't need their contract to go up, they just need the leftovers
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 11:01 PM ET
yeah, no idea where this B12 stuff is coming from
Vienna_Hokie • 05/15/23 07:15 PM ET
That's OK - the new ACC will fit you fine. **
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 11:02 PM ET
They create fake news and conspiracies
Mercury • 05/15/23 07:47 PM ET
ACC is in a far and away better position than the PAC or Big12
Vienna_Hokie • 05/15/23 08:00 PM ET
The Big 12 is far more stable than the ACC
Tailgate Guru • 05/16/23 09:01 AM ET
Better off, with teams wanting to leave. The 12? Been there done that the
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 11:05 PM ET
You just lost your two premier schools.
EDGEMAN • 05/16/23 06:09 AM ET
We will be competitive in the playoffs - and if you look
Big12 guy • 05/16/23 11:39 AM ET
Outside of FSU I wonder if the others are just trying to be prepared.
Truthahn • 05/15/23 06:30 PM ET
LOL, exactly, talked to lawyers is common sense
Vienna_Hokie • 05/15/23 08:02 PM ET
This.**
jboyhokie • 05/15/23 07:18 PM ET
So who will the 8th team be?
Millpoint • 05/15/23 06:24 PM ET
Has to be ND**
HboroughHokie • 05/15/23 06:48 PM ET
Remembef nd does have a vote**
Mercury • 05/15/23 07:48 PM ET
Gotta be GT.
Truthahn • 05/15/23 06:31 PM ET
ND has the Big East for other sports. They will never be ACC, 12, or PAC**
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 11:07 PM ET
I meant that ND would be able to get into the B10 anytime.
Truthahn • 05/16/23 12:35 PM ET
I just don't see them going to the Big10 under any circumstance
Big12 guy • 05/16/23 12:40 PM ET
GT would make the most sensE
Millpoint • 05/15/23 06:39 PM ET
everyone hates Duke**
MrBayAreaHokie • 05/15/23 06:42 PM ET
Welcome to the club UVa.
Truthahn • 05/15/23 05:56 PM ET
remember UVA works quietly and boom
Mercury • 05/16/23 08:24 AM ET
Why on earth would 8 ACC members vote to dissolve the conference?
Vienna_Hokie • 05/15/23 08:17 PM ET
The BIG has LA. Drop the Mike**
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 11:08 PM ET
They would vote to do so only if they already had agreements
RJHokie • 05/15/23 08:21 PM ET
yep, which isn't going to happen**
Vienna_Hokie • 05/15/23 08:23 PM ET
Never say never.
RJHokie • 05/15/23 08:28 PM ET
This becoming public will speed up the dissolution of the conference.
hokieball • 05/15/23 05:28 PM ET
What has McMurphy.....
2hhoop3 • 05/15/23 06:11 PM ET
Well, it's new to me.**
hokieball • 05/15/23 07:48 PM ET
Magnificient 7 ;)
Old Line Hokie • 05/15/23 06:29 PM ET
We should keep calling it that, even when we get the eighth team. ◄
Truthahn • 05/15/23 06:34 PM ET
probably part of the plan**
MrBayAreaHokie • 05/15/23 05:31 PM ET
IMHO, the ONLY hope for the ACC longterm is
baumerj • 05/15/23 04:58 PM ET
Maybe a nationwide conference of the best of the ACC, BigXII and, Pac12.
Maroon Baboon • 05/15/23 05:06 PM ET
Nationwide conference is a no go for non rev. The travel will kill ya **
3TechFanz • 05/15/23 05:39 PM ET
Yup. It would have to be football only.
Maroon Baboon • 05/15/23 07:08 PM ET
I think it would be network only. Keep the conferences, and have a network
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 11:11 PM ET
If you think we're behind the P2 now, just wait until that happens...lol
EDGEMAN • 05/15/23 06:52 PM ET
Do y'all think all 7 of these have back pocket invites to the P2?
Maroon Baboon • 05/15/23 04:55 PM ET
Supposedly VT and NCSU have chatted with B12
HokieAl • 05/15/23 05:04 PM ET
This group as a breakaway would be fine.
Truthahn • 05/15/23 06:27 PM ET
Ummm - not to go to the 12, but not to be left in the ACC**
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 11:12 PM ET
Only an idiot would do this to go to the B12.**
EDGEMAN • 05/15/23 06:53 PM ET
Sooo, you have an SEC invite - really? **
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 11:13 PM ET
Hard to get mildly excited about Big XII. **
VT757to276 • 05/15/23 07:28 PM ET
I find it hard to believe...
hokieball • 05/15/23 05:34 PM ET
No**
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 11:13 PM ET
To me, the key is that the ACC will be stuck for 13 more years
HokieAl • 05/15/23 06:35 PM ET
Would love that scenario, which is why it probably won't happen.
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 05:32 PM ET
Say it ain't so. For all the capital we burned to get into the ACC, we're
Maroon Baboon • 05/15/23 05:28 PM ET
Right. Reading rumors about B12. Would be devastating
Colonel Jessup • 05/15/23 05:37 PM ET
Please tell me that won't be our new home! B1G or SEC, I'm there!**
hokie77 • 05/15/23 05:25 PM ET
Insert sound of eyes rolling to the back of my head.
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 05:34 PM ET
With all due respect, we'd probably make more $ middle of pack SEC.**
hokie77 • 05/15/23 05:38 PM ET
You can remove the "probably" from your statement.
hokieball • 05/15/23 05:48 PM ET
A lot more money - for more coaches, better facilities, and recruiting. I
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 08:02 PM ET
Somewhat encouraging for VT.**
IB4TECH • 05/15/23 04:43 PM ET
ND not one of the 7**
TerryD • 05/15/23 04:35 PM ET
Nope, we're just hanging out... Watching the chaos unfold.
goldendomer • 05/15/23 04:37 PM ET
I’m glad that we are on the side being proactive
HokieAl • 05/15/23 03:06 PM ET
If true. Dissolving and forming under a new flag
Colonel Jessup • 05/15/23 02:46 PM ET
A new ACC…
mancunian • 05/15/23 04:54 PM ET
That plan will get whipped by Grant
jmanatVT • 05/15/23 07:14 PM ET
You'd need a team in Vicksburg.
Truthahn • 05/15/23 05:50 PM ET
Well would the plan be to plant a new flag or a jailbreak
Vippie1 • 05/15/23 03:05 PM ET
People are assuming jailbreak but seems
Colonel Jessup • 05/15/23 03:18 PM ET
That would be taking a heck of a chance for those that didn't have an
501 • 05/15/23 03:17 PM ET
yeah i tend to agree
Vippie1 • 05/15/23 04:40 PM ET
You had your chance at WVA guys, that ship sailed. **
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 10:38 PM ET
Wouldn’t it be easier to do an internal hostile takeover?
HokieAl • 05/15/23 03:09 PM ET
ACC++**
jmanatVT • 05/15/23 03:03 PM ET
Is there any guarantee a new TV deal would be worth more?
obguthr • 05/15/23 02:58 PM ET
A new conf started with those teams would be great.
Truthahn • 05/15/23 06:22 PM ET
You leave the ACC, you lose your TV network.**
wwhokie1 • 05/15/23 11:27 PM ET
Not a chance in hell. **
Big12 guy • 05/15/23 10:40 PM ET
I'm surprised Loserville isn't included
obguthr • 05/15/23 02:36 PM ET
SEC doesn't need VILLE. BIG want have them.**
MrFantastic! • 05/15/23 02:37 PM ET
Big Ten doesn’t want Loserville.
RJHokie • 05/15/23 10:45 PM ET
Louisville would fit well in the Big XII**
hokieball • 05/15/23 02:53 PM ET
aka the Leftovers Conference
