Yeah. Say no.

Or at least ask them to throw us a freakin' bone here in exchange for more time.

Its my understanding that the original deadline for ESPN to extend the ACC
HokieNoVA • 03/15/24 11:55 AM ET
Why are we giving ESPN an extension on the decision?
Maroon Baboon • 03/15/24 07:14 PM ET
What I think not many want to admit is none of the PAC, ACC or B12 had any
VTCALS72 • 03/16/24 08:35 AM ET
Got to remember the P12 decided they didn't want to partner with any...

The media has picked their horses to ride, and the ACC isn't one of them**
tarheelblue • 03/16/24 12:01 PM ET
Yep, and we just as well face that and not blame the VT folks
VTCALS72 • 03/16/24 12:16 PM ET
It's four years extra. Original date was 2021.**

What does that get us that is positive?
VTCALS72 • 03/16/24 08:41 AM ET
A year of planning for starters. And a change of strategy wouldn't hurt.
Maroon Baboon • 03/16/24 09:59 AM ET
You act like any one actually had power. There was no rollover time after

Fair enough. But if this is the case, no one should be blaming FSU for
Maroon Baboon • 03/16/24 12:31 PM ET
Nor blame the ACC and schools from BC to Wake to fight to get as much out

I agree, he really didn't have much to deal with
DMV Gobbler • 03/15/24 05:16 PM ET
One of the best post I have seen on this subject.
VTCALS72 • 03/16/24 12:35 PM ET
There really isn't anything to hammer out.
tarheelblue • 03/15/24 11:37 AM ET
They could extend it tomorrow, but I'm thinking they haven't
Big12 guy • 03/15/24 11:44 AM ET
First off, I agree with you that College Football is better if this stops.

Big12 guy • 03/16/24 08:43 AM ET

DMV Gobbler • 03/16/24 08:01 AM ET
I don't think conference realignment will stop if ESPN extends the contract
Maroon Baboon • 03/15/24 04:54 PM ET
