Yes, and is why I think the ACC will be fine if they

only lose FSU and Clemson.

Why is all the talk about the Big12 taking ACC members…,
jjhokie2 • 06/18/24 04:56 PM ET
If we keep our two playoff slots, why jump to the other conference?
Truthahn • 06/20/24 11:43 AM ET
Most realignment talk is a product of either hope or fear. What do you
33laszlo99 • 06/19/24 08:15 AM ET
Yeah most B12 boosters pronouncement
Vippie1 • 06/19/24 09:59 AM ET
Why would they? You can make a case for WVU, UCF
VTCALS72 • 06/19/24 05:22 PM ET
SMU, Cal, Stanford don't make sense for regionality**
HouClone • 06/19/24 05:49 PM ET
Neither do Az, AZ ST, Col and Utah
VTCALS72 • 06/19/24 07:14 PM ET
Yeah, maybe. They will still run into the same issues the Pac had before.
HouClone • 06/20/24 03:05 PM ET
That is why the PAC will come back
VTCALS72 • 06/20/24 08:44 PM ET
Ya, for VT fans, that would be the play. The business people might look at
Big12 guy • 06/19/24 10:03 AM ET
I don't think anyone outside of either P2 Conference knows who they want...
EDGEMAN • 06/19/24 08:26 AM ET
Because the talk is coming from Big 12 people**
wwhokie1 • 06/19/24 12:13 AM ET
I have not seen a lot of chatter about Big 12 raiding ACC**
ombandit • 06/18/24 06:18 PM ET
Not raiding, no, but picking up teams from the aftermath, yes.
Truthahn • 06/19/24 12:50 PM ET
We have a network. They don't.
Maroon Baboon • 06/18/24 05:14 PM ET
Maybe the ACCN makes a PAC/ACC merger possible?
Truthahn • 06/20/24 10:07 AM ET
I think that is going to be huge going forward.
VTCALS72 • 06/19/24 06:53 AM ET
Minus FSU, Clemson and UNC it’s definitely not
Millpoint • 06/18/24 05:07 PM ET
That's widely believed, but
obguthr • 06/19/24 07:09 AM ET
Documented the B12 gave the ACC their GOR, if it’s null, it’s null for both
Stech • 06/18/24 09:41 PM ET
The P2 has zero targets in the B12.**
neworleanshoo • 06/19/24 10:07 AM ET
Probably right not many, but if basketball expands 🏀 tourney and pays
Stech • 06/19/24 10:48 AM ET
If that's the case, I can see WVU and UCF moving to the ACC IOT...
EDGEMAN • 06/19/24 07:15 AM ET
That would have worked just 3 years ago, but the ACC did not
Big12 guy • 06/19/24 08:11 AM ET
You hit this one out of the ball park
DMV Gobbler • 06/19/24 07:07 AM ET
Hate to tell you but........
2hhoop3 • 06/19/24 12:40 PM ET
I don't think you hated to tell him that... :)**
NokieHokie • 06/19/24 01:40 PM ET
I really did.....

Maybe we should call him "MerQury" haha!**
NokieHokie • 06/19/24 02:34 PM ET
This is why FSU & Clemson could be doing an SMU, no money but fight GOR.
Stech • 06/19/24 09:31 AM ET
I think it was the ACC that copied it, but that doesn't matter,
Big12 guy • 06/19/24 07:24 AM ET
Guarantee there are B12 schools who want into the P2.
EDGEMAN • 06/19/24 08:29 AM ET
No doubt. No school would not take a P2 invite. **
Big12 guy • 06/19/24 08:46 AM ET
I don't agree. The remaining 14 are as strong as the B12 teams
VTCALS72 • 06/18/24 07:03 PM ET
Me, too. Also, the ACCN and the ND deal give the ACC the edge.
Truthahn • 06/20/24 10:38 AM ET
I hadn't gotten around to thinking about the scheduling angle but, you are
VTCALS72 • 06/20/24 11:55 AM ET
Big12 also lost their top 3 programs in recent years.
LonghornHokie • 06/18/24 06:26 PM ET
While the departure of those three.....
2hhoop3 • 06/18/24 05:49 PM ET
True… and Utah, Colorado, Arizona and ASU gives them more gravitas.**
Hotus • 06/18/24 05:42 PM ET
I agree with your first point, but .......
mjfhokie • 06/18/24 05:17 PM ET
Big 12 teams are only breaking the GOR to go to the Big 10 or SEC. **
HouClone • 06/18/24 06:09 PM ET
Same for ACC teams**
VTCALS72 • 06/18/24 07:04 PM ET
I also don't think SEC, B1G, FOX and ESPN want to see TV Contracts & GORs
Maroon Baboon • 06/18/24 05:33 PM ET
Exactly, breaks the media deals all apart
DMV Gobbler • 06/19/24 10:20 AM ET
ACC has passed up B12 teams multiple times
HokieAl • 06/18/24 05:02 PM ET
Your first point is just passed over by many, and I don't think many
Big12 guy • 06/18/24 06:31 PM ET
Exactly nobody in the ACC or big 12 is fighting their GORs to
VTCALS72 • 06/18/24 07:07 PM ET
Yes, and is why I think the ACC will be fine if they ◄
Big12 guy • 06/18/24 07:36 PM ET
A good time for the Mag 7 and some B12 schools to skim the cream and form
IB4TECH • 06/18/24 07:30 PM ET
Except that 10 seconds later FSU would be *****ing to get out of the MAG7.
Truthahn • 06/20/24 10:16 AM ET
This is 100% the correct answer to the current crisis-
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/19/24 11:56 AM ET
That's what I've been thinking
obguthr • 06/19/24 07:23 AM ET
The mag7 can do their own thing if they want - that has nothing
Big12 guy • 06/18/24 07:42 PM ET
A conference with 7 members probably isn't enough members to generate
VTHokie2000 • 06/18/24 10:02 PM ET
Though a 10 team league is perfect
HouClone • 06/18/24 11:00 PM ET
While that may be true about perception, the weaknesses suddenly become
