Academics are a factor.

Especially with the ACC and Big Ten. Big Ten requires AAU according to 6 votes from what I understand. ACC has standards. But of course there is the need to satisfy the athletic need for football. I don't see it as a mistake. I don't see it as what broke up the PAC12 either. There issue was isolation out west. The country's TV markets are East Coast for the main population.

Tony Petiti addresses realignment

This could all be just a head fake by Greg Sankey.
WBGV • 07/24/24 12:32 PM ET
Only one very insecure conference that is stoking this now
Vippie1 • 07/24/24 09:13 AM ET
Maybe, but this idea of a new conference is fraught with future
Big12 guy • 07/24/24 10:00 AM ET
I like the Big XII additions more than the ACC's, but at the same time,
reestuart • 07/24/24 11:42 AM ET
i agree that the ACC staying together for a few years is most likely
Vippie1 • 07/24/24 10:37 AM ET
What makes you think the Mag7 can dissolve the conference?
Sunsetunderground • 07/24/24 12:06 PM ET
i dont think anyone was interested in that option at that (or this) time
Vippie1 • 07/24/24 06:23 PM ET
A Tom Petty song was on the radio as I read the title...lol**
EDGEMAN • 07/24/24 08:12 AM ET
Which one? Tom Petty songs are pretty much the soundtrack to this board.
Truthahn • 07/24/24 11:55 AM ET
They are going nowhere. **
HokiesACC2004 • 07/24/24 06:57 AM ET
IMO, only taking one or two schools from an entire region is a mistake.
Maroon Baboon • 07/23/24 11:11 PM ET
I'm not against more for the ACC as you know.
HOO86 • 07/23/24 11:19 PM ET
At what point would the ACC need to add teams?
VTCALS72 • 07/24/24 06:59 AM ET
What major network or streamer wants to carry a small regional conference?
Femoyer Hokie • 07/24/24 10:18 AM ET
Turn that question just a bit and you have your answer
VTCALS72 • 07/24/24 12:22 PM ET
It could, but the 6 that need to leave will never leave of their own accord
VPI_1998 • 07/24/24 07:05 AM ET
Well my point was ones that leave to the P2

Is Jeopardy now an ACC sport?

HOO86 • 07/23/24 11:53 PM ET
The ACC has Louisville, not to mention UNC
Tailgate Guru • 07/24/24 08:31 AM ET
They added them because FSU & Clemson were threatening to go to B12, ironic
Stech • 07/24/24 08:57 AM ET
Guess that's why ND and Miami were invited to join the AAU
EDGEMAN • 07/24/24 06:16 AM ET
ND’s outlier that plays by its own rules right now, no one else can do that
Stech • 07/24/24 09:03 AM ET
I totally get them leaving for the B1G or SEC, but the B12 WADR is a 💵grab
Stech • 07/23/24 09:45 PM ET
I'm Supporting Jim Phillips at this point
HOO86 • 07/23/24 10:20 PM ET
100% agree. In my opinion, the best thing for VT and UVA is to stay in a
VPI_1998 • 07/24/24 06:59 AM ET
I think this is the answer. I've been telling some to be careful what you
Big12 guy • 07/24/24 07:46 AM ET
also FSU and clemson would need to sign another long term GOR
1947Sunbowl • 07/23/24 09:55 PM ET
Excellent point.**
Stech • 07/23/24 09:56 PM ET
I think he said the same thing last year before the B1G poached Ore & Wash
SMU Pony • 07/23/24 09:14 PM ET
At this point, I put my chips on No Change
PadrosWindup • 07/23/24 09:05 PM ET
It wouldn't surprise me, if this is possibly an eventual outcome, time
FLKEYSHOKIE • 07/23/24 10:21 PM ET
I kind of agree with this take.
VTCALS72 • 07/23/24 09:22 PM ET
Notre Dame subject to the ACC GOR also?
mjfhokie • 07/23/24 09:46 PM ET
Yes ND did contractually agree that it would only join the ACC for football
tarheelblue • 07/24/24 12:46 PM ET
Unwilling, mostly
TerryD • 07/24/24 07:45 AM ET
ND did sign up for it for everything other than football and hockey
HOO86 • 07/23/24 10:26 PM ET
If it’s just Clemson &FSU, just grab USF and UCONN. 🏀💵 is coming soon IMO
Stech • 07/24/24 08:48 AM ET
And FSU / CU to split the ACC's legal fees**
LonghornHokie • 07/23/24 09:07 PM ET
To universities who are distruptable**
