You are talking about something that may or may not happen

11 years from now. ESPN will go to where they can make the most profit, and those rights will be bid on by other entities. ESPN is not in the business of building conferences in the NCAA. They are in the business of making money. If they wanted more basketball content, they could have out bid those that have the Big East rights. In addition, basketball is worth 25% AT BEST of football. Also, the SEC has the money to "build" their own basketball conference. The future of the playoff era of FBS, is in football, not basketball. I'm also perplexed on how VT fans would even want to be in a basketball conference. You guys are a football school, through and through.

ESPN extended ACC agreement to 2036, wouldn’t do that to kill Conference.

Have you ever stopped to consider that ESPN doesn't HAVE to continue-

Well, you are right, ESPN/big media does not have to renew anybody

Apologize 4 not being clearer, you're misunderstanding some I'm saying.

It’s 11 years away, it’s inconsequential right now. There are bigger 🐟 to

You know they don't want to lose schools to Fox/B1X
EDGEMAN • 03/04/25 04:21 PM ET
SEC & B1G are meeting alone constantly, their cooperating to make more 💵
Stech • 03/04/25 06:00 PM ET
That is a major point
VTCALS72 • 03/04/25 04:10 PM ET
Maybe we just keep adding $ to FSU and Clemson until they stay forever?

They are SOL if the lawsuit doesn’t go their way
Red Hokie • 03/04/25 08:58 PM ET
You’re right. The ACC has such a long history of smart decisions **

They're making money on the current ACC arrangement, but guessing there is

ACC would’ve fought in court if they’re getting nothing, long term security
Stech • 03/04/25 03:00 PM ET
There is really nothing,......

You might be right, I may be giving Jim “Dame” Phillips too much credit.**
Stech • 03/04/25 05:55 PM ET
I did not say or believe......
2hhoop3 • 03/04/25 06:36 PM ET
Honestly I have plenty of doubt when you talk about Phillips & Babcock,
