Sure, when Cincinnati was available, but the ACC didn't act.

So I think the opportunity for Ohio has passed unless Cincinnati becomes available again. Miami (OH) is the best MAC option, but they are would be way too far behind IMO.

Hypothetical - Who would be the ACCs 4th Pro-Rata?
Sunsetunderground • 05/15/25 02:21 PM ET
Utah**

Hard to believe any B12 is leaving until 2031, but announcements will be
Stech • 05/16/25 01:43 PM ET
Is the ACC getting a new contract in 2031? The B12 is. **
Big12 guy • 05/16/25 02:59 PM ET
The ACC will be losing teams by 2030. So the ACC will likely get a new deal
hokieZ71 • 05/17/25 06:01 PM ET
The ACC exit fees are significantly less in 2031, it wouldn’t surprise me
Stech • 05/16/25 03:03 PM ET
THAT would keep your conference whole. By not getting

What if ESPN/Fox don't renew the Big 12 in 2031?**
SMU Pony • 05/16/25 08:01 PM ET
Could happen I suppose, as I'm not the one writing the checks. Except
Big12 guy • 05/16/25 09:16 PM ET
Hmmmmm
SMU Pony • 05/16/25 09:32 PM ET
All of the schools, except for the richest, will have
Big12 guy • 05/17/25 08:29 AM ET
The most interesting thing I am curious to see is the impact the settlement
VTHokie2000 • 05/17/25 03:20 PM ET
I think ESPN has already agreed to renew with the ACC, that’s how the drop
Stech • 05/16/25 03:55 PM ET
Memphis, states going from non-ACCN markets to ACCN markets is optimal...
BROman Hokie • 05/16/25 11:54 AM ET
Aren’t Carriage Fees mainly based on Cable, that’s shrinking by the second?
Stech • 05/16/25 03:12 PM ET
I'd be asking ESPN if there are "carriage" fees for the ACCN
Big12 guy • 05/16/25 03:18 PM ET
Subscribers are paying them whether they use cable or streaming options
EDGEMAN • 05/17/25 09:39 AM ET
Subscribers are paying, that is accurate. Is ESPN obligated

I have a history with Toledo, and this is the first I've heard of
Big12 guy • 05/16/25 12:52 PM ET
An Ohio school would be on my radar and a good add for TV $ IMO...

Let’s grab San Diego State**
CrystalCoveHokie • 05/16/25 11:46 AM ET
If I were just going to take two, USF and SDST since we are national, but
Stech • 05/16/25 01:46 PM ET
not with its investmetn in football**
1947Sunbowl • 05/16/25 12:09 AM ET
I would not complain about South Florida, especially if we know FSU is out.
Truthahn • 05/15/25 03:34 PM ET
South Florida is a good choice.
HOO86 • 05/15/25 06:15 PM ET
I agree, n fact I would get them now, so it’s proactive instead of reactive
Stech • 05/15/25 06:27 PM ET
I agree. No need to wait.
HOO86 • 05/15/25 08:21 PM ET
If FSU is leaving, then it is very likely that Miami is leaving too.
VTHokie2000 • 05/15/25 05:12 PM ET
Looks like the old Big East. UConn and Temple should be added with USF. **
HouClone • 05/16/25 01:16 PM ET
I would be happy with UCONN, Temple, and USF
OrlandoHokie • 05/16/25 04:59 PM ET
UConn and Temple add no value to the ACC's football brand and that is a
VTHokie2000 • 05/16/25 05:03 PM ET
Temple has shown good football at times over the last decade or so.
HOO86 • 05/16/25 09:40 PM ET
Even if Temple is able to sustain success in football, will the national
VTHokie2000 • 05/16/25 10:43 PM ET
Coming out of a media market like Philadelphia yes.
HOO86 • 05/16/25 10:54 PM ET
There are 3 flaws with comparing Temple football to Clemson football.
VTHokie2000 • 05/17/25 03:09 PM ET
Exactly because the ACC is probably on borrowed time until it is demoted to
VTHokie2000 • 05/16/25 04:57 PM ET
Where they going?**
MrFantastic! • 05/16/25 06:01 AM ET
If I had to take a guess, then either the Big Ten or Big XII.**
VTHokie2000 • 05/16/25 04:57 PM ET
You guys can have FSU, we just got rid of Texas, and we like things now. **
Big12 guy • 05/16/25 06:05 PM ET
Enough Big XII schools may support the move if it meant creating
VTHokie2000 • 05/16/25 06:35 PM ET
Na, honestly, there are schools that make sense for the
Big12 guy • 05/16/25 07:46 PM ET
The P2 is going to have more power regardless whether the ACC stays in tact
VTHokie2000 • 05/16/25 10:46 PM ET
Probably but having two voting member conferences is better than one
HouClone • 05/21/25 02:45 PM ET
You are right, but it may still be borrowed time. It all depends on how
VTHokie2000 • 05/21/25 03:05 PM ET
B12?**
EDGEMAN • 05/16/25 08:47 AM ET
If FSU goes South Florida, large school, AAU school, new stadium plus Bucs
Stech • 05/15/25 04:14 PM ET
No one because there really isn't a G5 or DI-FCS team out there who would
VTHokie2000 • 05/15/25 02:53 PM ET
Exactly. If ACC added the teams mentioned here, the battle is lost.**
marcbvtgm • 05/16/25 02:55 PM ET
It would have to be a current G5, so who cares?**
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/15/25 02:30 PM ET
If VT could get another $10m a year in tv money wouldn't you ?**
Sunsetunderground • 05/15/25 05:09 PM ET
Not if it means playing in a third tier conference.
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/16/25 09:40 AM ET
Not to mention by the time 2030s come around, Cal, Stanford, and SMU
HouClone • 05/16/25 01:28 PM ET
Exactly. Frankly, there's no saving the ACC. The die has been cast.
