yep the P2 could still do their own thing but

those with an antitrust exemption could operate on much more favorable terms that it could make it a mistake. Anyway my greater point is that governmental involvement is just one of a number of unknown variables that make it truly impossible for any school like VT (in the middle) to know exactly what tact and strategy is best to take. Although I do think going "balls to the walls" for the interim period (as we are doing) is at this moment the best course to cover all flanks .

Agreed - particularly in the ACC

But for how long will those top teams want to remain in the ACC though?

Could Indiana still have "overachieved" without the Big Ten money though?
VTHokie2000 • 02/04/26 06:23 PM ET
You’re leaving out IU’s Mark Cuban money. Also, billionaire Ken Griffin
