It won't hurt. Nothing is guaranteed though. Still less than 50% IMO

How many think 75M + *20M VT gift & Franklin/Recruiting gives VT a P2 seat
Stech • 06/06/26 07:19 PM ET
KU got a $300M gift this yr. Does it make them much more likely?**

The P2 will not expand unless their TV partners tell them to do so
CobbCountyHokie • 06/08/26 01:06 PM ET
Let's worry about winning the games that are on VT's schedule now first.
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/08/26 11:32 AM ET
The money is just a tool to be used. Now we need to use it smartly
HokieAl • 06/08/26 11:04 AM ET
With the ACC going to unbalanced payouts
Marooned • 06/07/26 10:54 PM ET
P2 is/will be going to unbalanced payouts as well. That's why I am in less
Maroon Baboon • 06/08/26 10:39 AM ET
Agreed. VT should only be concerned about the things
Marooned • 06/08/26 12:29 PM ET
As long as the P2 has the competitive advantage (money),
Big12 guy • 06/08/26 12:13 PM ET
I definitely believe the P2 will follow the ACC's lead on payouts
EDGEMAN • 06/08/26 11:47 AM ET
IMHO, the next 4-5 years will determine the changes....
Old Line Hokie • 06/07/26 04:59 PM ET
Those things alone? No.

If it stays like it is, there will be few if any additions to the B1G or

Just think, Indiana was one of the "weak links" just three years ago.
Maroon Baboon • 06/07/26 04:06 PM ET
True, but that hasn’t stopped the picking
Marooned • 06/07/26 10:59 PM ET
I'm less certain there will ever really be a P2 then I was previously
Vippie1 • 06/07/26 10:09 AM ET
"... ever really be a P2." Vippie, the P2 is old news. Pehaps you mean

You may be right. But I wish this congressional action would have taken

I think some streamers take the product global. I agree that Sankey will
33laszlo99 • 06/07/26 08:09 PM ET
I've always said that the B1G might be too big to fail. But the SEC isn't.
Maroon Baboon • 06/08/26 10:49 AM ET
I agree 100%. Sankey doesn't want it, but ESPN does.**

If they don't share money with G6s, then what happens to their non-revenue
VTHokie2000 • 06/08/26 10:34 AM ET
I'll back off the G6 sharing part but I do think the P4 will figure it out
Vippie1 • 06/08/26 07:04 AM ET
Please expand your field of view. You seem to see this as simply an issue

Can't see expansion without relegation. **
manassashoo • 06/07/26 09:56 AM ET
Will the American public buy into watching "minor league sports" though?
VTHokie2000 • 06/08/26 10:22 AM ET
What makes EFL relegation work is that there is a chance to be promoted
Maroon Baboon • 06/08/26 10:56 AM ET
Yes, teams in the Championship do have a shot to get promoted to EPL at
VTHokie2000 • 06/08/26 03:10 PM ET
You can't really compare the leagues beneath the PL to the MLB minors or
Maroon Baboon • 06/08/26 03:30 PM ET
But that's my point about it being engrained in the American culture.

Franklin needs to win and he likely will. The money is secondary because

I'm still hung up on how it makes financial sense for either P2 conference.

It doesn't make sense. The SEC and Big 10 are already way too big, with-
