Question about the GOR.
Will StewartAdmin • 05/19/23 10:59 AM ET
The ACC has clung to their ACC Basketball past for way too long. Football
JKHokie-RunFor32 • 05/20/23 11:08 AM ET
My thoughts were that at the time the ACC liked the idea of 20 years, at
wwhokie1 • 05/20/23 12:28 AM ET
Negotiate it how, with ESPN holding the cards?
TerryD • 05/19/23 09:52 PM ET
What's worse...ACC GOR or VT's Nike contract? TIC**
MP4VT2004 • 05/19/23 08:54 PM ET
The critical element (that isn't public) is the language of the TV contract
daveinop • 05/19/23 05:15 PM ET
apologize, I see CMU and Tarheelblue have most of it covered.
daveinop • 05/19/23 05:19 PM ET
Blame the Turtle **
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/19/23 02:38 PM ET
Spear the turtle.**
jmanatVT • 05/19/23 03:08 PM ET
I disagree with the implied presumption
LeadingEdge • 05/19/23 01:07 PM ET
Even though the ACC is on par with the Big XII and Pac-12 in terms of the
VTHokie2000 • 05/19/23 03:44 PM ET
But there's no guarantee that the Pac-12 or Big 12 will get more money.
tarheelblue • 05/19/23 04:50 PM ET
It is also possible the the B10 is over paid, as the networks need to make
Big12 guy • 05/20/23 09:27 AM ET
It doesn't matter if there is no guarantee though because at least the
VTHokie2000 • 05/19/23 05:48 PM ET
I think it was designed to guarantee "stability"
CobbCountyHokie • 05/19/23 01:06 PM ET
I think part of it is/was just a mindset
RTFC • 05/19/23 12:43 PM ET
Because the ACC was over eager and overconfident
HokieAl • 05/19/23 12:33 PM ET
There was no choice. If the ACC was going to survive it needed a network
ColumbusHokie • 05/19/23 12:08 PM ET
Length of deal not necessarily the problem
CMU Hokie • 05/19/23 11:44 AM ET
At least periodic "look ins" would help.**
Atlee Hokie • 05/19/23 01:20 PM ET
The current ACC contract has 3 "look-ins". The first was apparently in 2021
tarheelblue • 05/19/23 04:44 PM ET
Thank you. Ok - so what happened at the 2021 look-in?**

Stech • 05/19/23 07:48 PM ET
Also focus on locking down Comcast.
HOO86 • 05/19/23 11:22 PM ET
All good points.**
Stech • 05/20/23 02:00 PM ET
Just unlucky on the timing 🤷‍♂️**
Stech • 05/19/23 07:49 PM ET
Better luck next time. 2026 is only 3 years away.**
tarheelblue • 05/19/23 08:11 PM ET
Timing for 2021.....
2hhoop3 • 05/19/23 11:44 PM ET
Thank you!!!!..........
2hhoop3 • 05/19/23 05:21 PM ET
Glad there are look ins.**
Atlee Hokie • 05/19/23 05:05 PM ET
Good info.**
RJHokie • 05/19/23 04:57 PM ET
Perhaps Maryland affected
Roanokie • 05/19/23 11:38 AM ET
Maryland leaving was a canary in the coalmine.
mancunian • 05/19/23 12:05 PM ET
You're right....
2hhoop3 • 05/19/23 01:56 PM ET
Maybe 20 years ago, the DC City Paper did a big story
mancunian • 05/19/23 02:25 PM ET
I read and remember.......
2hhoop3 • 05/19/23 05:47 PM ET
Length of contract will be the cause of the demise of the ACC.
manassashoo • 05/19/23 11:24 AM ET
Swofford was (as the Brits would say) so far out of his depth ...
Atlee Hokie • 05/19/23 01:18 PM ET
He sure did a good job keeping Raycom fed for as long as possible**
HokieAl • 05/19/23 01:38 PM ET
He had his son advising him what to do.**
Atlee Hokie • 05/19/23 01:42 PM ET
Good question and there are.......
2hhoop3 • 05/19/23 11:22 AM ET
ESPN was playing chess and Swofford was playing Chutes and Ladders.**
Lakeridgehokie • 05/19/23 11:15 AM ET
It must have been a combination of Swofford believing without the network
RoswellGAHokie • 05/19/23 11:13 AM ET
Swofford had no negotiating power imo.
Brewing_Hokie • 05/19/23 11:10 AM ET
The ACC was in a position of weakness and it was a desperation move.
tarheelblue • 05/19/23 12:58 PM ET
Truth.
RJHokie • 05/19/23 01:23 PM ET
Yup as I said Swofford had no negotiating power.
