SMU now being mentioned
RonMexicoHokie • 08/08/23 05:11 PM ET
This proves that a lot of this is driven by markets....**
CyberHokie • 08/09/23 10:31 AM ET
Can’t believe ACC is this desperate **
Millpoint • 08/08/23 09:17 PM ET
Purely trying to find ways to generate revenue and keep FSU / Clemson happy
LonghornHokie • 08/08/23 06:39 PM ET
Or assure they get torched without a discount if they leave. This might be
TDVick • 08/08/23 07:12 PM ET
No baseball team, screw that **
HokiesACC2004 • 08/08/23 06:26 PM ET
Hey, they could get UNT instead - easier drive to DFW
Marooned • 08/08/23 07:29 PM ET
A co-op with Dallas Baptist 😆.
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 06:38 PM ET
If the ACC takes SMU, Stanford, or Cal., It will be an admission of past
wwhokie1 • 08/08/23 06:24 PM ET
Remember back in 2003 when the ACC was going to become the best football
LonghornHokie • 08/08/23 06:38 PM ET
Well, FSU and Miami didn’t live up to their hype.**
corvt2000 • 08/08/23 07:23 PM ET
steps 4 and 5**

The DEEP POCKETS CONFERENCE
Sunsetunderground • 08/08/23 06:19 PM ET
SMU Hasn't Been Any Good Since the Death Penalty
WarHog38 • 08/08/23 05:47 PM ET
It took many years to recover
HOO86 • 08/08/23 06:13 PM ET
Always thought SMU got a raw deal.
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:54 PM ET
the SMU Football dead pony T-shirt was a classic**
daveinop • 08/08/23 06:36 PM ET
McMurphy is reporting this
HOO86 • 08/08/23 05:43 PM ET
It would be more than TCU objecting. At best, SMU is the 7th best TX school**
hokie_jayhawk • 08/08/23 10:23 PM ET
He's also predicting FSU, CU, Miami, UNC and Notre Dame leave the ACC
LonghornHokie • 08/08/23 06:47 PM ET
Might as well be the old metro conference
Vippie1 • 08/08/23 06:05 PM ET
Could do Memphis instead of Tulane
HOO86 • 08/08/23 06:16 PM ET
Would really like to see the Acc pick through
HokiePail • 08/08/23 05:51 PM ET
That's OK, as I would like to see the opposite, and I don't mean Tech. **
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 06:05 PM ET
I’ve got this feeling like we are turning into feeder leagues.
hokieZ71 • 08/08/23 06:15 PM ET
It does seem they are dividing things up. It will not be a P2 because
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 07:13 PM ET
At some point they’ll have to regulate the number of schools…
hokieZ71 • 08/08/23 07:20 PM ET
They need the 80% to sell their 20%. **
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 07:25 PM ET
I dropped the F-bomb in a Twitter feed about the BigXII the other day.
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 06:37 PM ET
Which B12 school do you represent B12 guy?**
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/08/23 06:14 PM ET
I'm a Jayhawk. **
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 07:14 PM ET
Legit fight song. Respect 👊.**
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 07:41 PM ET
I dig Kansas and I dig your presence on this board.
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/08/23 07:34 PM ET
Thanx, means a lot, as no one on this end understands what is at stake it
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 10:03 PM ET
Do you think the problem
Stech • 08/08/23 05:49 PM ET
Yes. But some of the choices the ACC would consider are still there.
HOO86 • 08/08/23 06:43 PM ET
I think the ACC leadership is betting college athletics will be drastically
HboroughHokie • 08/08/23 05:58 PM ET
Small potatoes 🥔. But I don't hate it.**
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:45 PM ET
The ACC is so reactive. They should have gone after ASU and UA
goldendomer • 08/08/23 06:47 PM ET
I wanted the ACC to go after 7 schools in 7 different NEW states after USC
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 07:05 PM ET
Remember that the ACC Network is still interested in LOCAL subs (Premium $)
CobbCountyHokie • 08/08/23 05:35 PM ET
How much more revenue will getting the ACCN into Texas and Cali generate?
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:41 PM ET
The SECN is $1.05 more for in-market customers…
BROman Hokie • 08/08/23 05:53 PM ET
It's hard to find data on cable subs per state. I saw a random
33laszlo99 • 08/08/23 07:39 PM ET
Yea, and it looks like Texas has 5M or so…
BROman Hokie • 08/08/23 08:08 PM ET
There will eventually be much better options
Vippie1 • 08/08/23 06:10 PM ET
ACC will die before the B12. ACC is highly unstable.**
xx97 • 08/08/23 06:52 PM ET
If we factor in the extra travel costs, and we are still making money...
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:56 PM ET
I think you can look back on my postings and see where I advocated..
CobbCountyHokie • 08/08/23 05:45 PM ET
Did the ACC even try?
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:47 PM ET
I guess the question that needs to be asked is:
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:34 PM ET
Does FSU care about the rest of the conference? Been through
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 05:36 PM ET
I'm about to that point with FSU
HOO86 • 08/08/23 07:27 PM ET
I would rather have UTSA. Seriously.**
Truthahn • 08/08/23 05:32 PM ET
Wow. IMHO, this suggests that at least two and possibly several more ACC
VTBoar • 08/08/23 05:30 PM ET
If two are leaving, why add? Just have each member keep a bigger share of
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:36 PM ET
Just a thought on CFP
mgurley • 08/08/23 07:50 PM ET
The way the CFP-4 and the CFP-12 stand now, I think you are correct. But
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 08:05 PM ET
100% agree.**
Old Line Hokie • 08/08/23 07:37 PM ET
It might also signal that the AC survives. **
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 05:33 PM ET
Maybe so. But my gut feeling says no. As a kid, and then a Tech student,
VTBoar • 08/08/23 05:40 PM ET
So, they would not be having these talks with these schools without ESPN
Big12 guy • 08/08/23 05:48 PM ET
OK. Good point(s). Thanks!** ◄
VTBoar • 08/08/23 06:01 PM ET
I feel like the ACC was on shaky ground from the start.
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 05:44 PM ET
Other than WVU & Rutgers, we have the Big East
HOO86 • 08/08/23 07:14 PM ET
We should have taken them all at once in my opinion.
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/23 07:30 PM ET
Rutgers would have been a better choice than BC. Maybe Cuse also. **
