Once again, there is nothing out there that makes the ACC better

the Big12 model of a bunch of schools all over the country with nothing to tie them together is not better. The 4 PAC schools that are going to the Big12 actually make sense, the 3 on the east coast do not (nor do they make sense for the ACC, they are 2 group of schools and WV who really doesn't fit anywhere (thus the reason it was in the Big12). The ACC is fine as it is right now despite the rumblings from FSU. The PAC schools didn't make the call before because even without USC and UCLA, it was at least on par with the B12. Colorado was no loss either, the call came because OR and WA got BIG invites and B12 is better than MWC. Until Clem, FSU, Miami and UNC have homes and leave (and figure out how to get out of the GOR) no ACC school has any reason to even consider the B12. ** Edited by Vienna_Hokie at 8/21/2023, 5:58:26 PM

B12 comes tomorrow and offers a spot. You’re the AD. Yes or No?**

Seriously?

haha no**
VT Pez4Life • 08/21/23 03:59 PM ET
No...the Big12 sucks (unless we have to join)**
Tuckahokie • 08/21/23 03:30 PM ET
No. ACC payouts should pass Big 12 in a few years...
Old Line Hokie • 08/21/23 03:29 PM ET
There is no point where ACC payouts will surpass the B12**

Shows PAC12 passing Big 12 next year.
HokieDelNorte • 08/21/23 06:42 PM ET
I said it was from before the PAC break up
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 06:49 PM ET
why??? I don't get this recent awe of the Big 12,
cvillehokie92 • 08/21/23 02:13 PM ET
Utah is a bottom feeder in all this as well, how you do on field
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 06:12 PM ET
Tomorrow~no. If ACC blows up and no invite from B10 or SEC, then yes
hokiesrule98 • 08/21/23 02:10 PM ET
The B12 would take VT in a heartbeat, and based on recent events, would
Big12 guy • 08/22/23 06:53 AM ET
Definitely no!**
hokie77 • 08/21/23 01:53 PM ET
No**
HokieJamie • 08/21/23 01:37 PM ET
More-- it historically going back to the SWC etc. has not been the most
Nelsonia Hokie • 08/21/23 01:37 PM ET
Correct, B12 was the TX/OU/NEB/aTm and who they wanted to own after the SWC
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 06:33 PM ET
No., **
Nelsonia Hokie • 08/21/23 01:30 PM ET
No......
2hhoop3 • 08/21/23 01:22 PM ET
if the top schools leave, the ACC leftovers can become a B12 clone
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 09:10 PM ET
No thanks, zero financial benefit right now.
wwhokie1 • 08/21/23 01:18 PM ET
What if you were Cuse or Pitt? Or even Duke? When the
Big12 guy • 08/21/23 01:34 PM ET
If I were Pitt, Cuse, or Duke, I would be very concerned. GOR prevents
wwhokie1 • 08/21/23 06:23 PM ET
why? assuming (which I don't) FSU/Clem/Miami/UNC leave
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 07:14 PM ET
If the ACC loses its top 4 to 6 teams, I seriously doubt they will be able
wwhokie1 • 08/21/23 10:29 PM ET
Set aside your opinion of the B12 for a moment, and focus
Big12 guy • 08/21/23 08:03 PM ET
If the GOR holds, and nothing says it won't, expansion is irrelevant
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 08:18 PM ET
The GOR is not forever, and the current situation is untenable.
Big12 guy • 08/21/23 08:27 PM ET
They were absolutely no brainers to not add, they add nothing, they cost
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 08:34 PM ET
With each day and year.......
2hhoop3 • 08/21/23 08:53 PM ET
Yes, the current model is not sustainable for anyone except the SEC
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 09:08 PM ET
Ill be the first to admit that I don't know the answer for the ACC, but
Big12 guy • 08/22/23 08:37 AM ET
If the goal is survival at any cost, then it should die
Vienna_Hokie • 08/22/23 09:52 AM ET
yes for 70 mil per yr**
Windows NT • 08/21/23 01:12 PM ET
Nope! Not interested in B12! **
hoodat • 08/21/23 12:51 PM ET
Neither was the PAC4. **
Big12 guy • 08/21/23 12:57 PM ET
They also didn't have 12+ years remaining on a GOR that pays very well**
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 02:45 PM ET
Fair, but the fact is, they never made the call. Remember, before the PAC
Big12 guy • 08/21/23 03:50 PM ET
Once again, there is nothing out there that makes the ACC better ◄
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 05:52 PM ET
Now, or when the top ACC teams leave? **
Big12 guy • 08/21/23 08:06 PM ET
both, if top teams leave, you see what that means and decide how to move
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 08:21 PM ET
I think WV and UCF are content. They should be in the ACC, but there
Big12 guy • 08/21/23 08:36 PM ET
No Thanks
Millpoint • 08/21/23 12:48 PM ET
You control nothing yet. Bunch of scrambled eggs needing bacon.**
MrFantastic! • 08/21/23 12:56 PM ET
Big 12 doesn't want or need ND**
Millpoint • 08/21/23 02:22 PM ET
All would take ND. BIG 12 took WVU. They take about anyone!**
MrFantastic! • 08/21/23 02:25 PM ET
Says the league that gobbled up Louisville, BC, Syracuse, etc?**
xx97 • 08/21/23 05:03 PM ET
That's ok
Millpoint • 08/21/23 02:30 PM ET
LOL.. why so huffy? Ames rivalry game got you nervous?**
MrFantastic! • 08/21/23 02:33 PM ET
Better to have a real rival in Ames
Millpoint • 08/21/23 04:09 PM ET
No thank you.**
