The reason......

there was not a word about collusion was that Larry Scott had already put the PAC12 on an island, FOX and ESPN were content to carve up a property both had a minimal stake in, and with the help of the Big 12 only 4 of the 12 were originally left twisting in the wind.

The ACC’s new 17-team plan won’t last

You know what W. Axl Rose said?
MrBayAreaHokie • 11/10/23 07:15 PM ET
Without 8 leaving before June 30th, it's financial suicide, and even that
Stech • 11/09/23 08:52 PM ET
I think that’s what will happen
Millpoint • 11/10/23 08:03 AM ET
I see you are in the Board Rooms. hmmm**
Mercury • 11/10/23 08:52 AM ET
8 aren't leaving unless they have better options
Vienna_Hokie • 11/10/23 08:26 AM ET
The B1G took 4 and the B12 took 4, not a word about collusion, so what’s
Stech • 11/10/23 02:37 PM ET
Correction: B1G took 2, then B12 took 1, then B1G took 2, then B12 took 3.
tarheelblue • 11/11/23 06:06 PM ET
Yes they left at different times, but many meetings/conversations happened
Stech • 11/12/23 08:40 AM ET
No precedent? I'm pretty sure the Big East sued the ACC back in 2003,
tarheelblue • 11/12/23 02:27 PM ET
So your precedent is the few million dollars the Big East 🏈received, but

Schools leaving is not an illegal act. But schools and conferences and TV
tarheelblue • 11/12/23 02:53 PM ET
Why was it okay then for the ACC to destroy Big East football? Because it
Stech • 11/12/23 04:22 PM ET
The ACC paid millions of dollars to the Big East for doing it.
tarheelblue • 11/12/23 06:45 PM ET
Okay the SEC and or B1G pay millions too, it won’t be stopped by collusion.
Stech • 11/12/23 06:54 PM ET
They would need to pay billions.
tarheelblue • 11/12/23 07:10 PM ET
Well if you are the ACC attorney, I am sure that will be the 1st offer. 🤣
Stech • 11/12/23 07:19 PM ET
Difference in those is a couple subtle things and a glaring one
Vienna_Hokie • 11/10/23 03:53 PM ET
The reason...... ◄
2hhoop3 • 11/10/23 02:43 PM ET
That’s true, but it doesn’t have anything to do with collusion laws. Oregon
Stech • 11/10/23 02:53 PM ET
You have to understand.....
2hhoop3 • 11/10/23 03:04 PM ET
I’m sure some might argue that, I’m not buying yet it will fly. That said,
Stech • 11/10/23 04:59 PM ET
I agree....

In addition, the PAC12 went down in pieces. It was obvious there was

Does any Clemson person really care that they don't have GT or NCSU
Pylons • 11/09/23 12:48 PM ET
These rivals are the CHOICE of those schools
Mercury • 11/10/23 08:56 AM ET
Plus, Clemson and those rivals agreed to the new schedule.
Old Line Hokie • 11/09/23 07:20 PM ET
Yes. me.
ren_hoek • 11/09/23 01:49 PM ET
To me, taking Clemson and NC State away was like taking Miami-VT away.
Maroon Baboon • 11/09/23 03:20 PM ET
Hmm, maybe has something to do with why Clem was against expansion
Vienna_Hokie • 11/10/23 04:04 PM ET
simply NC State chose to sustain the Carolina schools over Clemson
Mercury • 11/10/23 08:57 AM ET
The answer is a big expansion and a return to divisions
ren_hoek • 11/10/23 07:35 AM ET
Yawn...more of the same and still no solution for the GOR
Vienna_Hokie • 11/09/23 11:58 AM ET
Find a 120 million and leave **
VaTechHokiesACC • 11/09/23 12:56 AM ET
That's just the penalty money, the GOR money would dwarf that unless the

This writer doesn't understand conference realignment.
Maroon Baboon • 11/08/23 10:12 PM ET
Have a solution for point #4.
EDGEMAN • 11/09/23 07:49 AM ET
I like it. But I don't think ND would appreciate NOT playing Clemson or FSU
Maroon Baboon • 11/09/23 11:04 AM ET
SEC getting aggressive with future realignment targets = ACC
WBGV • 11/08/23 03:39 PM ET
i don't think you know what pied piper means**
daveinop • 11/10/23 07:10 PM ET
It has multiple meanings as most medieval folklores do.
WBGV • 11/10/23 08:45 PM ET
So the bottom line

Change is coming to the College Football Playoff
