I don't think the ACC "looks down" on the B12

Most ACC schools do not want to join the B12 because of the massively increase in travel expenses. In VT's case, instead of a relatively short bus ride for it's non-revenue sports, it will have to fly to almost every B12 school. WVU is probably the only one within bus travel distance. We also love our network, and know if we join the B12, that goes away, so the majority of our non-revenue sports, and a significant percentage of our revenue sports will no longer be broadcast on a cable channel.

What's the Big 12's infatuation with the possible demise of the ACC?
Old Line Hokie • 02/16/24 07:57 PM ET
It is in the best interests for the ACC and Big 12 to be viable.

ESPN owns the ACC Network, so there is no "going to bid in the open market"**
tarheelblue • 02/17/24 01:34 PM ET
I was asking what it would be worth in the open market. **
Big12 guy • 02/17/24 02:11 PM ET
And I'm saying that question is irrelevant.
