Hopefully, we can visit this "brand" idea periodically.

FSU starts with Alabama, and also plays Florida, Miami and Clemson, and those again in 2026, plus ND. Hopefully, we can reevaluate their "brand" at that point.

Josh Pate's commentary on ACC-ESPN extension
Maroon Baboon • 02/01/25 02:20 PM ET
If the brand is # of eyeballs like he described it, I’m good with brand. VT
Stech • 02/01/25 09:24 PM ET
But if only 3 teams get the majority of ND visits, their numbers will be...
EDGEMAN • 02/03/25 01:43 PM ET
My question is if F$U is to be considered a brand as long as they are not
IB4TECH • 02/04/25 08:07 PM ET
*Pate said in the Podcast it’s based on ratings, VT needs strong OOC games
Stech • 02/04/25 08:28 PM ET
Unfortunately, I think you are right, not only for VT, but for the
Big12 guy • 02/04/25 10:09 PM ET
Ratings would be okay. That gives everyone a chance.**
IB4TECH • 02/04/25 08:31 PM ET
I hope we make it embarrassingly difficult for the ACC to NOT schedule VT
Marooned • 02/03/25 08:36 PM ET
If ND is going to play CU, UM and FSU in football every year, they should

Its the ACC doing this, ND merely agreed
TerryD • 02/04/25 09:01 AM ET
Glad you said that
1947Sunbowl • 02/04/25 12:25 PM ET
Understood. I don't think it's good for either party to be honest.**
Maroon Baboon • 02/04/25 10:28 AM ET
it definitely benefits the ACC when ND plays on the road against them.**
reestuart • 02/04/25 01:18 PM ET
So, from my perspective, this is not ND cherry picking their
Big12 guy • 02/04/25 07:38 AM ET
All know that SOS component for rankings will increase in value, 4 playoff
Stech • 02/04/25 11:42 AM ET
Definitely an advantage for them with ND’s TV ratings, we need 2 P4 games
Stech • 02/03/25 01:55 PM ET
I question if number three is accurate
SpeakToDamien • 02/01/25 07:01 PM ET
Agree. The article said they are "asking" for it.

Hold on to your wallet Vanderbilt and Northwestern.**
Maroon Baboon • 02/01/25 07:28 PM ET
they have private money, they are ok**
1947Sunbowl • 02/02/25 04:07 PM ET
I could easily see Georgia Tech being the Mag 7 plus 1 w/ ND not wanting to
Stech • 02/01/25 05:30 PM ET
yes, VT needs to be more agressive in the revenue generator and branding
1947Sunbowl • 02/02/25 04:06 PM ET
So GT and Miami to the BIG one day very possible?
MrFantastic! • 02/02/25 08:37 AM ET
I think GT & Miami fit the recent profile of B1G expansion candidates, VT
Stech • 02/02/25 01:40 PM ET
Best case scenario, but still plausible. B1G and SEC each take one VA and
Maroon Baboon • 02/02/25 01:13 PM ET
All plausible, I prefer Tech & UVA n the same Conference for Olympic sports
Stech • 02/03/25 08:38 AM ET
If the networks will pay for it, anything is possible. The P2 will not
Big12 guy • 02/02/25 02:25 PM ET
I see both as candidates for the B1G, GT was not included in the Mag 7, I

Like Josh but he whiffed on his predictions last summer
daveinop • 02/01/25 03:22 PM ET
Remember when the ACC went for that stupid 3-5-5 schedule and they stuck
Maroon Baboon • 02/01/25 05:19 PM ET
That should have told you that the powers that be see VT
VTCALS72 • 02/04/25 11:02 AM ET
Welp. IIRC, they gave Louisville to Miami.

Yep, he’s just as big of an engagement farmer as the rest of them**

UNC and others want to a private equity deal.
33laszlo99 • 02/02/25 01:24 PM ET
If it is like most are saying, why would the ACC make it cheaper for FSU
VTCALS72 • 02/04/25 07:51 AM ET
So still just.......
2hhoop3 • 02/02/25 01:38 PM ET
Why not? Do you still object to individual opinions?**
33laszlo99 • 02/02/25 01:42 PM ET
Just of trolls......
2hhoop3 • 02/02/25 01:47 PM ET
Guess he’s saying they are going to reduce the penalties to leave in 2031🤷**
Stech • 02/01/25 06:13 PM ET
Yes, that's obvious. Did you read my whole post?**
Pylons • 02/01/25 06:17 PM ET
Yes, but I was wondering where he got that from. That’s a big deal and as

What does the ACC get for making it easier for FSU etc to go somewhere else

Personally, I don't think the conference or ESPN

Yes. And a risk to ALL conferences.**

Nole logic. They also think that Cheerios are donut seeds.
Truthahn • 02/03/25 12:51 PM ET
Cheerios as donut seeds deserves a thumbs up. **
Big12 guy • 02/03/25 02:26 PM ET
And they don't eat them because they heard about the cereal killer.**
Truthahn • 02/04/25 01:05 PM ET
I see it as a danger for the B12. **
Big12 guy • 02/01/25 08:13 PM ET
I don't know of any "brand" that had a worse 2024 than FSU.**
Maroon Baboon • 02/01/25 05:05 PM ET
They still got pie broadcast slots, and people still watched their games.
