I didn't make any claim about the ACC or B12 being better

I just don't think the gulf is as big as implied (the B12 being "minor" in comparison) Moving the goalposts is about the first post referencing strength of all sports programs...where I don't think there's really that much of a difference. I think if the conferences played each other in everything, you'd see 2 pretty evenly matched leagues. Then the criteria became who the P2 might want...which is a fairly different measure. Now it's revenue. Or state population. Or TV networks. But, again, my point was not to say the B12 was better.

Looking more and more like there will eventually be 3 Power conferences....

The B12 is in a terrible spot. They are gloating now but all they did was
ColumbusHokie • 08/04/23 01:44 PM ET
B12 did very well, IMO
Truthahn • 08/04/23 02:25 PM ET
"Minor" compared to the ACC?
Pylons • 08/04/23 02:22 PM ET
The ACC has multiple schools that fit in the B10 and SEC. B12 has 0.0**
ColumbusHokie • 08/04/23 02:45 PM ET
Ummm, KU kinda fits - don't be so sure of all that. **
Big12 guy • 08/04/23 04:52 PM ET
Ok. Where do you want the goalposts next?**
Pylons • 08/04/23 03:04 PM ET
I don’t understand. I gave you an example of how the ACC is better. Maybe

It's a false choice anyway. This is not a B12 ACC thing.
Big12 guy • 08/04/23 04:53 PM ET
Right. Hope is eternal. **
Big12 guy • 08/04/23 01:52 PM ET
B12 is better situated geographically i guess**
MrBayAreaHokie • 08/04/23 01:35 PM ET
Betcha the Big12 is gagging on the G5 teams they picked up about now 😂**
drb • 08/04/23 01:27 PM ET
Nope. They are all good programs, UCF will be a blue blood one of these
Big12 guy • 08/04/23 01:47 PM ET
The Big 12 has.....
2hhoop3 • 08/04/23 02:46 PM ET
It has nothing to do with UCF being in the B12. They are the new kid on
Big12 guy • 08/04/23 04:56 PM ET
That doesn't answer.......
2hhoop3 • 08/04/23 05:32 PM ET
Hmmm, maybe you should take me with a grain of salt. BTW,
Big12 guy • 08/04/23 06:30 PM ET
You failed as usual**
2hhoop3 • 08/04/23 06:43 PM ET
Homerism alert**
HokieObsession • 08/04/23 02:25 PM ET
They had no choice at the time. It was either add those teams or die.**
tarheelblue • 08/04/23 01:36 PM ET
Exactly. We should have killed the B12 off back then.

"someone please stop taking calls from Western Kentucky"**
MrBayAreaHokie • 08/04/23 01:35 PM ET
The Big 12 is not in the same league as the other two. So only power two.
wwhokie1 • 08/04/23 01:25 PM ET
You are talking media dollars. The B12 will most definitely compete in the

The cost of doing business is going waaaay up. Soon we will be paying the

You just said Oregon will be a taint in the Big 10**
RVAHokie05 • 08/04/23 02:05 PM ET
That taint very nice of you
hoodat • 08/04/23 02:08 PM ET
Get rid of Clemson & FSU, and VT will dominate the ACC.**
Big12 guy • 08/04/23 02:17 PM ET
now your talking our language! lol**

If you lose the battle for media dollars, eventually you start losing the
wwhokie1 • 08/04/23 02:02 PM ET
To a point. TCU didn't make the championship game because of media dollars.
Big12 guy • 08/04/23 02:09 PM ET
Thats the Big12's greatest strength, that they have no desirable teams left**
tarheelblue • 08/04/23 01:34 PM ET
That's why they will eventually end up being the number three conference.
wwhokie1 • 08/04/23 01:42 PM ET
The payouts of the B12 and ACC is not the endgame. Staying relevant is. **
