IMHO, that is why the ACC may not survive. UCF, Cincy, and

Houston come to mind.

ACC having 2 emergency calls with Presidents/Chancellors and ADs about
JKHokie-RunFor32 • 08/07/23 03:33 PM ET
Wish we could make some trades with other conferences
OrlandoHokie • 08/07/23 05:01 PM ET
Should add Tulane (#23 preseason) and West Va.**
charlesf • 08/07/23 05:01 PM ET
Wouldn't be opposed to that. Tulane is in a state that loves football.
HokiePail • 08/07/23 06:01 PM ET
Tulane doesn't bring extra $ and B12 schools have a GOR until 2030**
BROman Hokie • 08/07/23 05:59 PM ET
Tulane is not in the B12, and they would be a good addition
Big12 guy • 08/07/23 07:51 PM ET
Was talking about WVU re: B12, and I agree about Tulane…
BROman Hokie • 08/07/23 08:04 PM ET
Doom and Gloom? Could this move be to replace two schools that have
VTBoar • 08/07/23 04:52 PM ET
Is Berkeley even allowed to play in ACC states?
BowlingHokie • 08/07/23 04:47 PM ET
States Subject to AB 1887’s Travel Prohibition
WBGV • 08/07/23 05:58 PM ET
Bet that won't apply to UCLA going to Ohio Indiana or Iowa**
VTCALS72 • 08/07/23 06:12 PM ET
I think it only applies for states adopting massive book bans.**
BAMRising • 08/07/23 04:57 PM ET
Pros and Cons
Seikoh_04 • 08/07/23 04:42 PM ET
We will also reach out to Hawaii and Anchorage-Alaska Univ. Fingers crossed**
HoakieCup • 08/07/23 04:41 PM ET
Too little..,,,way too late**
Hokie12thman • 08/07/23 04:41 PM ET
Only if Stanford brings Notre Dame along, otherwise bad idea.
wwhokie1 • 08/07/23 04:40 PM ET
Seems like you'd have to also take OSU and WSU as part of this.
LonghornHokie • 08/07/23 04:48 PM ET
Have UA, ASU, and Utah signed anything yet? Take those three and WVU and
vatechcowpatty • 08/07/23 06:26 PM ET
Arizona stays, sorry. **
Big12 guy • 08/07/23 07:52 PM ET
Ok, so somehow you know the other 3 are headed to the ACC?**
vatechcowpatty • 08/07/23 08:01 PM ET
No, I'm saying you had a chance at Arizona, 2 chances at WVU, and they
Big12 guy • 08/07/23 08:45 PM ET
Agree, and San Diego State too.**
Stech • 08/07/23 05:03 PM ET
I was thinking Nevada or UNLV, but SD State works too.
HOO86 • 08/07/23 05:15 PM ET
This is an ESPN push in my opinion. They want/need presence on west coast.
Lakeridgehokie • 08/07/23 04:39 PM ET
ESPN had offered the PAC10 $100 million per year
HOO86 • 08/07/23 05:09 PM ET
Every Saturday night either Stanford or Cal will be hosting a football
Lakeridgehokie • 08/07/23 05:37 PM ET
Probably So.
HOO86 • 08/07/23 05:55 PM ET
I read any further expansion by ACC...
Old Line Hokie • 08/07/23 06:20 PM ET
If all of that is accurate, it's hard to believe they could get enough
wwhokie1 • 08/07/23 08:58 PM ET
That might make it tolerable, depending on how much money**
wwhokie1 • 08/07/23 04:42 PM ET
Live stream if interested **
VT Pops • 08/07/23 04:28 PM ET
Clemson fans think it is a great idea - not.
WBGV • 08/07/23 04:21 PM ET
I really hope this isn't serious! If that's the damn situation, why
hoodat • 08/07/23 04:02 PM ET
Maybe Oregon and Washington wanted nothing to do with the ACC.**
OrlandoHokie • 08/07/23 04:13 PM ET
They didn't. They knew B10 was at least 75-80% chance of happening.
LonghornHokie • 08/07/23 04:52 PM ET
But they're accepting a fraction of B1G revenue. **
neworleanshoo • 08/07/23 06:56 PM ET
Or maybe the cost for Cal/Stanford is now half or less
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/07/23 04:28 PM ET
Being proactive is not how the ACC rolls. **
RoswellGAHokie • 08/07/23 04:07 PM ET
The ACC must be a great conference because nobody wants us and we do not..
hokie4ever • 08/07/23 04:14 PM ET
We got the GOR! We can sit tight until 2036! No worries! **
RoswellGAHokie • 08/07/23 04:22 PM ET
No kidding! Incompetence at it's highest....maybe second highest after
hoodat • 08/07/23 04:09 PM ET
Stanford is 40, Cal 47 in this metric.**
Maroon Unit • 08/07/23 04:01 PM ET
If ESPN is willing to pay for it, then fine. Otherwise, it makes no sense.**
tarheelblue • 08/07/23 03:57 PM ET
👍👍👍👍👍**
Stech • 08/07/23 04:24 PM ET
Given that ESPN will lose California presence otherwise, they may
HOO86 • 08/07/23 04:02 PM ET
Would ESPN pay for Wazzu and Oregon State?**
Maroon Baboon • 08/07/23 04:00 PM ET
NO. **
tarheelblue • 08/07/23 04:01 PM ET
acc would have 4/6 top academic schools that play 1-A football fwiw
SpeakToDamien • 08/07/23 03:45 PM ET
No, they shouldn't care about that #1
Pylons • 08/07/23 03:54 PM ET
Presidents love that stuff. **
Big12 guy • 08/07/23 03:47 PM ET
Actually, they likely don't really care
Pylons • 08/07/23 03:56 PM ET
Speaking of Crow, as in Dr. Crow from ASU, there is an interview
Big12 guy • 08/07/23 04:09 PM ET
His comments about the Apple contract had zero to do with academics
Pylons • 08/07/23 04:33 PM ET
You missed the part where the AD said he wasn't going to Morgantown
Big12 guy • 08/07/23 04:35 PM ET
And those 2 things have what to do with presidents caring about
Pylons • 08/07/23 04:41 PM ET
There is no argument here, but if you think for one second
Big12 guy • 08/07/23 05:34 PM ET
lol. How is this so hard?
Pylons • 08/07/23 05:40 PM ET
TIA for the link. Would love to read/watch.**
Pylons • 08/07/23 04:13 PM ET
Link**
Big12 guy • 08/07/23 04:18 PM ET
Boy thats the power 5 IVY conference
Mercury • 08/07/23 03:47 PM ET
Hate to break it to you.......
2hhoop3 • 08/07/23 04:10 PM ET
Yeah, Cal is broke.**
neworleanshoo • 08/07/23 06:57 PM ET
Hundreds of people will be dying to see Cal-Syracuse and Stanford-UL!!!!**
Pylons • 08/07/23 03:58 PM ET
They probably want to call John Elway & Jason Kidd "Legends of the ACC"
HOO86 • 08/07/23 04:28 PM ET
Potentially locks Notre Dame into 7 (not 5) ACC games per year**
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/07/23 04:03 PM ET
Currently, Stanford is not on ND's schedule after 2026.**
TerryD • 08/07/23 04:49 PM ET
Does Notre Dame wish to discontinue the tradition of the Legends Trophy?
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/07/23 04:53 PM ET
I don't think ND has a preference one way or the other
TerryD • 08/07/23 04:57 PM ET
Why would anything be "locked in"?
Pylons • 08/07/23 04:12 PM ET
Notre Dame coming to two more ACC stadiums is a big deal. $$$
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/07/23 04:25 PM ET
How is ND playing at Stanford $$$ for the ACC?
Pylons • 08/07/23 04:38 PM ET
Stanford/Cal in ACC = home games on ABC/ESPN
mrcaniac • 08/07/23 05:10 PM ET
That's not necessarily more ND games in ACC stadiums
Pylons • 08/07/23 05:16 PM ET
That is what I expect to happen if Stanford joins
TerryD • 08/07/23 05:19 PM ET
If Stanford comes to the ACC and ND is in an ACC partnership…
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/07/23 04:45 PM ET
Appreciate you recognizing that. 😂**
Pylons • 08/07/23 04:47 PM ET
Would likely take Zona Zona St and Utah if it happens**
Vippie1 • 08/07/23 03:43 PM ET
Too late for that. I thought that we should take at least 7 schools from
Maroon Baboon • 08/07/23 03:48 PM ET
Stanford/Cal are the only 2 schools of any value that aren't locked up...
BROman Hokie • 08/07/23 04:01 PM ET
Late but Not too late**
Vippie1 • 08/07/23 04:00 PM ET
Wonder how the calls to FSU will go? 🤣
Maroon Baboon • 08/07/23 03:39 PM ET
It only takes 12 votes to add schools to the ACC, so FSU doesn't matter.**
tarheelblue • 08/07/23 03:58 PM ET
yup. FSU picked a bad time to throw a tantrum.**
daveinop • 08/07/23 04:10 PM ET
Stanford reportedly linked to the ACC**
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/07/23 03:37 PM ET
Appears to be a knee-jerk reaction.
EDGEMAN • 08/07/23 03:37 PM ET
BC and Cuse are 1,500 miles from Miami and FSU
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/07/23 04:17 PM ET
That's 1,000 mi closer and the rest of the conference is in between**
wwhokie1 • 08/07/23 04:37 PM ET
If the two schools were USC & UCLA then yes. Stanford & Cal then no, no, no
WBGV • 08/07/23 04:01 PM ET
Or ESPN is making it worthwhile for the ACC $$$ wise**
BROman Hokie • 08/07/23 03:43 PM ET
Would getting the ACCN into California pay for this?**
Maroon Baboon • 08/07/23 03:50 PM ET
Pitt vs. Cal on the ACCN at 10:30PM Eastern Time - don’t think so.**
WBGV • 08/07/23 04:43 PM ET
That wasn't the basis of my question. I'm talking about subscriptions. **
Maroon Baboon • 08/07/23 05:09 PM ET
All that matters is that it airs, it doesn't matter whether anyone watches**
BROman Hokie • 08/07/23 04:58 PM ET
my thoughts as well**
daveinop • 08/07/23 04:16 PM ET
Probably close to it, California has over 30 million cable/satellite subs**
BROman Hokie • 08/07/23 03:57 PM ET
Yeah the math actually might work for ESPN to want this to happen.**
tarheelblue • 08/07/23 03:59 PM ET
Does the B1G?**
JKHokie-RunFor32 • 08/07/23 03:40 PM ET
It's the right move, and the ACC should consider UConn, USF, and others as
Big12 guy • 08/07/23 03:39 PM ET
does uconn even play div I football?**
rmhokie • 08/07/23 07:12 PM ET
They would probably beat KU. **
Big12 guy • 08/07/23 08:46 PM ET
ACC already has 2 Florida schools. USF doesn't really add anything.**
tarheelblue • 08/07/23 04:00 PM ET
Can you hang on to FSU? Look out a few years. **
Big12 guy • 08/07/23 04:11 PM ET
If FSU leaves, then you think about adding USF. Not before.**
tarheelblue • 08/07/23 04:20 PM ET
IMHO, that is why the ACC may not survive. UCF, Cincy, and ◄
Big12 guy • 08/07/23 04:25 PM ET
Adding those 3 schools would have lowered the per team money in the ACC
tarheelblue • 08/07/23 04:31 PM ET
ESPN thought it was worth the addition, based on the contract
Big12 guy • 08/07/23 04:38 PM ET
