No, that isn't my opinion at all. You are right that NO ONE knows

the result of uneven distributions, except that we have a prime example of what can happen with Texas. They got everything they asked for, and still left the rest of the conference in the dust. I also am not here pumping the B12, and thinking that it is a better conference than the ACC. I'm trying to point out that the ACC is imploding from within. You have many VT posters that think the mag 7 should break away, and many that think they should drop schools. Then you talk about uneven distributions, and on top of that, how to get out of the GOR. With respect, that isn't the B12 trying to desstable the ACC. My moniker states that I am an outsider, but i assure you, I'm old school, and want the PAC and ACC to find a way to challenge the P2, not become part of it. I like the B12 conference as it stands - many here do not have the same opinion of their conference, and there will be schools surprised that they are on the outside looking in. Who in their right mind thought that Colorado would leave the PAC to join the B12 two years ago?

FSU no big loss but Clemson would be a big loss.**
BAMAHOKIE • 07/31/23 07:42 PM ET
No one is leaving the ACC unless 7 other teams have agreed to leave
Maroon Unit • 08/01/23 09:25 AM ET
Would they have to pay the GOR if 8 of them voted to dissolve it and/or...
CyberHokie • 08/01/23 10:37 AM ET
Voting to dissolve.....
2hhoop3 • 08/01/23 10:45 AM ET
When you say acceptable landing spots, you are referring to the P2.
Big12 guy • 08/01/23 10:54 AM ET
I think Louisville and Cuse......
2hhoop3 • 08/01/23 11:18 AM ET
Both would be huge **
HokiesACC2004 • 08/01/23 09:17 AM ET
Either would be huge
EDGEMAN • 08/01/23 09:24 AM ET
Both programs always seemed like an odd fit for the SEC, especially Clemson**
uvabasher • 08/01/23 09:04 AM ET
USCe and UF would agree with you**
Maroon Unit • 08/01/23 10:37 AM ET
Nothing happens to the ACC without ND bring first to leave. **
Gator Hokie • 08/01/23 09:00 AM ET
would ND prefer the status quo?
kingofcassell • 08/01/23 10:08 AM ET
I would think ND would want the ACC to stay
vtka93 • 08/01/23 10:47 AM ET
ND received $17.4 million from the ACC in 2021
TerryD • 08/01/23 11:32 AM ET
They would both be a big loss
OrlandoHokie • 08/01/23 12:02 AM ET
FSU would be a much bigger loss. **
reestuart • 07/31/23 11:04 PM ET
unless they can break the GOR, they would both be a big gain to the ACC.
wwhokie1 • 07/31/23 10:17 PM ET
If one school can open that door, then more will probably follow*****
vtka93 • 07/31/23 10:08 PM ET
FSU would be a huge loss. Everything would collapse from there**
hokiesrule98 • 07/31/23 10:06 PM ET
I cannot accept or fathom FSU will go all in now
goldendomer • 07/31/23 09:38 PM ET
Can't afford to now or they would have already bolted **
HokiesACC2004 • 08/01/23 09:18 AM ET

VTHokie2000 • 07/31/23 11:59 PM ET
Announcing they are leaving in 13 years is beyond stupid
Vienna_Hokie • 08/01/23 08:45 AM ET
The decision could serve as negotiation ploy, but it could also serve as
VTHokie2000 • 08/01/23 10:46 AM ET
Agree. Bad enough when you announce 3 years in advance**
DarylS • 08/01/23 09:51 AM ET
I think you nailed it, this is IMHO a message to ESPN more than anyone,
Stech • 08/01/23 07:22 AM ET
It not only would bring ESPN to the table, but it could also eventually

Only people who think logically and critically think this***
vtka93 • 07/31/23 09:44 PM ET
At this point, Pitt would be a major loss. **
Big12 guy • 07/31/23 09:23 PM ET
Major? Not really **
HokiesACC2004 • 08/01/23 09:18 AM ET
Here’s the thing with that line of thinking. (It’s all about risk)
hokieZ71 • 08/01/23 06:40 AM ET
it's why I picked them as an example. Add Louisville, Cuse, and
Big12 guy • 08/01/23 10:57 AM ET
You're assuming the Mag 7 is trying to destroy the ACC.
hokieZ71 • 08/01/23 11:31 AM ET
This (the ACC) has nothing to do with the B12. **
Big12 guy • 08/01/23 11:36 AM ET
Its a comparison. Comparisons exist on a different plane than causality.
hokieZ71 • 08/01/23 11:48 AM ET
Colorado was not a major loss to the PAC either. I used Pitt
Big12 guy • 08/01/23 02:40 PM ET
So the B12 loses Texas, Okla, Nebraska, Missouri & the ACC can’t lose Pitt?
Stech • 07/31/23 09:55 PM ET
Sure.
Big12 guy • 07/31/23 10:24 PM ET
Pitt it isn't leaving unless they have a ton of cash I don't know about **
HokiesACC2004 • 08/01/23 09:20 AM ET
For now, I agree, but if the 7 leave, ....**

The "Other 7" ACC schools aren't going to leave because...
Old Line Hokie • 07/31/23 11:25 PM ET
Had you said Clemson or FSU, I could follow, but Pitt struggles to sellout
Stech • 07/31/23 11:18 PM ET
One flaw in your thinking......
2hhoop3 • 07/31/23 11:01 PM ET
For now, that is true. What is happening now with FSU and others
Big12 guy • 08/01/23 08:58 AM ET
My reply was the flaw......
2hhoop3 • 08/01/23 10:18 AM ET
No, that isn't my opinion at all. You are right that NO ONE knows ◄
