Lets just say the ACC did VT no favors in regards to scheduling.

But we definitely didn't help ourselves during the Fu years either...

Kudos to the NC judge, and to the father who filed.
saret • 05/17/24 09:39 AM ET
But that is kind of like the way our federal govt does business
VTCALS72 • 05/17/24 12:19 PM ET
Yes gov't does it that way, but it's the wrong way.**
Atlee Hokie • 05/17/24 02:15 PM ET
Your last part I totally disagree with.
saret • 05/17/24 02:09 PM ET
Oh I fully agree everybody should want and need to know
VTCALS72 • 05/18/24 07:43 AM ET
So, essentially, people want to be blissfully ignorant? Again, I disagree.
saret • 05/18/24 11:42 AM ET
Yep way too many people do want to be blissfully ignorant**
VTCALS72 • 05/18/24 12:51 PM ET
Well, I just don't believe that. Only the "cockroaches"
saret • 05/18/24 01:12 PM ET
Maybe it means the UNC lawyers, the same ones who made

You mean the same lawyers......

If there is talk of a "reconstructed ACC," hope they are talking to ESPN...
EDGEMAN • 05/17/24 05:15 AM ET
Reconstruced....????
DrHokie • 05/17/24 01:51 PM ET
I think the ACC should experiment on how to be more interesting
HokieAl • 05/17/24 11:44 AM ET
The villain narrative will be easy this year. LOL.
Truthahn • 05/17/24 12:23 PM ET
With the exception of the wild card play in game
Marooned • 05/17/24 12:15 PM ET
There is no reason that ESPN and The ACC couldn't draw up some contingency
33laszlo99 • 05/17/24 07:41 AM ET
What's in it for ESPN? ESPN only cares about its bottom line.**
saret • 05/17/24 09:57 AM ET
I think that is being done

As long as the conference has so many small private schools with poor...

Closing the gap with the P2 has long passed for any other conference
VTCALS72 • 05/17/24 08:27 AM ET
Having a good program is great, but if you're not bringing fans to bowl...

Amazon seems to be itching to get more sports content
HokieR • 05/17/24 07:02 AM ET
Don't you think VT, with the partnerships we already have with them
VTCALS72 • 05/17/24 11:59 AM ET
Not sure why folks think VT is best friends with Amazon.
Brewing_Hokie • 05/17/24 12:41 PM ET
I don't assume that.
HokieR • 05/17/24 12:21 PM ET
Is what you are calling "reactionary" actually realism?
VTCALS72 • 05/17/24 12:45 PM ET
Not at all. Forget the unrealistic dreamers part.
HokieR • 05/17/24 01:06 PM ET
That's a lot of speculative thinking. Being proactive and

WarHog38 • 05/17/24 02:16 AM ET
No, it does not put UNC and NCSU in the Big XII
VTCALS72 • 05/17/24 12:39 PM ET
The PAC is Now G5 and Will Not Publicly State the Value of that Media Deal
WarHog38 • 05/17/24 04:00 PM ET
You just nailed my point, the new PAC, the new ACC and the new Big 12
VTCALS72 • 05/17/24 05:48 PM ET
There will be a P3, but maybe not as it's currently configured. There are
