How did that work?.....

I am not familiar with that transaction by Penn State. What does something like that cost? How has that benefitted Penn State or the state of Pennsylvania?

Why FSU (and Clemson) was looking at the B10 (and not the SEC)
RandomAsianGuy • 12/15/24 02:02 PM ET
If a P2 League ever comes to fruition, then it may not matter what
VTHokie2000 • 12/17/24 03:57 PM ET
The Big 10 has been pretty consistent that they want AAU schools only
Sunsetunderground • 12/16/24 12:02 PM ET
0 chance BIG said no to ND (before '23), UGA, Bama etc if they asked**
Athens • 12/19/24 08:44 PM ET
Yes. And there are good options available for the B1G that are AAU.
HOO86 • 12/16/24 07:22 PM ET
It will be about the money. FSU might not be a "good partner." But did
Maroon Baboon • 12/16/24 02:13 PM ET
I just don't see FSU as a cultural fit at all. If they want in Florida
Sunsetunderground • 12/17/24 12:18 AM ET
The BIG vetted 10 different schools for inclusion, KU was one of them,
Big12 guy • 12/16/24 12:34 PM ET
Kansas would be a logical P2 target.**
mancunian • 12/16/24 02:49 PM ET
There is a lot I don’t understand about KU and AAU…
lawhokie • 12/16/24 08:20 PM ET
Thinking solely about athletics.

Crippling Va Tech & Southwest Va don’t have Law School, so little influence

How many law schools..........
2hhoop3 • 12/16/24 09:17 PM ET
How many law schools in the Ivy League? Less than you probably think.**
techcutter • 12/19/24 12:48 PM ET
How many Ivy League.....
2hhoop3 • 12/19/24 01:15 PM ET
Actually, 6 (none at Brown or Princeton). Most people assume all 8 have

Fantastic detail, I have never seen, today we need both highways. Va Tech
Stech • 12/17/24 11:02 AM ET
No need to apologize......
2hhoop3 • 12/17/24 09:47 AM ET
Good response, truthfully I am often not realistic, but I do unrealistic
Stech • 12/17/24 10:34 AM ET
I am not saying it is a bad idea .......
2hhoop3 • 12/17/24 11:10 AM ET
We could simply buy a law school and slap a VT sign up
lawhokie • 12/17/24 08:39 AM ET
How did that work?..... ◄
2hhoop3 • 12/17/24 10:01 AM ET
Not sure on details. I believe it was late 1990s
lawhokie • 12/17/24 02:05 PM ET
Thanks for the reply......
2hhoop3 • 12/17/24 02:14 PM ET
No idea about need. Explain to me the need…
lawhokie • 12/17/24 02:58 PM ET
Correct......

I don’t even understand your question.
lawhokie • 12/18/24 08:09 AM ET
The question was simple.......
2hhoop3 • 12/18/24 09:35 AM ET
Oh, I believe PSU bought Dickinson to satisfy the Big Ten**
lawhokie • 12/18/24 06:06 PM ET
Was that an AAU......
2hhoop3 • 12/18/24 07:51 PM ET
The Medical school of Ohio merged with the University
Big12 guy • 12/17/24 02:54 PM ET
VT already acquired Carilion. I believe it was a private-public partnership
lawhokie • 12/18/24 06:16 PM ET
What about the one out in SW Virginia?**
Atlee Hokie • 12/19/24 03:13 AM ET
Sure, why not? Applicants and LSAT scores will jump immediately **
lawhokie • 12/20/24 09:10 PM ET
Well, there is this in Grundy…..**
RJHokie • 12/16/24 09:08 PM ET
AAU tends to give the research dollars to medical schools. **
Big12 guy • 12/16/24 09:01 PM ET
But VT’s R&D expenditures are 1/3 larger
lawhokie • 12/17/24 08:37 AM ET
Maybe, but KU became AAU in 1908. Lot's of history there, and that
Big12 guy • 12/17/24 12:16 PM ET
A lot of VT research $$$ is agricultural.
Atlee Hokie • 12/17/24 10:37 AM ET
I guess they never got hungry.**
IB4TECH • 12/20/24 09:55 AM ET
They are building a new stadium, so they did listen. **
Big12 guy • 12/16/24 02:58 PM ET
B1G would increase subscribers n Florida (*SC, NC, Ga) w/Clemson, & Va & NC

The way I see the expansion target list is as follows:

SEC doesn't need them **
HokiesACC2004 • 12/15/24 08:26 PM ET
Who said the SEC would take FSU & Clemson before UNC? I can’t find the post
Stech • 12/15/24 07:14 PM ET
FWIW I live in Kissimmee Fl and have the B1G network.
seekoHoG • 12/15/24 04:33 PM ET
Yeah, BTN is available everywhere. Way too many snowbirds in the south
reestuart • 12/16/24 11:41 AM ET
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it isn't just if the network is available.

How do carriage fees work with streaming services?

This is true.

I just hope the ACCN is on Neuralink.
Truthahn • 12/16/24 01:20 PM ET
The only thing "traditional cable" needs to sell is broadband access
EDGEMAN • 12/16/24 07:58 AM ET
I think BTN is available on most standard sports packages...
