Josh Pate's commentary on ACC-ESPN extension
Maroon Baboon • 02/01/25 02:20 PM ET
If the brand is # of eyeballs like he described it, I’m good with brand. VT
Stech • 02/01/25 09:24 PM ET
But if only 3 teams get the majority of ND visits, their numbers will be...
EDGEMAN • 02/03/25 01:43 PM ET
My question is if F$U is to be considered a brand as long as they are not
IB4TECH • 02/04/25 08:07 PM ET
*Pate said in the Podcast it’s based on ratings, VT needs strong OOC games
Stech • 02/04/25 08:28 PM ET
Unfortunately, I think you are right, not only for VT, but for the
Big12 guy • 02/04/25 10:09 PM ET
Ratings would be okay. That gives everyone a chance.**
IB4TECH • 02/04/25 08:31 PM ET
I hope we make it embarrassingly difficult for the ACC to NOT schedule VT
Marooned • 02/03/25 08:36 PM ET
If ND is going to play CU, UM and FSU in football every year, they should
Maroon Baboon • 02/04/25 02:41 AM ET
Hopefully, we can visit this "brand" idea periodically.
Truthahn • 02/04/25 01:38 PM ET
Its the ACC doing this, ND merely agreed
TerryD • 02/04/25 09:01 AM ET
Glad you said that
1947Sunbowl • 02/04/25 12:25 PM ET
Understood. I don't think it's good for either party to be honest.**
Maroon Baboon • 02/04/25 10:28 AM ET
it definitely benefits the ACC when ND plays on the road against them.**
reestuart • 02/04/25 01:18 PM ET
So, from my perspective, this is not ND cherry picking their
Big12 guy • 02/04/25 07:38 AM ET
All know that SOS component for rankings will increase in value, 4 playoff
Stech • 02/04/25 11:42 AM ET
Definitely an advantage for them with ND’s TV ratings, we need 2 P4 games
Stech • 02/03/25 01:55 PM ET
I question if number three is accurate
SpeakToDamien • 02/01/25 07:01 PM ET
Agree. The article said they are "asking" for it.

Number one will totally happen**

Hold on to your wallet Vanderbilt and Northwestern.**
Maroon Baboon • 02/01/25 07:28 PM ET
they have private money, they are ok**
1947Sunbowl • 02/02/25 04:07 PM ET
I could easily see Georgia Tech being the Mag 7 plus 1 w/ ND not wanting to
Stech • 02/01/25 05:30 PM ET
yes, VT needs to be more agressive in the revenue generator and branding
1947Sunbowl • 02/02/25 04:06 PM ET
So GT and Miami to the BIG one day very possible?
MrFantastic! • 02/02/25 08:37 AM ET
I think GT & Miami fit the recent profile of B1G expansion candidates, VT
Stech • 02/02/25 01:40 PM ET
Best case scenario, but still plausible. B1G and SEC each take one VA and
Maroon Baboon • 02/02/25 01:13 PM ET
All plausible, I prefer Tech & UVA n the same Conference for Olympic sports
Stech • 02/03/25 08:38 AM ET
If the networks will pay for it, anything is possible. The P2 will not
Big12 guy • 02/02/25 02:25 PM ET
I see both as candidates for the B1G, GT was not included in the Mag 7, I
Stech • 02/02/25 09:57 AM ET
Like Josh but he whiffed on his predictions last summer
daveinop • 02/01/25 03:22 PM ET
Remember when the ACC went for that stupid 3-5-5 schedule and they stuck
Maroon Baboon • 02/01/25 05:19 PM ET
That should have told you that the powers that be see VT
VTCALS72 • 02/04/25 11:02 AM ET
Welp. IIRC, they gave Louisville to Miami.
Maroon Baboon • 02/04/25 11:58 AM ET
Yep, he’s just as big of an engagement farmer as the rest of them**

Pylons • 02/01/25 02:50 PM ET
UNC and others want to a private equity deal.
33laszlo99 • 02/02/25 01:24 PM ET
If it is like most are saying, why would the ACC make it cheaper for FSU
VTCALS72 • 02/04/25 07:51 AM ET
So still just.......
2hhoop3 • 02/02/25 01:38 PM ET
Why not? Do you still object to individual opinions?**
33laszlo99 • 02/02/25 01:42 PM ET
Just of trolls......
2hhoop3 • 02/02/25 01:47 PM ET
Guess he’s saying they are going to reduce the penalties to leave in 2031🤷**
Stech • 02/01/25 06:13 PM ET
Yes, that's obvious. Did you read my whole post?**
Pylons • 02/01/25 06:17 PM ET
Yes, but I was wondering where he got that from. That’s a big deal and as

It's from the ESPN article, the last paragraph. Until we know

The entire broadcast landscape will be significantly different in 5 years.

There are so many moving parts, that I think the broadcast end of

What does the ACC get for making it easier for FSU etc to go somewhere else

Personally, I don't think the conference or ESPN

Yes. And a risk to ALL conferences.**

Nole logic. They also think that Cheerios are donut seeds.
Truthahn • 02/03/25 12:51 PM ET
Cheerios as donut seeds deserves a thumbs up. ** ◄
Big12 guy • 02/03/25 02:26 PM ET
And they don't eat them because they heard about the cereal killer.**
Truthahn • 02/04/25 01:05 PM ET
I see it as a danger for the B12. **
Big12 guy • 02/01/25 08:13 PM ET
I don't know of any "brand" that had a worse 2024 than FSU.**
Maroon Baboon • 02/01/25 05:05 PM ET
They still got pie broadcast slots, and people still watched their games.
