I'm with you on that. keep in mind, that I am an

avid Toledo Rocket fan, because of my dad, and have gone to many games, as a kid, and as an adult. When you look at the G5, they have pretty much already been left in the dust. I say to hell with the P2. Instead of them breaking away, and offering the ACC and B12 schools a token to continue to participate, I say the rest of FBS, and all of division one basketball break away, and form their own league. Let the media fall where it may, and get back to playing college ball. Maybe include FCS team in the football part, maybe not - it would all depend on what the individual schools want, not what ESPN or the P2 dictate. I'm pretty sure there is enough content to get a pretty good chunk of media money, and the playoff revenue can be distributed to the participants, including conference champions. Let the p2 have their semi pro league, let them pay their athletes as free agents, and lets get back to the idea of educating our kids, and competing against others that have the same set of rules.

Josh Pate, likely no change in 2025 PO seeding, 4-4-2-2-1-1 likely for 26.

My take

The ACC has no such option. **
Big12 guy 02/22/25 06:47 PM ET
What option?**
RandomAsianGuy 02/22/25 08:08 PM ET
To make any decision against the P2 without checking with

VTCALS72 02/24/25 08:21 AM ET
Going against the P2 is a technically possible but unrealistic option
RandomAsianGuy 02/22/25 09:51 PM ET
I agree with your last statement, but to be clear,
Big12 guy 02/23/25 06:20 AM ET
That’s right, P2 will grab what they want, and eventually break off 🏈🏀4💵

We don't have the option of a timetable either

Just a comment on the media part of that.
VTCALS72 02/24/25 08:37 AM ET
All that is well and good........

I don't think the paying player genie will ever be
Big12 guy 02/23/25 04:32 PM ET
Do not disagree with that either......
2hhoop3 02/23/25 04:38 PM ET
Think of all of the kids playing at the FCS level that play
Big12 guy 02/23/25 04:49 PM ET
AGREE. Maybe GW will field a team. **

Their biggest impediment at this point is ESPN

If each of the P4 went to 18 teams, it could work well in the long run.
hokieZ71 02/22/25 09:12 AM ET
do you honestly think a P4 really exist anymore? **
VTCALS72 02/24/25 08:41 AM ET
A couple questions regarding your proposal.
VTHokie2000 02/22/25 09:27 AM ET
#1. Exactly, for football. But it matters for other sports.
hokieZ71 02/22/25 10:28 AM ET
I doubt you could come up with a strong enough sales pitch to convince VT
VTHokie2000 02/22/25 11:16 AM ET
What the heck? Why would that happen?**
hokieZ71 02/22/25 12:42 PM ET
As I stated previously it would happen because the ACC wanted to make sure
