Na, I'll shoot from the hip, it's more my style. I'll also base my

conclusions on what has been reported by the B12, and comments by the athletic directors. Until they release the documents, it's all we got, until they tell us otherwise. The conference bylaws state the distribution process. If you signed on the dotted line, and the ACC owns the rights, then you signed based on those by laws. By changing the distribution formula, are you not changing the agreement between the members and the conference?

ACC absolutely open to expansion, Jim Phillips tells ESPN
hokieZ71 • 07/27/23 10:19 PM ET
The key comment is," has not found enough value in any expansion option"
wwhokie1 • 07/28/23 09:46 AM ET
No that’s the wrong quote. You gotta pay attention to the wording (inside)
hokieZ71 • 07/28/23 11:15 AM ET
Actually not the wrong quote, just a different quote.
wwhokie1 • 07/28/23 06:12 PM ET
To be fair mine was quoting “league officials”
hokieZ71 • 07/28/23 07:40 PM ET
He makes it sound like he's quoting league officials but doesn't actually
wwhokie1 • 07/29/23 09:55 AM ET
Reading comprehension......
2hhoop3 • 07/29/23 10:47 AM ET
He just failed to mention the only three options that would really work
Vippie1 • 07/28/23 09:15 AM ET
Oregon and Washington would reopen our TV contract to negotiations
Truthahn • 07/28/23 09:39 AM ET
Oregon and Washington are looking to the big 10 not the ACC.
wwhokie1 • 07/28/23 09:51 AM ET
Adding a California school would be huge for ACCN subscriptions, no?
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/23 12:26 PM ET
The ACC is the best option to keep Oregon and Washington with closer rivals
hokieZ71 • 07/28/23 11:16 AM ET
I feel it goes beyond finances and fit.
Truthahn • 07/28/23 10:44 AM ET
I'd be curious to know FSU's opinion on UO and UW.
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/23 12:31 PM ET
If FSU files, it also triggers an immediate obligation to pay**
daveinop • 07/28/23 08:22 AM ET
Theoretically, could a school join the ACC but not sign the GOR?
HokieAl • 07/27/23 11:11 PM ET
ESPN is one reason we have the GOR extended out so far. They wanted to
wwhokie1 • 07/28/23 10:02 AM ET
Isn't that the Notre Dame deal?**
LonghornHokie • 07/28/23 03:32 AM ET
Didn't ND sign some type of a GOR deal?
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 06:32 AM ET
My understanding is that Notre Dame signed the GOR, but since it does not
wwhokie1 • 07/28/23 10:04 AM ET
The GOR covers all sports but football (Indy/NBC) and hockey (Big Ten)**
TerryD • 07/28/23 06:57 AM ET
Maybe the ACC should focus on expansion with hockey schools?
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 07:32 AM ET
FWIW all 15 ACC schools currently sponsors men's ice hockey at the club
VTHokie2000 • 07/28/23 08:51 AM ET
BC and ND play NCAA hockey, just not in the ACC.
Truthahn • 07/28/23 10:14 AM ET
ND home games under NBC contract; road games under BTN
TerryD • 07/28/23 03:43 PM ET
I know BC and Notre Dame play NCAA DI ice hockey. They are also one of the
VTHokie2000 • 07/28/23 10:45 AM ET
No**
2hhoop3 • 07/27/23 11:25 PM ET
I suppose, but why?
hokieZ71 • 07/27/23 11:19 PM ET
That's assuming dissolution is a means
SpeakToDamien • 07/27/23 11:31 PM ET
FSU, in my opinion
SpeakToDamien • 07/27/23 11:00 PM ET
FSU is all Florida crazy, they have no legal alternatives
Mercury • 07/28/23 07:40 AM ET
I think FSU and Big desire each other
MrFantastic! • 07/28/23 06:28 AM ET
I think F$U is probably not that desired by the SEC
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 07:48 AM ET
Im routing for lsu
Mercury • 07/28/23 10:02 AM ET
We shall see how "back" F$U is in that first game.
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 10:39 AM ET
FSU is like Britney Spears on Instagram in 2023
MrBayAreaHokie • 07/28/23 01:17 AM ET
I feel like a lot of FSU's "options" are in their heads.
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/23 12:06 AM ET
Gonna be fun to see what happens either way.
hokieZ71 • 07/27/23 11:03 PM ET
Chris Nee is either.......
2hhoop3 • 07/27/23 10:32 PM ET
For some reason, FSU smells foul here. I mean, the PAC is ripe....
hokieZ71 • 07/27/23 10:39 PM ET
The thing is...
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 06:36 AM ET
It is doubtful.......
2hhoop3 • 07/27/23 10:51 PM ET
Dogs that chase cars and actually catch them usually wind up dead.**
RJHokie • 07/27/23 10:35 PM ET
Very perceptive......
2hhoop3 • 07/27/23 10:40 PM ET
WVU, SMU, UO and UW are an odd combination of schools.
Maroon Baboon • 07/27/23 10:30 PM ET
SMU?
Marooned • 07/28/23 07:21 AM ET
From what I understand, SMU would be more valuable to the ACC than the PAC.
Maroon Baboon • 07/28/23 10:28 AM ET
Have to look at who will increase income
mrcaniac • 07/28/23 12:17 AM ET
Now that there are no more divisions in the ACC, how would a pod system...
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 06:39 AM ET
More of a hybrid pod system
mrcaniac • 07/28/23 10:11 PM ET
Football scheduling could easily work as you describe
obguthr • 07/28/23 05:44 AM ET
yeah - if there was ever to be some sort of bi-coastal deal between ACC+PAC
VPI_1998 • 07/28/23 06:02 AM ET
It was more reflective over time. Not current.
hokieZ71 • 07/27/23 10:37 PM ET
WVU is the one that makes the most sense.
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 06:51 AM ET
UConn checks a lot of boxes
CappyHokie • 07/28/23 01:25 PM ET
Unfortunately the ACC needs football schools
EDGEMAN • 07/28/23 02:23 PM ET
We need relative football strength. UConn does not bring that to the table
HokiePride • 07/28/23 02:18 PM ET
Are we not desperate? Because I think we are desperate.
hokieZ71 • 07/28/23 07:57 AM ET
It's a false choice. The ACC and B12 will be comparable
Big12 guy • 07/28/23 08:58 AM ET
They surely are. But they aren’t moving until the 7 ahead of them move.
hokieZ71 • 07/28/23 11:08 AM ET
I think you should.......
2hhoop3 • 07/28/23 10:19 AM ET
You are right,
Big12 guy • 07/28/23 10:46 AM ET
The GOR or......
2hhoop3 • 07/28/23 11:28 AM ET
Na, I'll shoot from the hip, it's more my style. I'll also base my ◄
Big12 guy • 07/28/23 01:15 PM ET
Might be your style......
2hhoop3 • 07/28/23 02:44 PM ET
Bigger isn't necessarily better**
