I try not to post.....

anything, opinion or fact, that I cannot logically and intelligently explain and defend with something more than a faint cry of "it's my opinion" if I am challenged. You can do what you like but, whining indignantly does not support your point or represent a real exchange of ideas or promote discussion on an INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD, that is accomplished by explaining and defending the points you try to make.

If the reality is that the ACC schools are stuck together until 2036. maybe
TDVick • 08/25/23 10:19 PM ET
how can anyone from the B12 talk smack?
MrBayAreaHokie • 08/25/23 01:46 PM ET
That just happens to make more money**

HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/25/23 10:53 PM ET
Big 12 makes $44 million per school. ACC $39 million.
xx97 • 08/25/23 11:33 PM ET
Foul on you!! 🤫Liar liar pants on fire! 🥱
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/26/23 07:42 AM ET
We're talking average for the conference. Not variations.
xx97 • 08/26/23 05:05 PM ET
🤣🤣excellent !!**
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/25/23 02:22 PM ET
He's not a smack talker.
hokieZ71 • 08/25/23 02:12 PM ET
Nah, there is a bit of smack talk in it if we are perceiving it that way
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/25/23 02:26 PM ET
That's the nature of the game, though. He probably endures more than we do
hokieZ71 • 08/25/23 02:28 PM ET
But we’re not doing it at a B12 board.
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/25/23 02:38 PM ET
That's why I made my initial comment.
hokieZ71 • 08/25/23 02:59 PM ET
Yes, absolutely! 👍
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/25/23 04:05 PM ET
Of course we do

Big12 guy • 08/25/23 01:52 PM ET
I think we can be equal opportunity smack accusers !!
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/25/23 02:28 PM ET
Let’s talk about the B12 schools that are really not that good…
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/25/23 01:34 PM ET
That would beat VT like a rented mule?
xx97 • 08/25/23 10:21 PM ET
Who would beat VT like a rented Mule? I’m about to do that to you.
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/26/23 11:38 PM ET
Whoa, Nellie! I drink bourbon & I know stuff, especially mules…
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/25/23 10:42 PM ET
Getting into Texas and California is probably a good idea.
Maroon Baboon • 08/25/23 01:31 PM ET
It would only happen because of economic and competitive viability.
hokieZ71 • 08/25/23 12:41 PM ET
ACC is tied with B1G for second most CFP Entries. Only behind SEC.
HOO86 • 08/25/23 12:02 PM ET
Floundering only in the sense of the disparity in the media contracts and
Big12 guy • 08/25/23 12:06 PM ET

How do you know......
2hhoop3 • 08/25/23 10:47 PM ET
It is not known, as you say. This is not sworn testimony I am offering.
33laszlo99 • 08/26/23 12:02 PM ET
It does not torture me.....
2hhoop3 • 08/26/23 12:34 PM ET
Are you seriously suggesting that I need to defend my opinions to you?

2hhoop3 • 08/26/23 01:51 PM ET
I think you are on to something here. The Networks are shuffling the deck,
Big12 guy • 08/26/23 09:05 AM ET
Could other conferences have NOT made similar agreements with the TV
TDVick • 08/26/23 01:44 AM ET
Maybe you can share.....
2hhoop3 • 08/26/23 10:00 AM ET
My guess is he is finding out the value first. These additions look pretty
TDVick • 08/26/23 11:24 AM ET
I missed in your reply.....
2hhoop3 • 08/26/23 11:48 AM ET
I'll drop it. The crystal ball can get cloudy sometimes.
TDVick • 08/26/23 11:50 AM ET
Careful TDVick. The Opinion Police are on patrol.**

It has been litigated to death on this board that it's not an if,
Big12 guy • 08/25/23 12:43 PM ET
At this point I would almost rather VT join the B12 and play Okie State
TDVick • 08/26/23 01:56 AM ET
It most certainly is....
2hhoop3 • 08/25/23 01:28 PM ET
ACC in a touch spot, they are criticized either way,

Big12 guy • 08/25/23 01:19 PM ET
The Big East already tried with UConn, it’s not happening…
BROman Hokie • 08/25/23 04:39 PM ET
I think you need a Carolina presence also…so I’ll throw in
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/25/23 01:44 PM ET

HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/25/23 01:41 PM ET
However, if B12 wants to be expand their footprint…I’ll trade ya
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/25/23 01:38 PM ET
Fail again…I’ve heard this about UConn for 20 years…
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/25/23 01:32 PM ET
I would have liked them in the B12. I think the basketball content is
Big12 guy • 08/25/23 01:47 PM ET
Take them, keep over expanding **
VaTechHokiesACC • 08/25/23 02:40 PM ET
Why doesn’t the big 12 get UCONN?**
