I don't represent the B12, but the idea that the B12 has anything to

do with the ACC at this point is a bit over the skies. The ACC faltering is not good for college football, and your contract extension did not fix the problems that the ACC is currently having. What concerns me the most is that even after the BIG and SEC contracts were announced, is that ESPN did not up the monies in the current ACC contract. Even with the moves that FSU and Clemson have made publicly, the mag 7 coming together, and the addition of the Norther California market potential. ESPN has now made it more difficult for any wiggle room that the ACC had, or may have had. It also showed me that the puppet master ESPN may not have been the ones pulling the strings in the collapse of the PAC, as if they wanted the Virginia, Florida, and North Carolina markets in the P2, the outcome would have been different.

Reading the Tea Leaves: 2031 and the ACC
RandomAsianGuy • 02/12/25 09:16 AM ET
if a breakaway was going to happen, they'd have already done it
daveinop • 02/12/25 07:24 PM ET
I think expansion is about done.
hokieZ71 • 02/12/25 01:38 PM ET
yes, this...
daveinop • 02/12/25 07:26 PM ET
#1 Fsu has nowhere to go. #2 Espn locked the ACC in until the mid 2030s. **
SpeakToDamien • 02/12/25 12:31 PM ET
1. I think the B10 is interested in FSU. 2. I said “BUY-OUT”.
RandomAsianGuy • 02/12/25 01:35 PM ET
The ACC has no incentive to agree to a reduced buyout for FSU. **
tarheelblue • 02/12/25 02:22 PM ET
Getting some money vs. no money when the contract expires?
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/12/25 04:04 PM ET
The ACC may be a sinking ship
RandomAsianGuy • 02/12/25 05:34 PM ET
I can't argue with your little fantasies.
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/12/25 05:39 PM ET
Your deadweight argument is getting old.
RandomAsianGuy • 02/12/25 06:10 PM ET
Can you not read?
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/13/25 10:11 AM ET
I can read. Thanks for being super rude.
RandomAsianGuy • 02/13/25 02:41 PM ET
I've responded to it several times, big guy. You just ignore my response.
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/13/25 03:45 PM ET
You don't get it or pretend you don't get it?
RandomAsianGuy • 02/13/25 05:15 PM ET
Full share B12 members will be distributed $44m this year vs.-
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/13/25 05:42 PM ET
Math is easy. $470M for 14 schools = $33.6M per school.
RandomAsianGuy • 02/13/25 06:15 PM ET
The math is different because........

Who wants to stay? That is the better question. **

None. Every M2 school would leave for the P2 if possible. Between M2,

"WVU, Cincinnati, UCF, Utah, and ASU would want to join the ACC"
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/13/25 10:24 AM ET
You probably haven't realized how crazy funny you are.**

Are you upset?
RandomAsianGuy • 02/12/25 08:42 PM ET
Look out everyone, he's got his crystal ball out again!!!
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/13/25 10:57 AM ET
Dial it back, please.
Will StewartAdmin • 02/13/25 04:38 PM ET
Didn't he get a warning before? Not sure why he keeps insulting others.**
RandomAsianGuy • 02/13/25 05:05 PM ET
There's a big difference in insulting someone personally and insulting-
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/13/25 05:44 PM ET
So, you think it's OK to insult other peoples positions if you don't agree?
RandomAsianGuy • 02/13/25 06:17 PM ET
Lol. All you can do is insult.
RandomAsianGuy • 02/13/25 02:43 PM ET
Sorry, not upset. FSU can go to
Big12 guy • 02/12/25 09:24 PM ET
ACC + G5 maybe but if we are then it will most likely be the G8
VTCALS72 • 02/12/25 05:31 PM ET
I understand that you'd LIKE the ACC to be thought of as a peer w/ the B12-
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/12/25 05:34 PM ET
Who says any backfilling will be needed?
VTCALS72 • 02/12/25 05:45 PM ET
Ah, another post I can break down sentence by sentence. I like these-

Go to an Iowa state game, and compare that to any in the ACC. Like

It is an east coast bubble that Vt is in. That is part of the reality.
VTCALS72 • 02/12/25 09:10 PM ET
I think the biggest bubble around these parts is the one you're living in-
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/13/25 10:20 AM ET
The idea that the Big 12 would raid the Pac-12 was fantasy talk too
tarheelblue • 02/12/25 04:26 PM ET
Big difference - The Big 12 didn't raid the Pac-12 until USC, UCLA, Oregon-
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/12/25 04:39 PM ET
You're basically proving my point.
tarheelblue • 02/12/25 04:48 PM ET
You're not incorrect, but what's going to change between now and 2031-
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/12/25 05:09 PM ET
I agree that is the most plausible scenario, but strange things can happen.**
tarheelblue • 02/16/25 09:41 PM ET
This is NOT an ACC vs the B12 thing guys. This is an ACC thing. **
Big12 guy • 02/12/25 04:54 PM ET
No, it is the B12 knowing that their dream is totally flushed
VTCALS72 • 02/12/25 10:15 PM ET
I don't represent the B12, but the idea that the B12 has anything to ◄
Big12 guy • 02/13/25 07:15 AM ET
You should save your breath - some will never understand that.
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/12/25 05:23 PM ET
What are your REAL issues....
2hhoop3 • 02/12/25 04:19 PM ET
TCU is better than SMU but I would take SMU over Houston. **
RandomAsianGuy • 02/12/25 05:26 PM ET
If you can google media rights contract payouts, you can google TV viewers.

Come on.

How are they a 'positive addition?' What do they actually do for anyone?
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/12/25 04:31 PM ET
You really need to examine.......
2hhoop3 • 02/12/25 04:36 PM ET
Let me just go ahead and break your post down, sentence by sentence.
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/12/25 05:00 PM ET
They weren't already in .......

If it was wrong.....

UNC's the prize pig in the ACC, not Clemson or FSU**
mancunian • 02/12/25 10:43 AM ET
You are probably right. But UNC can wait until the GoR expires.
RandomAsianGuy • 02/12/25 01:37 PM ET
That's a mighty big assumption that the SEC is even interested in FSU
HokieToph • 02/12/25 10:26 AM ET
FSU doens’t have a chance with the SEC. Their best bet is the B10 IMHO. **
RandomAsianGuy • 02/12/25 01:32 PM ET
Yes, the B1G really wants to get into Florida. FSU just needs AAU status.**
tarheelblue • 02/12/25 02:24 PM ET
It may be best for FSU and Clemson to negotiate for 2031
