Ill be the first to admit that I don't know the answer for the ACC, but

what i do know, is that there are no longer any blue bloods out there that can raise the value of the ACC's contract closer to the BIG than the B12. It's just my opinion, but if the ACC is going to make a move to assure its existence after the top programs leave, they are going to have to make it now. God bless, when the B12 lost texas and OY, then added 4 G5's, they actually got a raise with their media deal (reported). The raise in their media deal allowed them to be decent landing spots for the 4 corners. The ACC currently has teams lined up to be a part of your conference, different time zones, more content, and when you look at the G5 options, schools that are investing into their football programs - those bring value. I would point to the UCF and Cincy acquisitions for the B12. Apparently there is data to support the idea that they actually brought value to the B12, otherwise, ESPN and FOX would not have inked the deal they did. The ACC will not get a Big 10 type of contract - ever in my opinion. The only reasonable alternative for the top schools is to leave and join the P2 - but as we know, the GOR is still in place. The ACC can not just sit back, I mean they are good for now, but it's the down the road thing that they should be looking at.

No...the Big12 sucks (unless we have to join)**
Tuckahokie • 08/21/23 03:30 PM ET
No. ACC payouts should pass Big 12 in a few years...
Old Line Hokie • 08/21/23 03:29 PM ET
There is no point where ACC payouts will surpass the B12**

Shows PAC12 passing Big 12 next year.
HokieDelNorte • 08/21/23 06:42 PM ET
I said it was from before the PAC break up
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 06:49 PM ET
why??? I don't get this recent awe of the Big 12,
cvillehokie92 • 08/21/23 02:13 PM ET
Utah is a bottom feeder in all this as well, how you do on field
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 06:12 PM ET
Tomorrow~no. If ACC blows up and no invite from B10 or SEC, then yes
hokiesrule98 • 08/21/23 02:10 PM ET
The B12 would take VT in a heartbeat, and based on recent events, would

Definitely no!**

No**
HokieJamie • 08/21/23 01:37 PM ET
More-- it historically going back to the SWC etc. has not been the most
Nelsonia Hokie • 08/21/23 01:37 PM ET
Correct, B12 was the TX/OU/NEB/aTm and who they wanted to own after the SWC

No., **

No......

if the top schools leave, the ACC leftovers can become a B12 clone
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 09:10 PM ET
No thanks, zero financial benefit right now.

why? assuming (which I don't) FSU/Clem/Miami/UNC leave
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 07:14 PM ET
If the ACC loses its top 4 to 6 teams, I seriously doubt they will be able
wwhokie1 • 08/21/23 10:29 PM ET
Set aside your opinion of the B12 for a moment, and focus
Big12 guy • 08/21/23 08:03 PM ET
If the GOR holds, and nothing says it won't, expansion is irrelevant
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 08:18 PM ET
The GOR is not forever, and the current situation is untenable.
Big12 guy • 08/21/23 08:27 PM ET
They were absolutely no brainers to not add, they add nothing, they cost
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 08:34 PM ET
With each day and year.......
2hhoop3 • 08/21/23 08:53 PM ET
Yes, the current model is not sustainable for anyone except the SEC

If the goal is survival at any cost, then it should die

yes for 70 mil per yr**

Nope! Not interested in B12! **

Big12 guy • 08/21/23 12:57 PM ET
They also didn't have 12+ years remaining on a GOR that pays very well**
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 02:45 PM ET
Fair, but the fact is, they never made the call. Remember, before the PAC
Big12 guy • 08/21/23 03:50 PM ET
Once again, there is nothing out there that makes the ACC better
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 05:52 PM ET
Now, or when the top ACC teams leave? **
Big12 guy • 08/21/23 08:06 PM ET
both, if top teams leave, you see what that means and decide how to move
Vienna_Hokie • 08/21/23 08:21 PM ET
I think WV and UCF are content. They should be in the ACC, but there
