Where’d you go to school buddy? Just so we know who’s who.

You joined this board all of 3 weeks ago and have been very vocal and opinionated since. What school do you rep?

Clemson post indicates admin softening toward SanCalSMU invite......
Skipper64 • 08/26/23 03:09 PM ET
Is that their way of saying discussions are ongoing with ESPN
corvt2000 • 08/27/23 12:49 PM ET
That sums up my view as well
ren_hoek • 08/26/23 07:49 PM ET
I feel the academic pedigree of two of the schools___
MrBayAreaHokie • 08/26/23 07:42 PM ET
Except it's really not boner-ific
Pylons • 08/26/23 08:35 PM ET
but to people who are in roles like Sands, it matters
Vienna_Hokie • 08/26/23 08:39 PM ET
Have you known anyone in or worked in those halls?
Pylons • 08/26/23 08:42 PM ET
You’re right about faculty, but the Presidents & Chancellors r political
Stech • 08/26/23 10:29 PM ET
Cal and Stanford pass that test very easily in the ACC.
HOO86 • 08/27/23 06:03 PM ET
If it really mattered, Cal and Stanford would have been slam dunks
Pylons • 08/26/23 10:57 PM ET
Are any of your University Presidents in the ACC or B1G? I get the majority
Stech • 08/27/23 06:17 PM ET
Not current ones. 2 former VT ones, pre-ACC.
Pylons • 08/27/23 06:25 PM ET
That’s good stuff, and not surprising with those 2 VT Presidents. That said
Stech • 08/27/23 07:29 PM ET
Sure, everyone does their cocktail parties
Pylons • 08/27/23 07:59 PM ET
I don't disagree with your view, based strictly on a logical argument. But
33laszlo99 • 08/26/23 11:43 PM ET
Of course Stanford would be expected to join the BTAA
Pylons • 08/26/23 11:51 PM ET
I believe Hoo 86 said the Big did want Stanford...
HokiePail • 08/27/23 12:32 PM ET
Fox specifically. Fox wanted UCLA
HOO86 • 08/27/23 05:51 PM ET
I have no problem deferring to you over my "commentators." I have no
33laszlo99 • 08/27/23 12:19 AM ET
11 out of 15 were voting for it from the beginning, that’s almost triple
Stech • 08/26/23 11:21 PM ET
Not to mention that linking athletically
Pylons • 08/26/23 08:44 PM ET
There IS a meaningful academic link within the ACC (link)**
Marooned • 08/26/23 09:04 PM ET
The ACC needs to ramp that up again.
HOO86 • 08/26/23 09:25 PM ET
There's a link. It's not really meaningful. I used that word for a reason.**
Pylons • 08/26/23 09:11 PM ET
I think “stick it to FSU” mentality might be in play just a touch.**
hokieZ71 • 08/26/23 08:24 PM ET
If you want to see the fan support to expect with the proposed three...
EDGEMAN • 08/26/23 07:13 PM ET
Every penny counts
HokiesACC2004 • 08/26/23 05:46 PM ET
Travel expenses & less games playing Clemson, FSU & ND w/ higher ratings is
Stech • 08/26/23 06:09 PM ET
Stanford and Cal take the biggest travel cost hit…
BROman Hokie • 08/26/23 06:56 PM ET
Some observations
Marooned • 08/26/23 07:44 PM ET
If adding these 3 schools will bring a few million more per school then
tarheelblue • 08/26/23 03:24 PM ET
Doubtful it gets pulled apart at that time
SpeakToDamien • 08/26/23 06:40 PM ET
I agree, things can change a lot in 12 years....
HokiePail • 08/27/23 12:36 PM ET
Explain how less games w/ ND, Clemson and FSU makes this good for the ACC?
Stech • 08/26/23 04:05 PM ET
Because it’s more money. And because our conference sucks.
hokieZ71 • 08/26/23 06:05 PM ET
I understand what you’re saying, but is it a net gain after travel expenses
Stech • 08/26/23 06:15 PM ET
Ok here’s my honest thought on that.
hokieZ71 • 08/26/23 07:57 PM ET
That's why this is taking so long. ESPN and the ACC are calculating that.**
tarheelblue • 08/26/23 06:22 PM ET
Tell ESPN we'll do it for $10M more per football conference school, and...
EDGEMAN • 08/26/23 06:31 PM ET
Good luck**
xx97 • 08/26/23 07:03 PM ET
Did you go to college? What school? TIA.**
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/26/23 11:52 PM ET
In that case, tell ESPN to stuff it! No expansion this round!**
EDGEMAN • 08/26/23 07:12 PM ET
Thank you!! And thank them for doing their due diligence!!**
Stech • 08/26/23 06:31 PM ET
B12 doesn't want any of the 3. They're all yours, buddy**
xx97 • 08/26/23 05:07 PM ET
I don't Stanford ever wanted any part of the Big 12 **
HokiesACC2004 • 08/26/23 05:47 PM ET
What works for the ACC doesn’t necessarily work for the B12
Marooned • 08/26/23 08:28 PM ET
The feeling is mutual. Cal too.
Millpoint • 08/26/23 06:55 PM ET
Don't know. But it's mutual if true.**
xx97 • 08/26/23 06:52 PM ET
Not just the B12, but the B1G too.**
Stech • 08/26/23 05:47 PM ET
Every ranking I’ve seen…
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/26/23 06:07 PM ET
Don't sell Unc or Ncst short. Wvu....
HokiePail • 08/26/23 06:53 PM ET
B12 makes more TV revenue. Networks don't agree.**
xx97 • 08/26/23 06:53 PM ET
Yo TWEEDLEDUM of GOOFY U…
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/26/23 10:17 PM ET
Because they want VT in their conference? Plus, the B12 boards suck. **
Big12 guy • 08/26/23 06:27 PM ET
I love teasing a KState alum friend with this**
MrBayAreaHokie • 08/26/23 07:36 PM ET

Hokie12thman • 08/26/23 11:22 PM ET

MrBayAreaHokie • 08/27/23 12:11 AM ET
Oh man that’s bad 🤣**
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/26/23 07:52 PM ET
Honest answer, I appreciate that.
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/26/23 06:49 PM ET
What’s the best football brand in the B12? Just curious buddy.**
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/26/23 05:22 PM ET
Don't know....but see this: $**
xx97 • 08/26/23 06:54 PM ET
BS. Post the $ numbers then please, buddy. **
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/26/23 07:03 PM ET
Already have. Easy to find.**
xx97 • 08/26/23 07:04 PM ET
What’s your alma mater?**
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/26/23 07:12 PM ET
TCU beat Michigan in the playoff and made it to the National Championship.
Stech • 08/26/23 05:48 PM ET
So is that the answer? TCU is the best football brand in the B12?**
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/26/23 05:53 PM ET
The Big 12 can't compete with the Acc in football....
HokiePail • 08/26/23 06:56 PM ET
Who else did what they did?**
Stech • 08/26/23 05:57 PM ET
I was talking to xx97 who apparently thinks the B12…
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/26/23 06:12 PM ET
No cares what VT did 25 years ago.
xx97 • 08/26/23 06:55 PM ET
Troll. Where’d you go to school in the B12 and what was your degree?
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/26/23 07:05 PM ET
The Big 12 is inferior. The Acc has 3 national championships...
HokiePail • 08/26/23 06:58 PM ET
Money says otherwise. The ultimate arbiter of dispute. **
xx97 • 08/26/23 07:05 PM ET
Where’d you go to school buddy? Just so we know who’s who. ◄
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/26/23 07:39 PM ET
At this point, this is either about $ or it isn't.
daveinop • 08/26/23 05:01 PM ET
You’re right it’s about money, but if ratings go down, $ will go down too.
Stech • 08/26/23 05:46 PM ET
When were the two contracts signed?**
MrBayAreaHokie • 08/26/23 07:38 PM ET
do you think we are currently being paid below market; or
daveinop • 08/26/23 06:43 PM ET
Money won't go down if ratings go down, because the contract is locked in
tarheelblue • 08/26/23 06:20 PM ET
It also means less games against Wake, Pitt, BC and Syr...
