Haha, it appears the PAC bubble is reemerging, and it is your view. I

suppose that is the reason that the ACC didn't expand with any of the schools in the B12 - when you guys could have had any of them. What is that view getting the ACC today? Maybe you should take a step back, and look at the bigger picture. The ACC ship came in, and you didn't get on board. Now it's sailing away, and you continue with your outdated view. The viewership numbers are out there. VT sells out their stadium, but does VT sell out BC, Wake, Duke, or even NC States stadium? Kansas goes on the road, and they play in sold out stadiums, when they have just stunk up the place with football - but they play in stadiums that are sold out, week, after week. Except for 3 stadiums in the ACC (VT, FSU, and Clemson), where does Duke play in front of a sell out crowd? ND doesn't count.

I believe that ultimately UF and USCe will support FSU and Clemson to SEC…

To date, the SEC and B1G don’t compete in the same markets, except across

Why would they need them?**

FSU fans I talk with are certain Noles are destined for the B1G. Apparently

Not likely..**
Hokie83 • 05/03/24 09:31 PM ET
FSU and Clemson to B1G makes more sense than those two to the SEC**
UpstateSCHokie • 05/03/24 06:46 PM ET
I strongly disagree
VTCALS72 • 05/04/24 09:10 AM ET
Clemson is certainly the #1 brand in the upstate (where I live) but if you

I will admit that you have compelling arguments, and we could both be right**
Big12 guy • 05/04/24 10:26 AM ET
They might "support" it, but does the SEC really need FSU and Clemson?
VPI_1998 • 05/03/24 04:12 PM ET
Those two aren't a pimple on UT's butt. **

UT is a unique animal

True…and only one school was against them, not the case with FSU & Clemson.**
Stech • 05/03/24 10:32 PM ET
Where does Clemson go? I don't see it either, with either of the P2. **
Big12 guy • 05/03/24 04:25 PM ET
I think B1G for both FSU and Clemson - it makes sense. Now - as many
VPI_1998 • 05/03/24 04:32 PM ET
Clemson isn't the #1 brand in their market. A better football team for sure

How much of that is the effect of joining the SEC though?

That is a legit question, as I experienced them as an SEC school. **

Splitting hairs - triple A (your term) is an implication that they are G5.

Hey, my whole point all along is a P2 then a next 3 then the G5
