All 4 in a P2 would go from 40 million to about $80 million in media money.

Many think that will be over $100 million in the not too distant future. With that money, they can afford to pay athletes. As far as VT, the main money is in football, I would put there ratings up there and probably beyond the other 3. Now UNC basketball and UVA basketball are above us for sure. So if the Pay for Play Division breaks off from paying the NCAA for the tournament, both will bring in a lot of money to the conference there. UNC is not leaving NCSU behind, and the same is true for Virginia Tech and UVA. I think all 4 stick together.

true. But if NCSU is eventually left behind, then that might be the reason.**

VTHokie2000 • 12/06/23 06:53 PM ET
Good questions, IMHO it’s going to be really tough to afford pay athletes
