There's a lot of angst about where VT will be in the long run. The GOR

seems to be pretty solid. Here's a theory that I am not necessarily in favor of testing - the ACC members stand pat while the other as big as they want to be conferences see how life is from coast to coast. There will be a lot of room for mediocrity in those large conferences and that will diminish the network appetites. The question is whether or not the ACCFB brand stays competitive. Maybe the landscape will be totally different in fourteen more years. There is not a more important time for the ACCFB to improve asap since the current ESPN contract is coming to a close.

Virginia Tech is doing well too, even when we had 8 straight 10 win seasons
Stech • 07/04/22 09:47 PM ET

The GOR is strong, unless x amount of schools leave, why isn’t x known?
Stech • 07/04/22 09:08 PM ET
Good Question. The mysterious "X"**
wwhokie1 • 07/05/22 09:24 AM ET
The GOR is an anchor that threatens to pull under the top teams of the ACC.**
133193Hokie • 07/05/22 08:08 AM ET
There is a lack of transparency in all that they do.
Maroon Baboon • 07/05/22 12:03 AM ET
maybe they don't want anyone to know yet
vtka93 • 07/04/22 10:56 PM ET
Can’t edit, meant: x amount of schools “leave”.**

Here is a link to the quote by tarheelblue
wwhokie1 • 07/05/22 09:28 AM ET
If 8 teams had a landing spot, they could vote to expel each other a couple
TDVick • 07/05/22 09:36 PM ET
It also takes a 3/4 majority vote to expel a conference member.**
tarheelblue • 07/05/22 10:07 PM ET
So 11 'yays' needed to get it done.

Atlee Hokie • 07/05/22 09:16 AM ET

Mercury • 07/05/22 09:36 AM ET
Thanks, do we have a link to that, I’ve never seen so many answers on that!
Stech • 07/04/22 09:30 PM ET
Because you are talking about the ACC.
Atlee Hokie • 07/05/22 09:20 AM ET
Yeah that is my understanding.
tarheelblue • 07/04/22 09:26 PM ET
Anyway to link that information? I’ve heard so many different answers, but
Stech • 07/04/22 09:41 PM ET
I don't have a link to it, but I remember reading through the ACC by-laws
tarheelblue • 07/05/22 11:42 AM ET
Link to that information please or are you guessing? **
Stech • 07/04/22 09:12 PM ET

Yes esp if we raid them of a handful of their best teams.
