Cable fees in California are pretty nice.

I agree with your point about cable fees. The internet tells me there are 6.25 million cable subscribers in California. At just $1.00 per month (I don't know the actual carriage fee)that brings $75 million per year. No wonder The B1G went west. Their fee is well above $1.00 I believe. But every plan you come up with must address the GoR. That contract says that any new additions to The ACC must sign-on to the existing GoR. Which among those schools wants to join a GoR that runs until 2036. The next problem is that when we talk about expansion we tend to look only at the added income. Let's not forget that these schools must be paid a media share. California schools may pay for themselves, but who else does?

If I were the ACC Commish...what would I do???
CobbCountyHokie • 07/19/22 12:50 PM ET
Yes, our best option is expanding and crushing the PAC and B12
Truthahn • 07/20/22 06:36 PM ET
Simple
VT Rockie • 07/20/22 01:29 PM ET
I agree with your idea of going Big on adding subscribers.
HOO86 • 07/19/22 10:45 PM ET
One thing, commissioners dont own the conference its the presidents
Mercury • 07/19/22 07:00 PM ET
I would start with a vote to expand playoffs and auto bids for conf champs

Re #5 call it the PACC, Pacific Atlantic Coasts Conference**
Truthahn • 07/20/22 06:41 PM ET
The problem is that the ACC Presidents have shown no

My belief....
MrFantastic! • 07/19/22 02:47 PM ET
I had a similar pod view in mind to make it work for the west coast
HokieAl • 07/19/22 03:39 PM ET
Agree, the 4 of Stanford, Oregon, Washington and Cal, then
hoodat • 07/19/22 06:02 PM ET
If I was ACC Commissioner, then my plan is simple.
VTHokie2000 • 07/19/22 02:34 PM ET
I agree with all but the size.
hokieZ71 • 07/19/22 02:17 PM ET
A few ideas. 1. Form relegation and promotion league with the B12/Pac10/ACC
Maroon Baboon • 07/19/22 02:12 PM ET
Some great thoughts here. I do believe if they can toss the ND contract
goldendomer • 07/19/22 01:50 PM ET
In 6 years do you feel ND is in the B1G or still independent?
hokieZ71 • 07/19/22 02:22 PM ET
Notre Dame would have to decide if football independence
Old Line Hokie • 07/19/22 04:08 PM ET
It's not when you're looking at that much cash on the table.
EDGEMAN • 07/19/22 05:59 PM ET
I believe by 2030 we will be in full in the Big 10. We will run through
goldendomer • 07/19/22 02:24 PM ET
BTW, thanks for sticking around here.
hokieZ71 • 07/19/22 06:21 PM ET
Still not clear how ND
Sunsetunderground • 07/19/22 03:27 PM ET
By 2030 the buy out and GOR will be afforable
goldendomer • 07/19/22 03:38 PM ET
That would save ND lots of money

The B1X would have been better served if they had taken 1 CA school...
EDGEMAN • 07/19/22 06:01 PM ET
I would get Beth Dutton involved ASAP!**
HokieToph • 07/19/22 01:41 PM ET
Funny how the guy that used to work for the cable co had no clue about this**
CobbCountyHokie • 07/19/22 04:31 PM ET
This is the plan with the most probability of success**

"expand or be run over". Agree 1000%**
extremehokie • 07/19/22 01:04 PM ET
I feel like this all comes down to ESPN/Disney. Am I wrong?
