I agree on everything you said and I think ESPN & Fox are calling the shots

and they have gone with the SEC and the B1G as the only Tier 1 football Conferences.

I had hoped it wasn’t so, but once Texas and Oklahoma made their move and Washington DC said throttle down, I don’t think there is anything right now that can stop it,

Could the ACC use the situation to offer ESPN more content
4x4hokies • 04/19/22 06:22 PM ET
The only way to add value is to add audience.
HOO86 • 04/19/22 07:46 PM ET
Is there any other forum that is discussing this?
PaNDalum • 04/18/22 04:57 PM ET
Yes, the Conference Realignment Board at CSNbbs.com**

A post from 10 yrs ago saying if ESPN keeps talking up th SEC & downing ACC
Stech • 04/20/22 11:38 AM ET
I don't follow other boards, but here article after article linked here
Stech • 04/19/22 08:01 AM ET
I’m beginning to see it more like Dabo
PaNDalum • 04/19/22 05:17 PM ET
Its either adapt or die (on the vine) time
TerryD • 04/19/22 08:27 PM ET
True, & not just ND, many schools have used Tier 1 to advance academics

I think ND renews the NBC deal
TerryD • 04/19/22 09:32 AM ET
Yep, i am guessing( total guess) we get one more NBC
goldendomer • 04/19/22 11:10 AM ET
Interesting from the article that NBC wants a Big Ten game to go along with

Thanks for the reply, 3 or 5 years, we both agree it’s closing in on the
Stech • 04/19/22 11:02 AM ET
No, 5 years from the 2025 renewal
TerryD • 04/19/22 03:12 PM ET
Okay, gotcha, more like 7-8 years.**
Stech • 04/19/22 03:22 PM ET
With some others. **
MrFantastic! • 04/19/22 10:39 AM ET
Yes, there is a couple of other boards that are as resigned
goldendomer • 04/18/22 09:40 PM ET
I only follow this board for the most part, what other boards follow CR?**
Stech • 04/18/22 11:35 PM ET
Dirtburglars.com, is a Oklahoma board
goldendomer • 04/19/22 11:21 AM ET
I mostly steer clear of that one
OU_Sooner • 04/19/22 02:14 PM ET
I used to go there, but page after page of insults got bad.
HOO86 • 04/19/22 07:11 PM ET
It can turn into pure chaos. It used to be a better thread, but now a few
goldendomer • 04/20/22 10:58 AM ET
Dirtburglers is a trainwreck, but sometimes some good info appears.
goldendomer • 04/19/22 03:17 PM ET
Thanks for the information **
Stech • 04/19/22 10:58 AM ET
Agreed
TerryD • 04/18/22 10:14 AM ET
Any change in attitude of the ND fanbase about possibly joining B1G?
Millpoint • 04/18/22 05:30 PM ET
No, it will be hated but it also seems inevitable down the road**
TerryD • 04/19/22 08:29 PM ET
For me it was the same as the Big East, I wanted to stay unless it was
Stech • 04/18/22 10:35 AM ET
I loved being in the Big East.
Maroon Baboon • 04/18/22 05:30 PM ET
I am clearly different
TerryD • 04/19/22 03:18 PM ET
A big difference though is that there are subjective criteria that gets
Maroon Baboon • 04/19/22 03:34 PM ET
If ND goes undefeated in football, problem solved

🍎s & 🍊s
Maroon Baboon • 04/20/22 12:05 AM ET
It was fun because it was VT’s rise but the conference sucked
Colonel Jessup • 04/19/22 11:06 AM ET
Pretty clear you're only talking about BE football
EDGEMAN • 04/19/22 10:33 AM ET
Big East football was so much more fun. The ACC is too country club IMO.
reestuart • 04/18/22 05:23 PM ET
BEFC had more passion. IMHO, top to bottom....
Old Line Hokie • 04/19/22 12:12 AM ET
My take too. It was a better football conference than the ACC
EDGEMAN • 04/19/22 10:36 AM ET
The only programs that are undoubtedly better off than they were before
Maroon Baboon • 04/19/22 03:41 PM ET
My post below sort of the same thinking.**

Thanks Dave! Fascinating times, I copied & pasted the last paragraph inside
Stech • 04/18/22 10:13 AM ET
B1G gonna get paid.
33laszlo99 • 04/16/22 12:31 PM ET
Could you explain the USF angle to me?
Maroon Baboon • 04/18/22 10:32 AM ET
Just spitballin'
33laszlo99 • 04/18/22 12:11 PM ET
If it were truly just a B1G vs. SEC battle
Colonel Jessup • 04/18/22 10:56 AM ET
Looks like zero chance ESPN will continue to control the CFP after 2025
daveinop • 04/16/22 11:45 AM ET
The powers that be.....

Hear, hear**
33laszlo99 • 04/16/22 02:49 PM ET
Does ESPN control the ACC until 2035?
Old Line Hokie • 04/16/22 02:08 PM ET
The TV contract was not part of the ACC docs I got last year
daveinop • 04/17/22 02:41 PM ET
I cannot answer that.......
2hhoop3 • 04/16/22 03:08 PM ET
A small outside chance
33laszlo99 • 04/16/22 02:56 PM ET
GoR contracts will be unenforceable. Not a slam dunk, but it gives me hope.
Stech • 04/18/22 08:54 AM ET
Hope for a fresh start
33laszlo99 • 04/18/22 12:44 PM ET
They could vote to administer football apart from the other sports
daveinop • 04/20/22 09:36 AM ET
That would "green light" the better football schools to jump to...
EDGEMAN • 04/19/22 10:44 AM ET
Football first southern schools to the SEC and some other ACC Schools & PAC
Stech • 04/18/22 01:11 PM ET
My hope is the pay would be uniform across schools in
