We need more than Clemson and FSU to be relevant

VT and Miami need to be good and win OOC P5 games consistently. UNC has enough resources to win at least 8 games every year and 10 fairly consistently. Same with UVa and NCSU. Do that and the dollars will follow. ESPN's part is to stop downplaying the ACC in FB and BB every freaking second. In undermines our marketability, feeds the narrative, and gives them a self fulfilling prophecy to continue underpaying us. Just stop.

We are all contractually obligated to receive at least $40M per school
hokieZ71 • 05/21/23 05:45 PM ET

Ummm, are you saying winning and being relevant in the playoffs matter?
Big12 guy • 05/21/23 11:02 PM ET
The odds of that are so slim, whay speculate?
VTCALS72 • 05/21/23 07:36 PM ET
Some of the Magnificent 7 could be really good
