Landing Spot

Even if 8 wanted out, there is no guarantee they will land anywhere. It's not a given as to what the criteria is anymore. At one time it was media markets. Well Boston hasn't been a financial boom for ACC nor has Dallas for the Big 12, so that's probably not it anymore. Wins and losses are good, but until last year FSU wasn't setting the world on fire and they are being mentioned. Heck if it was wins/losses Wake Forest should be close to the top. So we are in a place of ultimate uncertainty and it's not looking great right now. Meanwhile the Pawl Finebaum's of the world continue to be smug and dismissive of anything not $SEC and to a lesser extent the BIG. Heck he was laughing today when he said the college playoff needs to change in 2 years and just take the top 12 and limit it to the $EC and BIG.

What if the ACC top dogs all want out
knapnhokie • 08/04/23 04:18 PM ET
I keep trying to figure out who exactly are the ACC's top dogs

Miami is a national brand, doesn't matter how much they suck on the field
Vienna_Hokie • 08/04/23 06:11 PM ET
Unfortunately they don't buy tickets to Miami's away games or their bowls.
EDGEMAN • 08/04/23 10:15 PM ET
attendance no longer a metric. the future is streaming subscriptions**
realityhokie • 08/05/23 09:00 AM ET
This is the best rivalry post I have ever seen. Well done.**
Hokie`s Advocate • 08/04/23 09:49 PM ET
As I was writing it, I thought, should I embellish....
Vienna_Hokie • 08/04/23 09:59 PM ET
VT football despite recent records is a national brand.
knapnhokie • 08/04/23 07:11 PM ET
We were, but I think that is fading fast if not gone
Vienna_Hokie • 08/04/23 07:37 PM ET
Agree. Based on recent performance. Clemson is big dog. FSU is a poodle
VTBoar • 08/04/23 06:05 PM ET
FSU and Miami are more valuable media properties than anyone...
Vienna_Hokie • 08/04/23 06:15 PM ET
And go where?**
HokieJamie • 08/04/23 05:56 PM ET
It takes 11. ACC has contract look-ins w/ ESPN in

Right About ESPN Deciding ACC Fate
WarHog38 • 08/04/23 06:32 PM ET
Great post. Rare to see logic here. **
SpeakToDamien • 08/04/23 05:18 PM ET
Garbage back-handed slap at the board. Classy.
Maroon Baboon • 08/04/23 05:35 PM ET
I see quite a bit taking place.
HOO86 • 08/04/23 06:11 PM ET
Relax. More that this topic universally, every message board (especially
SpeakToDamien • 08/04/23 05:57 PM ET
Oh? Enlighten us.**

The CFP is fixin' to become the football version of a B1G-SEC Challenge.
Maroon Baboon • 08/04/23 05:03 PM ET
Agree 1000000%.
RonMexicoHokie • 08/04/23 05:12 PM ET
Said exactly the same thing yesterday, we are at peak CFB
Vienna_Hokie • 08/04/23 06:04 PM ET
As a motorsports fan, CART and NASCAR should be red-flags to anyone
run_VT • 08/05/23 12:39 PM ET
there's nothing to negotiate. Nobody has any leverage at all.**
reestuart • 08/04/23 04:54 PM ET
If you are the ACC why negotiate
Mercury • 08/04/23 04:38 PM ET
It’s definitely headed that way…
HydrogenHokie • 08/04/23 04:31 PM ET
Lol. The majority of acc schools are paid market
SpeakToDamien • 08/04/23 05:11 PM ET
What?? who said anything about a conspiracy??
HydrogenHokie • 08/04/23 06:21 PM ET
Market has nothing to do with on field performance, it's media draw
Vienna_Hokie • 08/04/23 06:28 PM ET
Well I agree with that and never said otherwise, but on a national level
HydrogenHokie • 08/04/23 06:43 PM ET
Stop, that's just being pedantic. UNC and Indiana would be a comparison
Vienna_Hokie • 08/04/23 07:49 PM ET
Disagree about VT vs Minn marketability
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/04/23 09:23 PM ET
If you are paid market, you have no options **
SpeakToDamien • 08/04/23 06:23 PM ET
Are you seriously trying to argue that individual brands in the ACC..
HydrogenHokie • 08/04/23 06:38 PM ET
You said "maiority". Fsu,Clemson and Miami
