Why would Big 12 schools want to join the ACC just before the ACC's GOR

Runs out? Because as it looks now, when the ACC's GOR runs out, there's going to be a number of schools leaving. The Big 12 schools will choose the stability of the Big 12 over the unknown of what happens to the ACC. I've seen a number of West Virginia fans stating that they would not want to accept an ACC offer if they had the option to join right now. They like the stability of the big 12. No one wants to leave the Big 12 and have to turn around a few years later and crawl back. ** Edited by wwhokie1 at 8/10/2023, 5:45:40 PM

For the umpteenth time we can’t take big 12 teams they are ina. GOR!!!!**
HokieJamie • 08/10/23 09:13 PM ET
Even if they weren't in a GOR I don't think it would be an option
xx97 • 08/10/23 09:16 PM ET
That’s why serious negotiations are happening

I don't consider becoming the new G5 a bright future, but your point stands**

It's not relative to the SEC and B1G. It's relative to everyone else**

The ACC is screwed then because no B12 schools are leaving for the ACC**
xx97 • 08/10/23 09:09 PM ET
Why not? If the ACC can offer more money, which they should
HokiePail • 08/10/23 09:14 PM ET
ACC is unstable and can't offer more money

Don't believe the Big 12 is better in basketball. They re
HokiePail • 08/10/23 09:22 PM ET
No, the B12 is the best basketball conference in the country

Big12 guy • 08/10/23 08:54 PM ET
You keep saying the ACC "didn't want" all these schools
cburgroop • 08/11/23 06:33 AM ET
Then why do some want them now? **
Big12 guy • 08/11/23 08:16 AM ET
The ACC likely would’ve taken some of them if the $$$ was there
cburgroop • 08/11/23 12:06 PM ET
So the money is different now? it goes to the bigger picture. You guys
Big12 guy • 08/11/23 12:27 PM ET
ACC’s leadership has always been doomed to fail.
hokieZ71 • 08/10/23 07:24 PM ET
Well, we had Texas, so i get it. **
Big12 guy • 08/10/23 08:56 PM ET
Even if the ACC could cherry pick the B12 in 2031, still won't be enough.

The ACC is screwed without a new TV deal closing the financial gap, and

I don't think it is anything more than a remote possibility
VTCALS72 • 08/10/23 06:22 PM ET
I think the non P2 will most definitely compete. Not many out here
Big12 guy • 08/10/23 07:29 PM ET
To me it is all about the exposure and promotion of the unaligned
VTCALS72 • 08/10/23 07:52 PM ET
The Texas and USC moves were announced before they finally
Big12 guy • 08/10/23 08:25 PM ET
My reasoning, the P2 won't share any playoff $$$
VTCALS72 • 08/10/23 08:45 PM ET
That will be the nail in the coffin, and we will have a different league. **
Big12 guy • 08/11/23 08:17 AM ET
Agree but that is what I see coming and has been the plan all along**
VTCALS72 • 08/11/23 08:28 AM ET
There will always be college football on. i'll watch the MAC - those

I don't think Colorado really "wanted" to return to the B12

Colorado left because of Texas and the instability in the conference when
