If it’s going to happen, might as well add WSU/OSU

If they accept at a rate below Stan/Cal. $120 mil > $72 mil Create scheduling pods for all sports (or all but football depending on ND’s cooperation): Pod 1 Miami, FSU, GT, Clemson, SMU Pod 2 UNC, Duke, NC ST, Wake, UVA Pod 3 VT, Pitt, BC, Syracuse, Louisville Pod 4 Stanford, Cal, Ore St, Wash St, ND ** Edited by Freighttrain at 8/23/2023, 11:12:04 PM

Thamel: Cal, Stanford, SMU under serious consideration by ACC (link).

Typical of the ACC to react instead of leading the way.

Flip SMU / VT and sign me up**

The All Coast Conference...sort of**
Tuckahokie • 08/23/23 06:21 PM ET
My guess is that small group of Presidents didn’t include NC, NCST, FSU, CU
WBGV • 08/23/23 05:48 PM ET
Likely not to happen I know, but leaves a spot for ND to get to 18.**
VTBoar • 08/23/23 04:44 PM ET
There's always a spot for ND. Even if we go to 24.
Maroon Baboon • 08/23/23 06:45 PM ET
Will these additions change the TV contract? Does this effect the GOR? **
132863Hokie • 08/23/23 04:20 PM ET
No effect on the GOR**
xx97 • 08/23/23 05:14 PM ET
I suspect they would all have to son GOR.
HokieDelNorte • 08/23/23 05:45 PM ET
despite the abundance of wishful thinking, the GOR won't be affected
ren_hoek • 08/23/23 04:29 PM ET
Ross Dellinger, Yahoo Sports reporting $72 million more to ACC.
HOO86 • 08/23/23 06:46 PM ET
ESPN was prepared to pay for the PAC12
HOO86 • 08/23/23 04:53 PM ET
No. The GOR is between each school and the ACC
HOO86 • 08/23/23 04:23 PM ET
Thanks.**
132863Hokie • 08/23/23 04:31 PM ET
Feels like they are going to make it happen
HokieAl • 08/23/23 04:09 PM ET
pissing off FSU is the icing on the cake 😂**
MrBayAreaHokie • 08/23/23 05:38 PM ET
FSU will get opportunity to make more.
HokieDelNorte • 08/23/23 05:47 PM ET
More and more it looks like some serious $$$ are being put
VTCALS72 • 08/23/23 05:09 PM ET
I think it helps buy time until 2036. Who knows what the landscape will
IB4TECH • 08/23/23 08:49 PM ET
If they are accepted, it will be a unanimous vote. **
Big12 guy • 08/23/23 05:02 PM ET
This Just Makes the ACC Dissolution Vote Even a Lesser Possibility
WarHog38 • 08/23/23 04:55 PM ET
Ain't happenin' anyway. FSU and Clemson might as well just go along with
Maroon Baboon • 08/23/23 06:51 PM ET
Hopefully they can work on a deal that gets all 15 votes.
HOO86 • 08/23/23 04:22 PM ET
FSU should not get more money than the rest of the ACC members for this! **
Lakeridgehokie • 08/23/23 05:21 PM ET
If they make it Performance Based, then FSU will have to earn it.
HOO86 • 08/23/23 06:14 PM ET
Well if becomes a fait accompli I would hope that even FSU would have the
Vippie1 • 08/23/23 04:32 PM ET
Why does The ACC want this? Is the added money enough to solve
33laszlo99 • 08/23/23 05:04 PM ET
Solves nothing, just makes reacting to the future harder
Vienna_Hokie • 08/23/23 06:04 PM ET
Thamel has th inside track, I’m thinking th same, if so devil is in details
Stech • 08/23/23 04:19 PM ET
VT voting yes for this nonsense is sad...and shows where we are in the ..
tcc_dc • 08/23/23 04:08 PM ET
Given that our administrators and many in fan base just aren't tough enough
TDVick • 08/24/23 03:51 AM ET
If it gets VT an extra $5-10 million a year then it’s worth it
HokieAl • 08/23/23 04:14 PM ET
It won't be that much**
xx97 • 08/23/23 05:18 PM ET
Oh you know this how?**
