My firsrt edict as ESPN college football head
I pay for games I make the schedule
Miami you play VT or ACC gets less money.
I tell Phillips. Miami plays VT
UNC plays VT
Clemson plays UNC
Clemson plays VT
Clemson plays Florida State
every year
Duke and Wake and BC get les primetime games. ACC can divide the money however they choose
Market Dynamics. Field a quality product. Sell that product to your customers (fans) or get less games and ultimately less revenue.
This is the not the Atlantic Communist Conference. You produce or you don't get games, paid. etc.
No more I-AA games. No more than one G5 game.
Max games between SEC and ACC big brands
Tennn vs VT at Brstol 2
UNC vs SC
Florida vs Miami
Alabma vs FSU
Clemson vs. Georgia
LSU vs Virginia
NC State vs Texas

We all left VT on Sunday in a large caravan & traveled to Bristol, Tenn. We spent the whole week together. Had a great time doing stuff in Bristol, VA/TN.
But we wouldn't do it again.

Agreed. It's also why the ACC hasn't been picked apart yet.
It is a double edged sword for sure. Some part of the problem was self inflicted, some was bad timing, others are just plain bad luck. One question I will always have is whether or not the ACC knew they had a choice between guaranteed stability but with a lower payout or being left vulnerable to being the hunted. Human nature almost always chooses safety over risk.

Of course a repeat of LSU at VT would cause collective heart attacks for Tech's admin and blacksburg's admin.
1st LSU happened before the VT admin knew what was happening. Not sure how it would go over for the traveling LSU horde the second time around.. Tech has relatively limited number of RV parking sites, and a relatively lot opening time.

I mean, you couldn't really come up with a worst rotation of games for VT these last 15 years. They stuck us with BC for some reason. The teams in our division don't sell tickets in their home stadiums, much less in Lane. Now, they stuck us with UVA, Wake, and Pitt? screw them. They are doing everything they can to kill off VT Football. Quality schedules is a premo donation and ticket sales driver.
And to think, VT Football carried these bums for several years.

Like, we will literally NOT have a chance at a title. If we ever do get a Corey Moore or Mike Vick, or even a drunkenmiller, they're gonna bolt after the first break out season to a league that will pay them. I wouldn't blame them either.
The gap cannot be overcome soon. Some teams have overcome it recently, but that number is about to be zero once the B1G and SEC start paying. Like legit paying these kids.
