Wall Street Journal ranks College 🏈 Brands last wk ACC VT 22 FSU 25 NCSU38
UNC 39 and Miami 40. I know some of you think that you know more about the financial values than the Wall Street Journal, but you don’t. 🀣🀣 They use financial formulas instead of opinion. 🀣 Seriously, when they talk, you should listen. πŸ‘‚ PS Thanks to Cunningfam pulling it off the subscription article. Edit: I forgot Clemson at 27 ** Edited by Stech at 1/30/2025, 5:28:15 PM

Tell ESPN to listen to that.
I would say they are looking at a whole different set of values to assign a worth. I am guessing this model is way more heavily weighted to the things VT does best, attendance, gameday etc. where ESPNs is TV viewers. And BTW there was another of these that had VT at somewhere in the 50s. So which is right.

there's a reason clemsFsu "demanded" ND on their schedules....
VT would be wise to start pushing for the best TV (time, day and network) placement IF TV/media ratings are the measurement.

VT has played Clemson 7 times in 18 years since joining the ACC
...in the regular season (multiple ACC Championship Game showdowns). These are the changes that will benefit everyone in the ACC. Even if VT loses to Clemson every other year, it builds the ACC and VT β€œbrand” long-term. Same with Notre Dame, FSU, and Miami. Look at Penn State. They’ve benefited for 25 years by playing (and losing to) Ohio State and Michigan. Now they are on the literal cusp. Penn State is our model. And our coach knows a little about that. (Ditto South Carolina) VT BABY!!!

WSJ looks at TV ratings, they are financial journal, the TV $ is number 1.
