What's this?

They might not have to pay the whole fees. If there is enough money

at stake with media contracts then they will find a way.

And honestly, the ACC is in a unique position where it might be willing to let a couple of schools leave for cheap. The ACC desperately needs a new tv contract. So if they get a good excuse to negotiate a new one it would be far more valuable than losing a team or two. There are a lot of creative ways that this can actually help multiple conferences financially.

Does the ACC pillage the Big 12 or does the Big 12 try to pillage the ACC? -- Hokie1992 07/22/2021 7:04PM

The B12 isn't pillaging anyone -- EDGEMAN 07/23/2021 08:36AM

You’re asking a LOT of the ACC commissioner. -- YardBird 07/23/2021 8:22PM

Without The Horn's and Sooners the Big 12 is feckless -- sacramento hokie 07/23/2021 12:22PM

And getting paid for 12 when they only had 10 members isn't happening again ** -- EDGEMAN 07/23/2021 12:24PM

Nebraska isn't going back unless the SEC takes TX and not OK. -- EDGEMAN 07/23/2021 10:04AM

Likely true. But if schools are cutting secret deals, people have few -- Hokie1992 07/23/2021 10:06AM

You can bet TX and OK started talking about this several years ago -- EDGEMAN 07/23/2021 10:08AM

Big 12 will break up, ACC could lose 1-2 (Pitt, Cuse, L'ville all options) -- HokieAl 07/22/2021 11:59PM

Sure, any of those four would LOVE to go elsewhere. But who wants them? -- BigDave 07/23/2021 2:57PM

After picking up MDU and Rutsgers, not sure the B1X wants to add another... -- EDGEMAN 07/23/2021 08:40AM

I think you underestimate the desire for more money and power -- HokieAl 07/23/2021 09:18AM

UNC and UVA I agree but you didn't mention them ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 07/23/2021 09:26AM

I know, I just added them. It's an ongoing exploration of options -- HokieAl 07/23/2021 09:31AM

Those schools aren't matching what the SEC is bringing in ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 07/23/2021 05:16AM

Who's going to pay the $50 million exit fee for Pitt, Cuse or L'ville? -- Maroon Baboon 07/23/2021 12:47AM

They might not have to pay the whole fees. If there is enough money -- HokieAl 07/23/2021 09:21AM

Likewise the ACC shouldn’t be throwing WVU a lifeline -- Hokie1992 07/23/2021 05:54AM

Sounds like a pillow fight about to break out between those conferences. ** -- reestuart 07/22/2021 11:28PM

Neither -- VTHokie2000 07/22/2021 8:52PM

Curious...will the Texas ego allow itself to not be the big dog? ** -- Tuckahokie 07/22/2021 7:55PM

They’ve got enough ego to believe that they would ascend to that status. -- RJHokie 07/22/2021 7:59PM

If no Texas or OU, there isn't much there to pillage or be pillaged. -- UEMcGill 07/22/2021 7:22PM

Thinking same thing ... Who would be left worth picking up? -- MaryWashGrad 07/22/2021 7:34PM

WVU would bring several instant rivalries to the ACC, which the ACC ... -- Atlee Hokie 07/23/2021 07:58AM

Can't see doing anything positive for wvu. Eff those inbreds ** -- 40ozDistrict 07/23/2021 09:20AM

WVU vs scUm was a pretty good rivalry as well. Honestly, the ACC NEEDS -- 91HokieBob 07/23/2021 08:40AM

Nah, their billionaire is dead. No T. Boone, no relevance. ** -- UEMcGill 07/22/2021 8:06PM

Well they kicked our butt in 2017. Would be a worthy addition. ** -- seekoHoG 07/22/2021 8:10PM

Hardly a butt kicking. We should have won that game. ** -- GCHokieof91 07/22/2021 8:28PM

Woulda coulda but didn’t….. PERIOD ** -- Hokie535 07/23/2021 08:21AM

But NOT a butt kicking. Let’s tell it like it is. ** -- GCHokieof91 07/23/2021 12:17PM

Yea, really! Not a good look talking down to teams you couldn't beat ** -- OldRetiredHokie 07/23/2021 08:45AM

We blew that game early, on the inability to do a QB sneak from the 1. -- UEMcGill 07/22/2021 8:51PM

Heck Kansas beat Tech in Orange Bowl ... -- MaryWashGrad 07/22/2021 8:17PM

Great for hoops ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 07/23/2021 05:17AM

That won't work. Who would supply us with transfers in that scenario? ** -- Tombo 07/22/2021 11:41PM
