What's this?

I know, I just added them. It's an ongoing exploration of options

My initial approach was to look at schools that easily fit within the current geographic footprint of the Big Ten.

If they wanted to go beyond that, only then would other options like UNC and UVA be available. That's the intent here, to walk through various options that might be floated. This round could potentially be a massive shakeup in the conferences. All depends on whether the other P5 conferences sit still or react aggressively.

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

As a new conference reshuffling begins, the important advice is -- Hokie1992 07/23/2021 10:01AM

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

Hear the lamentations of the women as the repetitive "Boomer Sooner" plays.** -- KCHokie2 07/22/2021 9:32PM

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
