Agree. I just don't think ESPN has much leverage

with the ACC re: scheduling, etc.

They obviously have no control or it would already be better.

And I don't think they can get away with telling the ACC, "your current content isn't worth any more than what you are currently getting; oh, and we aren't going to pay you more even if you upgrade the content."

Especially if they revise the SEC contract to compensate them more for higher value content.

With the impending announcement of the Alliance, is there any reason for -- JKHokie-RunFor32 08/24/2021 08:22AM

We should unless we work the Big 12 into the Alliance somehow -- Truthahn 08/24/2021 2:14PM

Might be hard while ESPN holds our leash -- HokieAl 08/24/2021 11:16AM

How much is it worth to ESPN to have exclusive rights to an expanded CFP -- daveinop 08/24/2021 11:37AM

I think the odds of ESPN getting exclusive CFP are slim at this point -- HokieAl 08/24/2021 11:46AM

Agree. I just don't think ESPN has much leverage -- daveinop 08/24/2021 12:20PM

The only reason would be if it increased ACC revenue payout. No conference -- HokieToph 08/24/2021 10:42AM

I would like to see that happen -- Victor Tango 08/24/2021 10:24AM

Actually might however -- Mercury 08/24/2021 09:38AM

Only if ND joins the ACC. No reason to add anyone for any other reason... -- EDGEMAN 08/24/2021 09:28AM

We should go to single table -- Truthahn 08/24/2021 2:17PM

I'm only ok with this if it means getting BC off our annual schedule -- BUGGZY 08/24/2021 09:17AM

Im sorry most of vt is northern va and going to bc is grear -- Mercury 08/24/2021 09:41AM

Doubt the impending announcement tells us much we don't already know. And -- wwhokie1 08/24/2021 09:16AM

Might as well. We'll be in an Alliance with 39 other schools. -- Zanderhokie 08/24/2021 09:05AM
