What's this?

Ed O'Bannon started the NIL movement, not DC

That was 8 years ago. Stipends are determined by location and cost of living, not DC. State politics probably play a bigger role in college athletics than federal politics.

I realize that Stech won't change his views on DC and that's fine with me. I just feel that the ACC has a revenue gap problem due to its lack of large state universities and football first schools. It's no secret that the B1G and SEC would love to pick off the ACC's large state universities. You don't hear the SEC or B1G wanting to invite BC, Wake or Syracuse. That's why I feel that FSU, Georgia Tech, Clemson, UNC, NC State, UVA and Virginia Tech will be fine "if" the ACC ever implodes. I feel that Miami and Duke (mainly because of their rich basketball tradition) will find a spot too. Louisville, Syracuse and Pitt will be on edge. Wake and BC are in trouble.

I don't really care where the ACC headquarters is located. Heck, the A-10's headquarters are in Newport News. If I were in charge of the ACC, Charlotte would seem like the logical location. I have no problem if the ACC headquarters were in Chantilly or Alexandria, but I feel that placing the headquarters there would be more for show than anything else. The other four Power 5 conferences would still have their lobbyists there 24/7. I also don't understand why some feel that placing the ACC headquarters in Charlotte isn't forward thinking and 'living in the past'. I would ask those same people why tens of millions of Northeasterners and Midwesterners have moved South in the past 50 years to relocate their businesses or find better jobs.

It's always been about money (greed) and fear. -- Old Line Hokie 03/27/2022 06:59AM

Id agree and it wont stop until some tax law change makes all that revenue -- anotherdamnyankeehokie 03/27/2022 08:01AM

Which is why the ACC office should be in Washington DC. ** -- Stech 03/27/2022 3:12PM

I concur, it could only help ** -- anotherdamnyankeehokie 03/28/2022 07:41AM

I'm sure the other P-5 conferences will have lobbyists in DC. -- Old Line Hokie 03/28/2022 11:13AM

Like it or not, we have to face it, Washington DC will decide the future, -- Stech 03/27/2022 7:45PM

That has nothing to do with headquarters location. -- Old Line Hokie 03/28/2022 7:48PM

Has everything to do with where College Football is going, why do you think -- Stech 03/28/2022 8:34PM

Those issues affect all D-1 schools, not just the P-5 -- Old Line Hokie 03/28/2022 11:42PM

Yes I believe ..... -- 2hhoop3 03/26/2022 3:13PM

You didn’t prove your premise, you just restated your opinion. -- Stech 03/26/2022 10:29PM

There was no premise...... -- 2hhoop3 03/26/2022 10:31PM

Nope, that’s what you are doing, no wonder you believe the premise. ** -- Stech 03/26/2022 10:41PM

Readers can easily......... -- 2hhoop3 03/26/2022 10:50PM

Fine with me, but you still haven’t proven it was just a diversion. -- Stech 03/26/2022 11:11PM

Not how it works..... -- 2hhoop3 03/26/2022 11:18PM

LOL, you really think you get to set the terms, not with me you don’t. -- Stech 03/26/2022 11:38PM

Not setting terms with you...... -- 2hhoop3 03/26/2022 11:45PM
