It isn't that simple


Yesterday was not a bad day for the ACC. The B1G reset the market value for college sports.

It was however a tough day for the Big 12 and the PAC, neither of which has an easy way out of its current dilemma. They are stuck miles behind the B1G. The PAC would have to sell out part of its network. The Big 12 would need UT to become something other than what it is.

You are correct, the ACC/VT needs a MUCH better media deal but it at least has the opportunity to get it. Even with Swofford involved, that it still a better situation than the other 2.

If either the B1G or SEC wanted VT right now, it would have renegotiate its conference media deal; and the cost for VT to join the B1G would be extraordinary because of the network buy-in. That also ignores the GoR resolution and dis-association with UVA. The SEC would pay more but VT would also have to cut sports or find new homes for some of its programs, and men's basketball would vanish.
