What's this?

I've said this before..does the ACC really want Texas?

They've been the root cause of two conference break ups. One that has occurred (Southwest) and one that is in progress (not so Big 12-2). Is there enough room in the same conference with the Tobacco Road egos and Texas too. It doesn't take into consideration the egos of FSU and CU.

Texas single handedly destroyed the SW Conference driving off Arkansas and leaving Houston, TCU and Baylor to pick up the pieces. Now, the same thing is occurring in the Big 12-2. Colorado, Missouri, TX A&M, and potentially others all left because of UT greed and the Longhorn Network.

Hope the ACC leadership can see this. Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Still quite doggish on the ACC, especially until new leadership arrives. -- chuckd4vt 05/11/2016 11:08AM

Maryland's exit set a precedent. B1G stepped up and helped a ton. -- chuckd4vt 05/11/2016 3:19PM

Maryland is not receiving a full share yet. -- Maroon Doom 05/11/2016 3:42PM

Their revenue increased by $13 mill first year w/ only a partial share. -- chuckd4vt 05/11/2016 5:24PM

You stated: -- dallasvt 05/11/2016 7:45PM

So say it takes 3 years instead of 2 years to pay for the ACC buyout. -- chuckd4vt 05/12/2016 1:26PM

I thought Maryland left before the GoR took effect? -- VTHokie2000 05/11/2016 3:26PM

Just saying it didn't cost them $50 million and a GOR won't totally hold up -- chuckd4vt 05/11/2016 5:26PM

ACC gets a channel and the Big 12 doesn't, that's trouble for Big 12. -- Stech 05/11/2016 12:24PM

The B12 already has a channel, but Big TX is hogging all of the profits. -- EDGEMAN 05/11/2016 4:32PM

As always, the B12 will last (as a major conference) as long as Texas wants** -- Tailgate Guru 05/11/2016 08:47AM

WRT to the SWC, is Texas truly to blame for the end of that conference? -- VTHokie2000 05/11/2016 10:39AM

The SEC adding USC/ARK and starting a Championship Game had big impact. -- HOO86 05/11/2016 11:01AM

An ACC w/ ND, UNC, & 6 or 8 other schools w/ options is not Big12 or SWC -- marcbvtgm 05/11/2016 08:27AM

The ACC would not fall apart due to the addition of Texas... -- lawhokie 05/11/2016 07:44AM

It wouldn't be my first choice, but it fits the ACC profile... -- lawhokie 05/11/2016 8:52PM

Could that be the ACC's M.O.? -- VTHokie2000 05/11/2016 12:48PM

The last thing the ACC needs is more private schools. -- EDGEMAN 05/11/2016 4:34PM
