The loss of Maryland should have been a wakeup call for everybody


Charter member of the ACC bolts and we still have many people that appear to be complacent with the current state of the ACC.

We may not know all of the numbers here but somebody at Georgia Tech, for example, does.

The reason I believe the ACC is at at least some risk is because there are so many ways something could go wrong. What if the lure of conference money is too much for GT and they also bolt for the research U heaven of the B1G? What if the SEC finally decides it needs two Florida schools? The GOR is a legal obstacle, but the mere announcement of another school leaving could cause a mass exodus.

The revenue disparity makes me worry and I really hope we hear good news soon. We cannot ask Hokie alumni to make up a $5-10 million difference in conference revenue every year.
