Spent few hrs sitting next to big time Tx alum $ giver -- HOKIEGOBBLE 09/30/2016 7:55PM
I'll add one more very important point -- CobbCountyHokie 09/30/2016 12:22PM
But Texas in ACC = death of B12 -- BigCrumpy 09/30/2016 3:16PM
ITs always about timing: Think strategically not tactically -- Mercury 09/30/2016 3:26PM
IF they are talking to other conferences -- Calamitous 09/30/2016 12:07PM
IMO Texas has always had a Pac whatever bias -- BigCrumpy 09/30/2016 3:19PM
Could you provide one factual reason to leads you to this belief? ** -- marcbvtgm 10/02/2016 7:02PM
It doesn't show up in the record. -- HOO86 09/30/2016 4:45PM
I think Texas has 2 options and neither of them are spelled SEC -- CobbCountyHokie 09/30/2016 09:22AM
Texas will take the best offer.. -- Old Line Hokie 09/30/2016 3:18PM
If the SEC ended up looking like this -- VTHokie2000 09/30/2016 3:56PM
TCU won WAC and MWC that much with very few watching. -- HOO86 09/30/2016 3:43PM
There's a simple solution. Keep the LHN for Texas home games... -- chuckd4vt 09/30/2016 11:30AM
I am not a Liberty Law Grad...but I'll respond -- CobbCountyHokie 09/30/2016 12:17PM
ESPN could keep it as an ACC Network for Texas -- HOO86 09/30/2016 2:01PM
If the LHN goes down in flames, then Texas will just use "Remember the LHN" -- VTHokie2000 09/30/2016 1:57PM
Agreed. LHN owns tier 3 home games, everything else is up for grabs. -- chuckd4vt 09/30/2016 1:32PM
Would BTN feel the same about losing conference games -- daveinop 09/30/2016 9:15PM
Trade off for Texas' tier 1 content would be WELL worth it. -- chuckd4vt 10/01/2016 4:52PM
IIRC, you said all the Big 12 had to do to expand was make a couple calls. ** -- daveinop 10/02/2016 09:27AM
Pretty much. YOu think it would take much more for ECU or Cinncy? -- chuckd4vt 10/02/2016 5:53PM
Re: Agreed. LHN owns tier 3 home games, everything else is up for grabs. -- SoCloseHokie 09/30/2016 1:52PM
Because it wants to increase the number of Cali students attend -- VTHokie2000 09/30/2016 2:08PM
Texas already schedules Cali games. -- HOO86 09/30/2016 2:12PM
Who does Texas routinely schedule on the east coast? -- Calamitous 09/30/2016 2:19PM
Right now it's West Virginia. -- HOO86 09/30/2016 2:53PM
By going to the Pac-16, Texas ensures itself that it will be top dog -- VTHokie2000 09/30/2016 3:00PM
Texas A&M then becomes top dog in Texas. -- HOO86 09/30/2016 3:05PM
UT will be top dog in Texas no matter what P4(5) conference they join -- Calamitous 09/30/2016 5:38PM
Texas goes to PAC12, then SEC dominates the state. -- HOO86 10/01/2016 12:01PM
I would not assume that Texas remains the top dog in the state -- VTHokie2000 09/30/2016 3:46PM
ACC or B1G put it on even footing with Texas A&M in SEC. -- HOO86 09/30/2016 3:57PM
Disagree. During football season TAMU has more opportunities -- VTHokie2000 09/30/2016 4:12PM
I was talking about all sports, not just football ** -- VTHokie2000 09/30/2016 2:14PM
Same thing. Schedule Cali games. No Washington, Oregon, Colorado, etc. ** -- HOO86 09/30/2016 2:16PM
There are some sports that it appears Texas will routinely schedule -- VTHokie2000 09/30/2016 2:53PM
They haven't been over the years. -- HOO86 09/30/2016 2:59PM
Texas may come to the ACC. Not as confident with Oklahoma. -- HOO86 09/30/2016 09:51AM
Just look who is being cryptic on expansion and following texas lead -- Mercury 09/30/2016 12:11PM
Texas opting for the ACC over the B1G seems highly unlikely... -- lawhokie 09/30/2016 11:02AM
No no no no -- Chicago Maroon 09/30/2016 12:34PM
Plus, no one else is likely to offer any concessions... -- Mr. Touchdown 10/03/2016 2:17PM
Spot on! ** -- Calamitous 09/30/2016 2:22PM
Rephrase Texas taking ACC over Pac 12 is unlikely ** -- BigCrumpy 09/30/2016 11:33AM
Yep, they aren't going west, & the SEC wants nothing to do w/ them... -- BROman Hokie 09/30/2016 12:10PM
Re: Texas opting for the ACC over the B1G seems highly unlikely... -- SoCloseHokie 09/30/2016 11:05AM
Re: Texas may come to the ACC. Not as confident with Oklahoma. -- SoCloseHokie 09/30/2016 10:01AM
Isn't happening. Buy a map. -- chuckd4vt 09/30/2016 12:32AM
They would bring others, map solved, Fox has B1G and PAC, ESPN wants Texas -- Stech 09/30/2016 07:37AM
Not entirely accurate -- ren_hoek 09/30/2016 06:51AM
Everyone needs to read the post..very revealing on a key factor in CRA, -- Stech 09/30/2016 07:23AM
Texas football has games scheduled THIS YR on ABC, ESPN, LHN, FS1, and Fox. -- chuckd4vt 09/30/2016 11:36AM
ABC, ESPN, and LHN are the same thing! Fox/FS1 -- CobbCountyHokie 09/30/2016 12:28PM
Exactly. Nothing forbidding Texas from doing business w/ Fox or anyone else -- chuckd4vt 09/30/2016 1:36PM
Apples/gumbo. ND required no workaround. -- daveinop 10/01/2016 09:12AM
You're right. Getting Texas' Tier 1 bball and fball games isn't worth it. -- chuckd4vt 10/01/2016 5:47PM
Explain how ESPN and Fox both win and I'm on board. Otherwise... ** -- daveinop 10/02/2016 12:24PM
Fox gets Texas Tier 1 content and ESPN keeps tier 3. -- chuckd4vt 10/02/2016 2:33PM
"please don't misinform the board" said the guy who said...lol -- daveinop 10/02/2016 3:06PM
Thanks for making my point. Coll. TV rights are spread all over the place. -- chuckd4vt 10/02/2016 6:01PM
And ya know what seems to simplify negotiations? Dealing in Raycom. -- chuckd4vt 10/01/2016 6:19PM
Texas can't do anything with Fox. The Big XII can. ** -- HOO86 09/30/2016 2:03PM
Which means there's nothing forbidding the B1G from doing so as well. -- chuckd4vt 10/01/2016 2:11PM
LHN contract is explicit -- HOO86 09/30/2016 12:05PM
That's a game changer if true. So Texas agreed to that? -- chuckd4vt 09/30/2016 1:38PM
It's only a game changer for you. -- daveinop 09/30/2016 9:26PM
Then explain why Texas is playing games on Fox and FS1 this season. -- chuckd4vt 10/01/2016 4:40PM
The weakness in your scenario is that Texas "provides" no games...zero. -- daveinop 10/02/2016 12:37PM
Big12 TV contract hasn't stopped other teams from leaving. -- chuckd4vt 10/02/2016 8:06PM
No. But ESPN has rights to all broadcasts. -- HOO86 09/30/2016 2:07PM
Not true. Texas hosts TCU Nov. 25 on Fox/FS1. -- chuckd4vt 09/30/2016 9:35PM
Texas can join a conference ONLY if -- daveinop 10/01/2016 08:57AM
Do you REALLY think Fox, the B1GN, or Pac12N would not want Texas content? -- chuckd4vt 10/01/2016 2:07PM
Of course they would. but the numbers have to work. ** -- daveinop 10/02/2016 2:44PM
The network issue is an important point. -- HOO86 09/30/2016 10:31AM
Re: Isn't happening. Buy a map. -- SoCloseHokie 09/30/2016 06:16AM
PAC12 seems like a good spot for them. ** -- VT ChemE 1986 09/30/2016 12:55AM
Re: Anyone think Texas and ACC are talking right now? -- Stech 09/29/2016 11:03PM
About what? Any chance Texas joins? ** -- VT ChemE 1986 09/30/2016 12:53AM
Re: About what? Any chance Texas joins? -- Stech 09/30/2016 07:25AM
Re: About what? Any chance Texas joins? -- SoCloseHokie 09/30/2016 06:26AM
I'm sure we would answer the phone, but still think.... -- EDGEMAN 09/29/2016 6:59PM
Not about UTex coming to ACC. ** -- seekoHoG 09/29/2016 7:00PM
