They are in 3rd place when it comes to per school payout. -- chuckd4vt 10/21/2016 12:14PM
Then what is everyone in the B12 worried - like the ISU AD? -- Mr. Touchdown 10/22/2016 6:44PM
For as bad a shape as the Big12 is in, it still earns more than the ACC. -- chuckd4vt 10/22/2016 7:53PM
Actually, it does mean that it is economically inviable -- daveinop 10/23/2016 12:39PM
No way. They had nowhere to expand, even w/ Nebraska, Colorado, and A&M. -- chuckd4vt 10/23/2016 3:12PM
So you no longer blame ACC leadership for losing Maryland? ** -- daveinop 10/24/2016 07:34AM
This pretty much sums up in a nutshell what happened and the -- RJHokie 10/23/2016 12:45PM
NO it is not always about money and if it was -- Maroon Doom 10/22/2016 2:20PM
Link? -- daveinop 10/22/2016 11:56AM
Not spending an hour on that. Pretty evident to all, including IowaSt. AD. -- chuckd4vt 10/22/2016 12:03PM
T/F. WVU would cancel its Tier 3 deal today if it received an ACC invite ** -- daveinop 10/22/2016 12:10PM
Most certainly. However, the Big12 leadership has that doomed league.... -- chuckd4vt 10/22/2016 4:34PM
Know why the Big12 minus 2 is making more per school than ACC? -- Atlee Hokie 10/26/2016 07:52AM
For now, true. But they won't get that sweetheart deal again.... -- Freddyburg Hokie 10/24/2016 3:09PM
Change "Leadership" to "Media Negotiators", and I'll agree. ** -- Late 80s Hokie 10/24/2016 1:06PM
Ummm, B12 dismantled a mega conference; ACC built one. Spin away... ** -- daveinop 10/23/2016 10:10AM
Nope. ACC had easy pickings w/ the Big East. Big12 didn't. -- chuckd4vt 10/23/2016 2:47PM
How about Nebraska, Texas A&M, Colorado and Missouri -- Maroon Doom 10/22/2016 5:37PM
So disallow networks to lump content into an underpaying contract? -- chuckd4vt 10/23/2016 01:09AM
I agree with part of what you are saying. ACC leadership (?) sucks. -- Atlee Hokie 10/26/2016 08:02AM
How is that luck? The network could have EASILY paid less. -- chuckd4vt 10/26/2016 2:25PM
More rationalizing to support a delusional view. ** -- marcbvtgm 10/22/2016 5:05PM
Hip shot. if it is all about money and the Big 12 pays more, then why -- daveinop 10/22/2016 12:06PM
The map did them in. That's it. Shoulda never been close w/ the ACC. -- chuckd4vt 10/22/2016 4:39PM
For now. Their current payout comes from a fortuitous turn of events.... -- Freddyburg Hokie 10/21/2016 2:03PM
What? So how come the ACC can't shake down networks in such a way? -- chuckd4vt 10/21/2016 6:38PM
You're absolutely right. It also helped them that they had some really good -- Freddyburg Hokie 10/22/2016 7:46PM
Big 12 is no longer a P5 confefrence -- 33laszlo99 10/23/2016 1:18PM
Wrong. Big12 schools earn more from Playoffs & BCS than ACC schools now. -- chuckd4vt 10/23/2016 3:20PM
Problem is the ACC leadership signed a very LONG contract when we sucked. -- chuckd4vt 10/22/2016 8:22PM
They may not have had the leverage to sign a 5 year deal... -- Freddyburg Hokie 10/24/2016 3:06PM
No, the problem back then was Swofford was in charge. -- Atlee Hokie 10/26/2016 08:17AM
A decent negotiator would have given them leverage. -- chuckd4vt 10/24/2016 11:42PM
You are correct in this assessment. Swofford screwed up. -- Atlee Hokie 10/26/2016 08:24AM
