Very true that this has been fun

And I could suggest why stealing from the ACC could help ESPN. But that comes with a lot of assumptions and speculation.

I hear you about sticking with what we know for now. We can all adjust our guesses as more info rolls in. I need to pace myself because I’ve been really enjoying all this and fascinated by all the angles and strategic possibilities.

Houston to the ACC would be like WVU to the B12. -- Atlee Hokie 08/01/2021 11:55AM

Houston is a 3 hour flight from Richmond -- HOO86 08/01/2021 1:28PM

Cincinnati might be desirable because ESPN is not there, ESPN has Texas, -- Stech 08/01/2021 1:54PM

True. And Cincinnati is easy travel like Louisville. -- HOO86 08/01/2021 1:59PM

West Virginia though it’s smaller would be a new state too if ND won’t move -- Stech 08/01/2021 2:10PM

WVU and Cincinnati would fill in our map pretty well. -- HOO86 08/01/2021 2:38PM

Yeah could easily take Notre Dame and Navy latter again getting new states -- Stech 08/01/2021 3:35PM

Good article but doesn't address the academic side of the equation. Clearly -- 501 08/01/2021 10:35AM

Don’t know why we would want Cincinnati. Wasn’t too long ago -- dobrohokie 07/31/2021 8:05PM

Look at their recent progress. Preseason top ten in at least one poll. -- wwhokie1 07/31/2021 10:12PM

Problem is can they sustain that -- VaTechHokiesACC 08/01/2021 01:40AM

Put them in a good conference like the ACC and maybe he stays. ** -- wwhokie1 08/01/2021 5:25PM

Thought the age of the cable subscriber model has passed? ** -- EDGEMAN 07/31/2021 6:06PM

The ACC still has a linear network to sell. -- HOO86 07/31/2021 6:12PM

It is a good summary of the numbers. And shows the risk of ACC poaching -- HokieAl 07/31/2021 4:51PM

I’m not sure that per subscriber model really pans out. Seem to remember -- JohnsonCItyHokie 07/31/2021 5:57PM

The flaw is -- daveinop 07/31/2021 5:11PM

Not just FSU no. But them plus OU, UT, Clemson and yes the value goes up -- HokieAl 07/31/2021 5:29PM

UT and OU, yes. Clemson and FSU, no. -- daveinop 07/31/2021 5:42PM

"easiest" big move would be to merge the ACC and SEC -- daveinop 07/31/2021 7:06PM

Jay Bilas has been suggesting this. -- HOO86 07/31/2021 7:12PM

A merger would be interesting. I can easily see 24 teams -- HokieAl 07/31/2021 8:14PM

I'd love to see VT in a better place tomorrow; but this -- daveinop 07/31/2021 6:52PM

Still got to pay the exit fees too. ** -- RJHokie 07/31/2021 5:05PM

The higher the SEC & B1G go, additions get harder. -- HOO86 07/31/2021 4:49PM

YEP B10 and SEC have almost priced themselves out of the expansion business ** -- wwhokie1 07/31/2021 10:15PM

Yep and that is the big risk for everyone else. It's crunch time -- HokieAl 07/31/2021 4:58PM
