Even their private schools are better at football than the ACC's.

ACC's membership makeup just wasn't made to be a football first conference. All the other P-5 conferences are loaded with large state universities. That is the magic formula, not a mix of private and state universities. There's not much that can be done about it unless all the ACC private schools play football like pre-ACC Miami.

All those schools would easily be top half of the ACC in football. -- Old Line Hokie 09/10/2021 2:50PM

Have to disagree. If you take out Clemson, both conferences are... -- EDGEMAN 09/10/2021 9:40PM

True, but the ACC still has Clemson. ** -- Old Line Hokie 09/10/2021 10:20PM

Outside of Clemson that's a clearly better FB conference than the ACC -- LonghornHokie 09/10/2021 9:19PM

I wonder if the Sugar Bowl stays with their B12-SEC match-up going forward ** -- BROman Hokie 09/10/2021 12:54PM

Certainly through 2025 -- HOO86 09/10/2021 8:42PM

Estimates I've heard will have them in the ballpark of ACC & Pac money. ** -- tarheelblue 09/10/2021 1:19PM

Heard from where? ESPN? Who is saying that & paying that? ** -- Stech 09/11/2021 06:28AM

The problem is content -- Mercury 09/11/2021 08:17AM

Correct. I read possibly 25M plus 3rd tier rights. If true, good for them. ** -- Hokie_CLT 09/10/2021 1:58PM

I think that's total disbursements though. Not media rights. Still good -- ChrisLords 09/11/2021 06:16AM

From one of the reports the figure did nit include -- goldendomer 09/11/2021 08:54AM

Four good stable conferences not named the SEC is not a bad thing. ** -- IB4TECH 09/10/2021 6:20PM

Definitely a tweener conference at minimum. They are in a good spot -- goldendomer 09/10/2021 11:47AM

Agree. Lot of parity in new Big 12 which rest of NCAA could benefit from. -- Hokester 09/10/2021 11:24PM

B1G built parity into their schedules years ago. -- Truthahn 09/13/2021 8:59PM

Even their private schools are better at football than the ACC's.
