What's this?

ACC Championships and even National Championships has no value

when it comes to content for the ACCN and the ESPN Family of Networks. Unfortunately, you are likely to see more broadcasts of football, M/W basketball, baseball, softball, M/W water polo, M/W ice hockey, wrestling, M/W volleyball, and M/W lacrosse, field hockey, and M/W soccer games than track meets, women's bowling, M/W golf, gymnastics, skiing, and maybe M/W tennis. The only regular season track events you will see on TV are the Penn Relays and maybe the Prefontaine Classic in Oregon.

Whoever told you that was a bureaucrat. -- HokieJack 04/25/2022 4:52PM

Chip had said Pete asked the new contract not be publicized so would likely -- VTMedic513 04/25/2022 08:44AM

I would respect his wishes not to publicize it. ** -- delawarehokie 04/25/2022 3:58PM

I'm fine with it being none of our business -- HokieR 04/25/2022 11:00AM

Why for "a while longer"? Why not for a long time? ** -- LTHokie 04/25/2022 07:49AM

That's not realistic, long-term. -- Will Stewart

04/25/2022 08:20AM

NIL vs. coaching salaries is an interesting optimization problem -- The_Phew 04/25/2022 08:32AM

Will, if his contract was renewed, what is the total annual compensation? -- carhokies 04/25/2022 08:27AM
