When you don't sponsor many sports you can pay football coaches more.

With the exception of Alabama, it hasn't mattered. ACC teams consistently spank Florida, South Carolina, and Kentucky. And will also spank Auburn, Mississippi State, Mississippi, and Texas A&M.

VT has a shot at Tennessee this year.

The B1G is Ohio State and dwarfs.

SEC and Big Ten are super conferences on another level? -- hokieball 07/23/2016 7:55PM

I'm probably wrong, but, I sense there is more going on in Texas than -- seekoHoG 07/25/2016 7:40PM

I was with you until "group of 6". Can't see 5, let alone, 6 surviving. ** -- marcbvtgm 07/26/2016 08:29AM

Status Quo: P5 and G5. Future: P4 and G6 -- Red Hokie 07/26/2016 09:05AM

Past: G-whatever. Future: P4 and everyone else. -- marcbvtgm 07/28/2016 3:23PM

I definitely think Big 12 is looking to the future -- Maroon Doom 07/25/2016 9:54PM

Agree but there have always been money gaps -- Colonel Jessup 07/25/2016 09:44AM

This is 1 reason 5 will become 4, in spite of what the Indy ND group wants -- Stech 07/25/2016 08:54AM

It's not just an indy group. It is the SEC and Big 10 -- goldendomer 07/25/2016 10:02AM

Who cares what the SEC and B1G want? -- HOO86 07/26/2016 5:59PM

Do you honestly believe ESPn has no say? ** -- goldendomer 07/26/2016 6:14PM

Based on their reporting of the CFP process the last 2 years, absolutely. -- daveinop 07/26/2016 9:05PM

Not sure anyone at ESPN has read this -- daveinop 07/26/2016 9:16PM

The PAC is not in a good position right now, expansion is very much on -- Stech 07/25/2016 12:57PM

They really do need Texas. Wonder if they will resurrect the previous deal? ** -- daveinop 07/25/2016 1:24PM

Texas, TTU, Oklahoma, and Okla. State..... -- Old Line Hokie 07/25/2016 1:38PM

Anyone wanna take a stab at what the confs would look like if it happened? -- Colonel Jessup 07/25/2016 2:04PM

I think everything would have been a lot more stable. ** -- reestuart 07/26/2016 1:10PM

Shoot I can't remember what it all looked like back then! -- Hokie CPA 07/25/2016 2:27PM

If the Pac-16 had added those 6 schools -- VTHokie2000 07/25/2016 2:52PM

Seems the only SEC play would be to try to pry VA/NC schools from the ACC -- Colonel Jessup 07/25/2016 2:50PM

If all ACC schools signs the new GOR that isn't a possibilty. ** -- Maroon Doom 07/25/2016 6:51PM

All schools have signed the new GOR. ** -- Atlee Hokie 07/27/2016 2:42PM

Why would the Big Ten decide to take Kansas and Missouri? -- VTHokie2000 07/25/2016 3:00PM

Just thought Mizz/KU would be a better option than Rutgers/UConn -- Colonel Jessup 07/25/2016 5:17PM

From a basketball and football perspective, I do agree that KU/MU -- VTHokie2000 07/26/2016 5:09PM

I think they are over the 2 teams thing; fans may not be but the ADs are ** -- daveinop 07/25/2016 10:24AM

Most important ESPN is not... They love the SEC and even after the Bama-LSU -- goldendomer 07/25/2016 10:28AM

Agree re: B1G. however, ESPN is no longer the selection committee -- daveinop 07/25/2016 10:45AM

Yes they are. Just hoping college crashes soon.** -- Gator Hokie 07/24/2016 4:15PM

One of the most intriguing quotes from ESPN was -- ahokie4u 07/23/2016 9:16PM
