What's this?

Nobody wants anybody except TX, OU and possibly KS...

and all these scenarios where the other conferences take the crap schools so that one of the others can have the good stuff are crazy and won't ever happen. Those other schools will join the AAC or something.

There is no scenario where the Pac-12 will add only Texas and OU -- VTHokie2000 02/01/2017 5:10PM

Probably True, but... -- Mr. Touchdown 02/02/2017 08:30AM

I am not sure if that is true or not. WRT the SEC something to consider -- VTHokie2000 02/02/2017 5:51PM

Me thinks a new separate P4 will require each league to add a couple duds. -- chuckd4vt 01/28/2017 10:48PM

It's not clear to me who can exert that pressure: -- lawhokie 01/30/2017 11:06AM

I think the networks, politicians, public would all exert some force. -- chuckd4vt 01/30/2017 11:18AM

All of those entities have different interests though... -- lawhokie 01/30/2017 11:25AM

What about trading something (ratings?) for antitrust exemption? ** -- VTHokie2000 01/30/2017 12:03PM

Switch Kansas and WVU and that BEGINS to make sense. -- chuckd4vt 01/28/2017 6:50PM

Kansas in the ACC would be ridiculous ** -- CrystalCoveHokie 01/28/2017 6:32PM

Article too generous to Little 7. And ND will be a key player. -- Maroon Baboon 01/28/2017 1:13PM

If we can get Texas, we should take whoever Texas wants... -- lawhokie 01/28/2017 8:53PM

The ACC is not the number 4 conference today -- Byting Gobbler 01/28/2017 10:52PM

As time passes the odds of Texas to the SEC increase. -- HOO86 01/28/2017 3:44PM

If both OU and UT go to the SEC, that's bad news for the ACC and the others -- Maroon Baboon 01/28/2017 5:34PM

Does OU have any interest about joining the ACC? -- VTHokie2000 01/30/2017 12:34PM

ACC wouldn't be their first choice. But if they are looking for a... -- Maroon Baboon 01/30/2017 4:30PM

The Pac 16 was ready to take Okie State until TAMU killed the deal -- VTHokie2000 01/30/2017 4:36PM

But would the Pac12 take just those two (without Texas)? -- Maroon Baboon 01/30/2017 5:51PM

I agree it is unclear whether the ACC or Pac-12 would take -- VTHokie2000 01/30/2017 8:40PM

PAC 12 turned down that idea once. -- HOO86 01/30/2017 9:38PM

The reason the Pac-12 turned down the idea of becoming the Pac-14 -- VTHokie2000 01/31/2017 12:32AM

Warner wasn't instrumental in getting VT into the ACC -- EDGEMAN 01/31/2017 07:16AM

Warner did call around and lobby for VT, but Casteen was already voting VT. -- HOO86 01/31/2017 2:13PM

Warner's biggest play was give Dr Casteen political cover. -- Atlee Hokie 02/01/2017 12:18AM

That is why I said Texas Tech's situation may play out similarly -- VTHokie2000 01/31/2017 12:00PM

I will be interesting to see these two things. -- Maroon Baboon 01/31/2017 3:11PM

I don't think the SEC would be interested in adding Texas Tech -- VTHokie2000 01/31/2017 12:35AM

Louisville for Maryland was a big win for the ACC. Football, basketball, -- manassashoo 01/29/2017 11:14AM

It was a net loss. A big net loss. ** -- reestuart 01/30/2017 2:52PM

I think losing a research-oriented top tier AAU school hurt the conference -- lawhokie 01/30/2017 11:19AM

Don't think any current ACC school misses the MDU fan base. -- EDGEMAN 01/31/2017 07:20AM

The ACC traded that fanbase for Petrino/Patino. Is that better? ** -- reestuart 01/31/2017 09:03AM

You kidding right? tens of millions/year why that's worked out for them. -- chuckd4vt 01/28/2017 6:54PM

Did you read my post? -- Colonel Jessup 01/29/2017 3:42PM

What rivals did Nebraska have in the Big XII? -- DanNUandVT 01/30/2017 3:41PM

I can buy all that but time will tell on recruiting, success, and tradition -- Colonel Jessup 01/30/2017 5:42PM

Recruiting is always a concern regardless of conference affiliation. -- DanNUandVT 01/30/2017 7:09PM

Yes. Nebraska and A&M appear smaller fish now. Albeit richer.** -- Maroon Baboon 01/29/2017 7:20PM

A&M's been kill'n it compared to when they were in Big12. Best in Texas now -- chuckd4vt 01/31/2017 07:02AM

I don't agree that Rutgers was a "fantastic addition" -- wwhokie1 01/29/2017 12:23PM

For some odd reason, just don't see Kansas in the ACC -- EDGEMAN 01/28/2017 09:47AM

If the ACC can get Texas, they should do it regardless of circumstance... -- lawhokie 01/28/2017 8:49PM

So, if the ACC picks up Baylor, Iowa State &/or Kansas/KSU we'll be better? -- EDGEMAN 01/30/2017 07:54AM

In what circumstance would Texas request those schools? -- lawhokie 01/30/2017 11:11AM

I don't either. That suggestion by the author was baffling. -- HOO86 01/28/2017 3:26PM

My view of the future ACC. Notre Dame will become -- manassashoo 01/28/2017 09:27AM

A geographic fit that brings regional rivalries with it is best. -- HOO86 01/28/2017 3:32PM

If the ACC wanted any of those schools, they could have had them already. -- Maroon Baboon 01/28/2017 5:44PM

Yes. But the ACC isn't in expansion mode. -- HOO86 01/29/2017 4:34PM

Thank goodness! -- EDGEMAN 01/31/2017 07:29AM
