Wrong on a few points.


1. And who's fault is it that ACC matchups are found, or not found, on Raycom? Preaching to the choir there.


2. OSU has plenty of other opponents on its schedule. VT was a great interregional matchup for them and the TV ratings showed it. OSU versus Iowa does not draw the way the OSU versus VT games did. And it wasn't like VT was all that highly rated. VT's a TV ratings draw, especially when we're good.

3. VT would use that extra $20 million if it were in the SEC and hosting Florida, Tennessee, USCE, Georgia, with the occasional Bama, LSU, Texas A&M well. Replace BC, UNC and Cuse on VT's schedules with UGA, Tennessee, and LSU and watch what happens with seat donations. Heck, even Kentucky would sell more tickets than anyone in the Coastal. We would be A-OK in the SEC. We're sure to be outgunned by the Marylands of the world soon and it will be leaving a mark.

4.The VT vs. Clemson game had a 21 point differential TWICE. It was not a competitive match up most of the game. VT made it close with 2 unanswered TD's VERY late. If I were random viewer in Texas, I know dang well I woulda been watching 5 versus 6. There was a 2 point spread in the B1GCG, the ACCCG was considered a potential blowout.


Look, I like the ACC, but they have not been well run. I've watched as they went from the premier league to nearly crumbling this last 15 years. And it was the result of one poor decision after another. If you were around this board, you would know that.
