Nebraska used to do pay per view for some games (pre Big 10+). -- DanNUandVT 08/02/2017 10:38PM Ok. I guess it seems foreign here in the ACC. -- HOO86 08/03/2017 2:54PM Yes, the Big XII had awful television contracts (at least for viewing) -- DanNUandVT 08/03/2017 8:26PM In the "old" days (pre-ACC), I could watch every VT game on television -- EDGEMAN 08/04/2017 09:28AM Not at all a first. SEC has been doing it for decades. ** -- LaneRat 08/02/2017 4:42PM You are saying the SEC has been doing pay per view for $55 a game? ** -- Stech 08/02/2017 8:16PM Can't remember what the price was, 39.95 maybe. -- Maroon Doom 08/03/2017 10:02PM Can't say for sure but that sounds about right ** -- LaneRat 08/03/2017 12:13PM So for decades the SEC has been providing PPV games for $55, can you link -- Stech 08/03/2017 12:28PM I think LaneRat is speaking about individual SEC schools.... -- Calamitous 08/03/2017 7:48PM Not the SEC, but here is an example from when Nebraska was in the Big XII. -- DanNUandVT 08/03/2017 1:15PM I foresee some bootleg live streaming, tough to stop ** -- RTFC 08/02/2017 11:34AM Did I read that right? $54.99 for the game? -- Atlee Hokie 08/01/2017 11:18PM I'm guessing if cord-cutting takes a huge bite out of conference -- reestuart 08/02/2017 09:10AM Sounds like the arrogance that NASCAR had...look at their attendance & TV -- Stech 08/02/2017 6:27PM The question would be for how many games, are you paying -- fordham 08/02/2017 10:16AM Would you pay $200 to watch VT play Clemson, FSU, L'ville, -- VTHokie2000 08/02/2017 4:43PM Nope. I'll listen to the games on the radio if it comes to that... -- EDGEMAN 08/02/2017 8:09PM If I'm reduced to staying home at that point, no, I will not pay that much. -- Atlee Hokie 08/02/2017 6:43PM No...might as well buy tickets. ** -- Stech 08/02/2017 6:21PM All things considered, $200 barely gets you in the stadium... -- reestuart 08/03/2017 09:30AM What about if you can't buy tickets to the game? ** -- VTHokie2000 08/02/2017 7:00PM Your average fan will not pay that money, they will watch other sports. -- Stech 08/02/2017 8:14PM Too many other choices for many to pay that kind of money. ** -- wwhokie1 08/05/2017 9:27PM Buy stock in BW3 or other sports bars ** -- RTFC 08/02/2017 9:04PM I agree with you. However, football doesn't really have much -- VTHokie2000 08/02/2017 8:34PM The competition doesn't always come in the form of another sport... -- Stech 08/02/2017 8:42PM Yes, there are other forms of entertainment and I agree with -- VTHokie2000 08/02/2017 8:49PM And when that time comes, I'll be reduced to listening on the radio. -- Atlee Hokie 08/02/2017 09:11AM Yeah, I'm curious to see where it all goes, but there's no -- reestuart 08/02/2017 09:19AM Its coming, they are all going to have to figure out how to -- fordham 08/02/2017 10:17AM I was just going to post something to the same effect. -- Atlee Hokie 08/02/2017 1:35PM All the signs point that direction, with ESPN having issues, fox is having -- fordham 08/02/2017 3:31PM They will just find ways to pass it onto the consumers. -- VTHokie2000 08/02/2017 5:17PM At some point, consumers will change their viewing habits. -- Atlee Hokie 08/02/2017 6:41PM I would think so too. However, I currently live in the DMV -- VTHokie2000 08/02/2017 7:03PM I have lived there, in other places in VA and in neighboring states -- RTFC 08/02/2017 9:08PM We weren't talking about just VT football, but all of college football -- VTHokie2000 08/02/2017 9:44PM Cable was/is getting expensive so a lot of folks are cutting the cord. -- Atlee Hokie 08/04/2017 07:23AM I agree with you.
