@treadmillhorse It is strange. I think (and hope) they are paranoid that Campbell will be more of the same “PSU glass ceiling, OSU/UM little brother” schtick while VT/Franklin will thrive in a less competitive ACC. Can you imagine what THAT legacy will look like?! 🤣 James knows it too…🦃🦃🦃
@therealdcunna@TimThomasTLP@AndyBitterVT This should not be a surprise or ever be a topic of discussion. VT should have 100 rooms on hold annually for this. They can release them if they don’t host. They will get snatched up immediately.
The Hall of Fame Era Committee meets this Sunday, December 7th. Dale Murphy needs 12 of 16 votes. You never know who will see this and their vote may be the one that puts Murph over the top. Please retweet if you love Murph and believe he deserves to be honored in Cooperstown.

Peachtree TV in Atlanta is showing Iowa/Iowa State instead of Virginia Tech / Marshall.
Great job of marketing the conference.
At least we could watch it on ESPN+.
You should be ashamed and embarrassed.
@peachtreetv@TechSideline@TheCW
so frustrating
If you are going to buy college football games as a network, be smart enough to know they are regional draws.
Showing Iowa in Georgia? Ridiculous.

@mitchlafon I saw it and I loved it. It was extremely well done. As someone who never saw Ronnie live, it was the next-best-thing. Smiled from ear-to-ear the whole time. Everyone who is bashing it just missed out on a great life experience.
@esmithnole@Genetics56 I do not know, but FSU estimated $520M payment which includes $120M exit fee. So, $400M in rights x 9/13 = $277M shaved off, if equal per year.
@Genetics56 Agreed that expulsion is not worth discussing. Just curious if something like LIV or Super League could happen, which could have a similar effect, leaving some behind? I do not think B1G or SEC have anything like GOR in place, nor am I aware if any exit fees might apply?
@SSN_Hokies @BuzzOffDwags @Genetics56 I live in Atlanta, so bummed not to have a “home game for me” every 2 years! Hate to lose Miami also - another great rivalry game lost.
@Genetics56 any chance golf’s LIV happens to CFB? Pick top 40-ish football brands & take TV package to market? Kill all 5 conf’s. swap out also-rans in Big Ten & SEC for football powerhouses in ACC, B12 & P12…
@Genetics56 1. Ignore UW & NU outliers & u can visualize correlated trendline going down L->R
2. Suggest: look @ 2 types of retention: upgrade school vs downgrade/more PT
3. Low Retention = indicator of poor results? Underperform vs expects, run off more kids?
