Do they have maximum IQ requirements for West Virginia fans?
Wishful thinking.
Unless they got 5 of their friends to come along at the same time, they would be forfeiting their TV revenue to the Big whatever for the next 10 or so years because of the Grant of Rights. That's 200 million dollars. That's why the XII is far more secure than people are understanding at this point.
I don't think even Texas would justify that, especially when they are in a conference where they call the shots? Why give that up for a conference where they would not be guaranteed as much money(smaller per team cut and no tier 3), wouldn't be able to touch the money for 10 years, would have very little in common with culturally, would have major headaches for their large non revenue programs, and would be playing 2nd fiddle, at best?
Pipe dream for the ACC.
It founds like Bowlsby is basically wanting a setup where the non-con games would only be against the partner conferences. That would probably raise the contracts for each conference as it would provide several more high quality games with large viewer bases each season. If s broadcaster locked up that block of games, I imagine it would cost a pretty penny. Would really suck for smaller schools though that would be getting locked out of the non cons. It could really start a situation where there are just 80 or less teams practically in the game, without additional realignment carnage.
The two explanations for this on the WVU board are:
1. The only mentioned the ACC because they are setting us up for the raid. 6 teams leaving tuesday and they have been saying that every tuesday.
2. The Big 12 has agreed to do this and stop raiding if we give them two teams to get to 12.
