Jay please refresh my memory on why you continue to come on to our board and pretty much run your mouth about how much better off RU is than us because they are in the B1G? You won...we get it now go duckK OFF and have a nice day!And you know this how?
Oh wait you don't.
I know you did. That will explain for you how easily Notre Dame will help the ACC Network get Chicago. Very similar situation.We already got New York.
And you know this how?
Oh wait you don't.
All I said is that we got NYC, which is true for this argument.
Speculation! *Clap Clap Clap* Speculation! *Clap Clap Clap*
Why even chime in on the discussion with your comments....any time you come on here and post you are a straight up d**k in regards to CR. Do us all a favor and focus on your upcoming football season and how you can get more than 350 fans to a men's basketball game at the RAC. The last thing we need on the CR portion of this board is a D**K like you reminding us of where we ended up in CR.Where did I say we are better off?
One of the ACC brigade talked about how ND could get Chicago subscribers for an ACC network far easier than we could get NYC for the BTN.

Not my fault you guys decided to come after me.
Since 22 of the 32 membersof the Board of Governors have ties to UNC either undergrad or graduate & they are appointed by the State Legislature (you see the pattern here) gives you a idea if how much pull UNC has. Like I said if NCSU leaves it will only be after UNC decides the ACC no longer works for themStates spend all kinds of money on "economic development" hoping to bring revenue into the state. Bringing the SEC or B1G into North Carolina and increasing revenue into the state from TV networks by $20 million per year is economic development. The state legislature will be on the side of NC State.
So you'll have the NC State backers in the legislature staunchly and enthusiastically behind the move, neutral members of the legislature mildly in favor of the move due to benefits for the state, and UNC backers concerned about the effect on UNC but unwilling to pick a fight with the NC State backers. And the Board of Governors will follow the legislature. Just my prediction.

They would cry & make a big show but in the end they would fall in line. Their is a clear pecking order & they will never be at the head of the table.I know, but you must also know that there is some animosity from NC State grads toward that UNC pull and dominance. Note that the UNC academic scandal has gotten a lot of press despite the NCAA cover up due to investigations by NC State grads. UNC will not exacerbate that animosity by blocking NC State from something that is clearly beneficial for NC State and the state of North Carolina. Again, just my read of the politics, I appreciate that UNC would try to discourage NC State from leaving the ACC, but when push comes to shove, if NC State sticks to its guns I don't think the state will block them.
That assumes NC State can get an offer. It's possible neither the B1G nor SEC will offer State as long as they think UNC might come to them, so there may be a stalemate.

And I thought Michigan's fan base was a bunch of arrogant DB's.
Nothing arrogant about pointing out the truth. It is unlikely NCSU would make to much of a issue since their Chancellor & most of their Board of Trustees are selected by a Governing Body that was created by UNC in the first placeAnd I thought Michigan's fan base was a bunch of arrogant DB's.
You can assume ND football content will be on the ACC Channel either original ESPN content or licensed from NBC Sports. And yes there will be ND basketball and Olympic Sports too.Michigan, PSU, and OSU football teams along with their very large alumni base that live in NYC say hi.
The ACC has ND basketball and Olympic sports to push for Chicago. That's it. No large ACC alumni base to help get carriage. Throw that in with no ND football and these to situations aren't even close.

As Bill Cosby says . . . Riiiiiiiiight.
There are 60 football games contracted for between ND and the ACC for the next 12 years. Were you expecting the ACC and ND to hide them all from the public? That would be foolish. So yes. Riiiiight.
Jay, I have a question you might be able to answer. Why did RU get NYC tier 1 cable access? I could see the 3 million or so in North Jersey but why NYC?Where did I say we are better off?

Sure, but would they. It seems that the FSU/Clemson to The Big12 thing has sailed. Would VT want to move? I don't know. I couldn't tell you even if The Big10 would admit them. That being said, losing VT, in my opinion, wouldn't hurt The ACC or UVA much, if at all. Gaining a new market (while keeping an open spot for a potential ND full buy in) might do wonders for a potential ACCN.
