[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 997664, member: 1640"] It would be interesting to see how the money increased with the proliferation of TV games. I know that in my lifetime I’ve gone from being lucky if Tech had one or two regular season games on TV to being able to just about see the entire season on TV. So, to understand your argument, you are suggesting that stability of scheduling (as well as joining with other like minded academic institutions) would have been a driving factor in joining the ACC. You certainly are correct that it became both more difficult for Tech to hang onto traditional rivalry games as an independent while also becoming less advantageous for certain SEC teams to schedule Tech. So what was the role of money in joining the ACC? And did money become bigger after the fact as conferences began to control more and more of the access to weekly TV coverage? To ask the question a different way, if Tech had its own TV contract like Notre Dame, and could rake in $50 million a pop, would Tech have stayed independent? [/QUOTE]
