[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 814422, member: 3774"] I got hung up on WV and debating THIER a value when my larger point was and still is the value of THE ACC. I personally don’t care who comes to the conference as long as they bring a lot of fans. Fans are the key to it all. We can argue about TV money forever but TV responds to value of the conference. The SEC is bringing in these huge TV contracts because of THIER fans demand for their teams. The SEC has exploited that demand by pointing out/using fan demand and thus creating its conference value and ESPN has rewarded their value in sports TV By handing out big money because they know fans will pay to see those teams. The SEC targets value in its common form and they can now because the value has created prestige, a want to come From other schools. The ACC cannot sit by and watch as the other conferences increase their fan appeal and value. Some of you look at it backwards. You say the established value brings more to the table essentially arguing that these value teams will leave their conferences to join ours and we should wait for that before we do anything. Short of that you seem to argue that doing nothing creates more value. I don’t feel that’s realistic at all. The entire capitalist creed is creating value where there is none to little. It’s how Mars candy got rich, Ford Motor Company, hell The NCAA. None of them stood pat and waited on value to come to them, they all improved (an action ) their product to create value. Sure I’d welcome Penn State, ND or even God forbid Georgia to The ACC because yes it’s instant value, no work involved, it would be baked in. But it ain’t gonna happen so The ACC has to create the value it needs for all member schools to eventually get into the big TV money. You have to drive up interest and you do that by bringing in young blood, new faces. That’s where the value I talk about lies. I ain’t stupid I can see the value of Penn State and other big established schools but I’m realistic when i ask why would they come ? None you can answer that hugely important question. ND and the SEC control college football they ain’t gonna allow themselves to be edged out via rules or playoff formats. The Big 10 is simply an accomplice. Fresh and new ideas usually bring money, the safe route keeps the money You have until your product is actually devalued in your market.
