Exactly.

And almost to a person, nobody I know will buy season tickets anymore; who wants to buy tickets when you may not get the home-away games of every team!

We sure won't be buying.

Why? If I were the ACC, these are the three I'd take. Which brings in more viewers and money, the Boston/Providence tv market, or Roanoke's? Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse/Albany/New York City's, or Roanoke's? Miami/W. Palm/Orlando/Jacksonville's, or Roanoke's?

V. Tech loses on all 3 comparisons, same for other sports except football. Now at least the ACC can claim they are at the same level as the Big 12, SEC, and Pac 10, without getting laughed at. I think it is good for both the ACC and college football, especially if the NCAA would get some guts and yank the Big East's auto BCS bid and make it another wildcard(of course the whole lack of a playoff is a crime against humanity, but I digress...)

nobody cares who's in the stands, it's the people watching it on TV that bring in the real money.

ACC dozen, that's what the big money's talking about.
