You wouldn't be bringing much to the ACC that they don't already have, and I don't think you would elevate their status as you haven't been that good as of late. If you were in the ACC right now though, you would most likely displace Pitt in their bowl slot.
Pennsylvania Bowl Team payouts...Temple/Pitt/Penn State (Guess who gets the most?)
- Thread starter fairgambit
- Start date
The women's soccer team won another national championship for PSU. You will find more reasons to complain about the AD, President, and Bot.
Uhhh... because of the unjust sanctions. PSU was very good in the range of 2005-2012.
2005: 11-1-0 (the one loss was in the worst officiated game in the history of CFB)
2006: 9-4-0 (OOC loss to ND)
2007: 9-4-0
2008: 11-2-0 (Iowa game only lost due to terrible PI call, USC destroyed PSU)
2009: 11-2-0
2010: 7-5-0 (Alabama/Florida losses)
2011: 9-4-0 (Was a great year until unjust sanctions hit)
We bring national exposure, high TV ratings, and fans (lot of them). While we have been down recently (by our standards) prior to Sandusky, in 2011, we were the highest ranked BigTen team on ESPN (this from a January, 2011 article)
"Since beginning conference competition in 1993, Penn State leads the Big Ten in TV ratings—owning seven of the top 15 most viewed Big Ten games on ESPN to rank first among conference squads". We would be a prize catch for any conference.
Story of my life, right there. Not the best, not the smartest, not the media darling, but I got the job and the woman. I am Penn State.
And that will get us nothing. Pitt, Temple and Penn State would all make the same amount this year if they went to the playoffs or to no bowl. They all would get the same pay out from their conference. I don't see why any of us care. I think Temple actually has the best location.

Penn State would make much less in the ACC. Even adding Penn State it would not bring enough money to make what they make in the B1G.

There were no sanctions in 2011. The sanctions weren't placed on PSU until the middle of 2012.
So the unjust firing of Joe Paterno, a man who did EXACTLY what he was supposed to do, and has been praised by the AG... is not a sanction? Sure it wasn't handed down (and subsequently removed) by the NCAA, but you know exactly what I mean. I'm not up for a game of semantics.
sanction synonyms: penalty, punishment
Obviously the Penn State brand remains far more lucrative than pitt's or temple's.
That's a shame.
That's a shame.
Pitt and PSU should celebrate the fact that they are both playing in a top 20 ranked bowl game (as ranked by the Washington Post). The stars did indeed align for the Military Bowl.

Wanted a team that would pull in big ratings...Temple...now that right there is funny.
As difficult as it is for someone like you to believe it, our ratings are actually pretty good for the conference we're in
