Navy as a football-only member makes and I agree with your assessment

However, here is something worth considering WRT Navy's future. Now that the AAC kicked UConn out after UConn decided to rejoin the Big East, the AAC has 11 members for football. Given that Navy is already a football-only member, the AAC may decide to invite Army to join as a football-only member and take UConn's place. It would make things easier for the AAC for scheduling purposes. Also, the AAC would have exclusive rights to the Army-Navy Game and two-thirds of the rights to the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy Competition with the MWC retaining Air Force's rights to the game.

Assuming Navy has that offer on the table and Army is willing to join the AAC as a football-only member, then the ACC may have to really sweeten the pot if the Navy is going to take the ACC's counteroffer seriously. What counteroffer could the ACC offer that would get Navy to leave the AAC?

Make believe world: If ACC were forced to join ACC.. go pod system? -- Suffhokian 07/13/2020 09:01AM

Scheduling with 4 Pods and 16 makes it so Pods can be geographical and -- Stech 07/13/2020 12:47PM

I think this works the best. -- HOO86 07/13/2020 3:23PM

It is probably the best compromise given the reality of the situation -- VTHokie2000 07/13/2020 9:17PM

UVA will be in the same Quad as VT, UVA could also schedule UNC OOC every -- Stech 07/14/2020 07:50AM

I would not assume that UVA would be placed in the same quad -- VTHokie2000 07/14/2020 10:38AM

I didn't say UVA would be in the same Quad as VT & UNC, in fact I don't -- Stech 07/14/2020 11:49AM

The WAC and ACC wouldn't be in different situations when it comes -- VTHokie2000 07/14/2020 12:03PM

If they went to 16 teams -- Suffhokian 07/13/2020 11:19AM

No way we want U Conn -- HokieinClemson 07/13/2020 1:22PM

Yeah. Couldn't find another that fit. Just wanted to illustrate it ** -- Suffhokian 07/13/2020 1:26PM

The #16 slot is solely reserved for ND -- EDGEMAN 07/13/2020 12:15PM

Since the ACC is already at 15 with Notre Dame for all other sports -- VTHokie2000 07/13/2020 12:31PM

Navy seems to me to be the logical choice. That game is always on ND's -- seekoHoG 07/13/2020 4:06PM

Navy as a football-only member or full member? -- VTHokie2000 07/13/2020 5:13PM

I honestly do not think ND will ever become a member of the ACC football -- seekoHoG 07/13/2020 7:08PM

It's their choice...as long as it's not UCONN...lol ** -- EDGEMAN 07/13/2020 3:03PM

Hello USC or Hawai'i ;-) ** -- VTHokie2000 07/13/2020 3:23PM

This could be the rivals... -- Suffhokian 07/13/2020 10:24AM

Got to be 16 teams, IMHO. ** -- MrFantastic! 07/13/2020 10:16AM

That's makes it fun ** -- Suffhokian 07/13/2020 10:23AM

You could also lock in a rival opponent from each POD and it still works ** -- Suffhokian 07/13/2020 09:12AM

FWIW the WAC already tried the rotating pod system -- VTHokie2000 07/13/2020 12:25PM
