What's this?

I think from the perspective of ACC fans, ND has already been here.

The five games a year with ND gives the perception that ND is pretty much already in the Conference. It's just the ND not playing the remaining schedule that denies it's coaches and players from competing for the ACC Championship. So the fact that ND is actually playing a full schedule this year should feel different for ND fans, but to ACC fans it's not much of a change.

Now I don't think people want to force ND to join. We don't want anyone here to doesn't want to be here. I also don't know if the ACC is ready for ND right away since we haven't done the work to find a #16 to come into the league at the same time. We'd have to get the NCAA to allow conferences to schedule like we are this year to do so. That requires a rules change on Conference Championship Games. But a ND announcement of their intent to join would set the search in motion I think.

If a conference, especially a power conference, is going to expand -- VTHokie2000 10/28/2020 2:04PM

My expansion view is tainted by Louisville & Syracuse -- Roanokie 10/28/2020 1:57PM

I prefer ND wants to join the ACC, and not be forced to join -- EDGEMAN 10/28/2020 1:04PM

Most if not all want you in the conference, but not forced by the ACC. -- Stech 10/28/2020 12:37PM

We play ND more often than Lville, Clemson, FSU, etc.... Current deal works -- wwhokie1 10/29/2020 4:02PM

I agree with all of that, but will add that whomever ND wants for 16 will -- Stech 10/28/2020 12:33PM

I also think the ACC will do something with the conference schedule... -- EDGEMAN 10/28/2020 1:06PM

I am not sure the ACC is willing to open that Pandora's box -- VTHokie2000 10/28/2020 2:19PM

Maybe when the commish retires we can re-do the stupid football scheduling. ** -- hokie4ever 10/28/2020 7:23PM
