That is one idea he brought up to bring in more money

Along with adding Notre Dame. Doing both of those would move ND from NBC to Disney, plus adding another conference game gives Disney more ACC inventory. Disney would prefer for Florida State to play Duke on one of their networks than for FSU to play at Oklahoma on FOX. And they would prefer to have Notre Dame on Disney for a minimum of 9 games a season.

Interesting tidbits -- goldendomer 03/17/2021 01:33AM

Phillips to ND: "These are the conference mates you're looking for" -- Truthahn 03/17/2021 3:40PM

The bar that Swoffy set is fairly low, so I think/hope -- 133193Hokie 03/17/2021 11:13AM

The bar is pretty low for sure. -- goldendomer 03/17/2021 6:13PM

Increase conference games -- mrcaniac 03/15/2021 10:19PM

Definitely should go to 9 games. The ACC is cheating itself out of good -- reestuart 03/25/2021 2:09PM

Divisions make no sense with 14+ teams and 8 conf games. -- jesuisvtguy 03/20/2021 6:00PM

Interesting. Thanks for the insight. ** -- jesuisvtguy 03/21/2021 5:11PM

Not that ND football is joining, but adding conference football games is... -- TerryD 03/21/2021 09:48AM

Although I would love ND to join, really happy with the games we have now. ** -- EDGEMAN 03/21/2021 12:51PM

Need a Power games minimum of at least 10, 4 Power Conferences w/ 4 Quads -- Stech 03/17/2021 7:22PM

I am probably in minority but I think non-conference -- Colonel Jessup 03/17/2021 2:34PM

Agree, and that has been the result of the current playoff model -- Vienna_Hokie 03/22/2021 2:30PM

Good luck coming up with 2 divisions where all 14 schools would be happy -- VTHokie2000 03/16/2021 8:40PM

Get rid of divisions -- Truthahn 03/17/2021 3:51PM

I am fine with the ACC getting rid of the divisions -- VTHokie2000 03/17/2021 7:09PM

Fans think its just make it so. there is diversity of opinion by the school -- Mercury 03/16/2021 10:22AM

Require 10 or 11 power conf games from everyone. -- Mr. Touchdown 03/19/2021 11:50AM

Unlikely, will impact all the non-power conference teams -- Vienna_Hokie 03/22/2021 2:35PM

It's what Phillips mentioned in the interview -- mrcaniac 03/16/2021 4:57PM

All I saying its a negotiation and extended discussions -- Mercury 03/16/2021 5:04PM

He wouldn't be talking about it if it wasn't something mentioned -- mrcaniac 03/16/2021 8:22PM
