What's this?

A few things


1. Be the first conference to junk the 3-cupcake OOC schedule. TEN conference games, one power five OOC, and maybe one sentimental cupcake (like Tech playing VMI). Be the first conference to play a REAL schedule and people will notice. In 2022 we play ODU, Liberty and Wofford. Just stop.

2. Get Comcast on board with the ACCN. Not sure what the hold up is. But it's an embarrassment. Get it done.

3. Either make Notre Dame a deal they can't refuse, or stop kissing their arse--it just makes the ACC look weak.

4. Bottom line. Too much dead weight in the conference. Too many has-beens that need to get good again (FSU, Miami). Weak fanbases that are too comfortable with losing.

America loves winning. And so does the media. Winning will cure many ills.

  Give me your ways of making ACC football sexier....... -- MrFantastic! 04/04/2021 08:10AM
  Add ND and (Texas plus 2-3 friends) - eg: WVU, TT, OK, OKSU, etc. ** -- jesuisvtguy 04/14/2021 1:33PM
  Why stop at 20? Why don't we just incorporate the entire B-12? ** -- EDGEMAN 04/15/2021 12:39PM

  I'm coming around to this idea. -- HOO86 04/14/2021 8:59PM
  It's simple really. It comes down to a few things -- gman86 04/14/2021 12:05PM

  I'd like to see us improve some other sports on the ACCN -- Truthahn 04/09/2021 5:22PM
  Lacrosse is financially the most feasible -- mrcaniac 04/10/2021 01:38AM
  WVU is clearly the one to add -- Truthahn 04/09/2021 5:09PM
  FSU, Miami, and VT playing better would make a huge difference. -- wwhokie1 04/07/2021 3:12PM
  Get rid of Wake, Duke, Syr, Lou. Add WVU and USCe....... -- CrystalCoveHokie 04/06/2021 7:37PM
  Better chance ND joins than USCe ** -- wwhokie1 04/07/2021 2:53PM
  I’m not so sure about that...... -- CrystalCoveHokie 04/07/2021 3:19PM

  Maybe we could offer ACC championship access to ND -- Truthahn 04/09/2021 5:10PM
  I wouldn't like that. No championship access without full schedule. ** -- wwhokie1 04/11/2021 12:12PM
  Not sure ND would go for that -- TerryD 04/09/2021 5:28PM
  Right now the ACC is probably heading down a similar/same path -- VTHokie2000 04/07/2021 11:13AM
  Back in 2003 I was hoping the SEC would invite VT and WVU -- Maroon Baboon 04/06/2021 11:58PM
  FWIW there was some talk in the late 90s about the SEC -- VTHokie2000 04/08/2021 12:37PM
  That would have been great* ** -- Millpoint 04/08/2021 12:35PM

  15 or 16 years from now? -- TerryD 04/06/2021 12:00AM
  The GOR could end sooner if certain conditions are met -- VTHokie2000 04/06/2021 09:11AM
