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

More teams actually means more rivalry games... -- jesuisvtguy 04/17/2021 9:34PM

How would this look -- Millpoint 04/15/2021 10:00AM

Unless the ACC gets enough support to change the NCAA DI bylaws -- VTHokie2000 04/15/2021 12:21PM

Right. 2 divisions of 10 teams is a disaster. Have to get the Pod exemption ** -- jesuisvtguy 04/17/2021 9:36PM

I am not sure the other conferences would agree to it because -- VTHokie2000 04/18/2021 2:19PM

The concept is to still consider -- jesuisvtguy 04/19/2021 2:03PM

The WAC tried the rotating quad method in the late 90s -- VTHokie2000 04/19/2021 7:07PM

I'm coming around to this idea. -- HOO86 04/14/2021 8:59PM

Yes - that could position the ACC well to be the supreme conference. ** -- jesuisvtguy 04/17/2021 9:37PM

It's simple really. It comes down to a few things -- gman86 04/14/2021 12:05PM

2 Florida Schools need to be top 5 again. ND helps ratings, but they can't -- Stech 04/12/2021 12:26PM

76 replies and not one like -- goldendomer 04/11/2021 12:27AM

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

I look at the present day Tennessee in many ways just like USCe -- HOO86 04/09/2021 7:06PM

Any chance of ND joining is way in future. But still greater chance than -- wwhokie1 04/07/2021 3:38PM

ND joining the ACC...sooner rather than later. ** -- Stech 04/09/2021 8:49PM

No, I think we're farther away -- goldendomer 04/10/2021 02:35AM

Just curious. Why do you say that? ** -- Hokester 04/10/2021 09:34AM

The attitude of the fan-base was one of gratitude -- goldendomer 04/10/2021 3:28PM

Unless there is another big change... -- gman86 04/13/2021 11:40AM

If the playoff adds a conference championship requirement we will join that -- goldendomer 04/13/2021 12:03PM

None of the power conferences will go along with it -- VTHokie2000 04/15/2021 1:03PM

Those are all my takes as well, and have been for years -- TerryD 04/13/2021 6:30PM

Even if that was a rule, they can still get 2 teams into the playoff -- EDGEMAN 04/13/2021 3:40PM

About the 2 playoff teams thing... -- gman86 04/13/2021 1:27PM

Conferences do receive more money for having two teams in the playoff -- goldendomer 04/13/2021 2:02PM

Appreciate the insight. -- Hokester 04/10/2021 6:40PM

Not in the cards -- TerryD 04/10/2021 01:21AM

We will see. ** -- Stech 04/10/2021 06:41AM

The 2020 season had a weird effect -- TerryD 04/10/2021 07:45AM

Am interested in why you say that. ** -- Hokester 04/10/2021 09:35AM

Playing all ACC teams seemed too "restrictive" to ND fans -- TerryD 04/10/2021 11:25AM

Well... 2020 was different for everyone -- gman86 04/13/2021 11:47AM

Spot on, the schedule will be very different when the ACC goes to 16. -- Stech 04/14/2021 12:06PM

Appreciate your comments. Glad you guys will be back in Bburg this fall. ** -- Hokester 04/10/2021 6:42PM

Yep, it hardened the position -- goldendomer 04/10/2021 1:07PM

Yes but none of those other teams are ACC geographically desirable...... -- CrystalCoveHokie 04/08/2021 12:24AM

Wasn't GT once in the SEC? ** -- EDGEMAN 04/07/2021 4:19PM

Yes over Bear Bryant's recruiting and the 140 rule -- HOO86 04/09/2021 6:58PM

Stop with the getting rid of schools. It ain't happening!! ACC isn't the -- Lakeridgehokie 04/07/2021 10:45AM

7 ACC games would do it... -- gman86 04/13/2021 11:56AM

This probably makes the most sense -- Millpoint 04/15/2021 11:45AM

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

I know what you're talking about, but there is a huge difference. -- EDGEMAN 04/07/2021 12:23PM

But that is just it though the Big East did have some football schools -- VTHokie2000 04/07/2021 12:52PM

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

If I had to take a guess on what a 16-member SEC would look like -- VTHokie2000 04/08/2021 12:57PM

I agree that the ACC shoulda went for a "go big or go home" approach in '03 -- Maroon Baboon 04/08/2021 3:20PM

In terms of ACC expansion, the ACC should have added WVU -- VTHokie2000 04/07/2021 11:06AM

TBH, not a ton can be done. Several schools that will never be any more -- reestuart 04/06/2021 3:16PM

Slow march to irrelevancy. Would take something drastic -- Colonel Jessup 04/10/2021 09:46AM

Yep. If ND doesn’t come on board (they aren’t), the ACC is screwed. SEC os -- reestuart 04/10/2021 6:05PM

The sad truth about ACC football -- Maroon Baboon 04/07/2021 09:07AM

Yep. It’s like asking why I can’t be an NBA power forward. At 5-10, its -- reestuart 04/07/2021 09:25AM

On target, many folks dislike hearing the truth ! ** -- FLKEYSHOKIE 04/06/2021 8:16PM

That is a tough question to answer because it may require the ACC -- VTHokie2000 04/04/2021 11:38PM

It is always easy to draw this up on paper, but -- wwhokie1 04/07/2021 3:10PM

As I have noted in other posts, don't be surprised if the ACC has a divorce -- VTHokie2000 04/07/2021 5:21PM

Tell me how the court case will go ND v. ACC -- TerryD 04/05/2021 08:09AM

That suggestion is referring to the new GOR -- VTHokie2000 04/05/2021 6:20PM

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

Good luck with all of that -- TerryD 04/06/2021 7:07PM

Don't be surprised if the ACC goes through a similar divorce just like -- VTHokie2000 04/06/2021 10:02PM

I won't be surprised -- TerryD 04/06/2021 10:51PM

That has been my point. It can't increase because it has too much dead -- VTHokie2000 04/06/2021 11:00PM

If no large revenue increases, the ACC may be history in 2036 -- TerryD 04/07/2021 08:35AM

2036 is a long way off...... -- 2hhoop3 04/07/2021 09:54AM

I don't think you will see the Big Ten or SEC expand beyond 16 -- VTHokie2000 04/07/2021 09:06AM

No ND is safe. We add to much and ESPN would balk. -- goldendomer 04/06/2021 7:22PM

2036 is so far out. Why -- goldendomer 04/05/2021 8:19PM

I think.... -- 2hhoop3 04/05/2021 8:31PM

A GOR is nothing more than a mechanism to prevent teams from leaving a -- 133193Hokie 04/06/2021 3:09PM

Agree and..... -- 2hhoop3 04/06/2021 3:51PM

If that is true, then what does it say about the ACC when the other -- VTHokie2000 04/05/2021 8:44PM

You have to distinguish.... -- 2hhoop3 04/05/2021 8:52PM

The GOR may be a requirement of the contract though -- VTHokie2000 04/05/2021 9:00PM

I don't think you understand... -- 2hhoop3 04/05/2021 9:17PM

I understand just fine. We just disagree on how close the two are -- VTHokie2000 04/06/2021 08:14AM

I would suggest you need to.... -- 2hhoop3 04/06/2021 10:15AM

It appears we are talking about different things ** -- VTHokie2000 04/06/2021 10:20AM

My guess is he wanted to get a deal done at any cost so his -- VTHokie2000 04/05/2021 8:29PM

This is a tough question -- goldendomer 04/05/2021 10:45AM

Money is the "lifeblood" of any conference and the major reason the ACC -- FLKEYSHOKIE 04/05/2021 8:44PM

And they should. The ACC leadership really failed the football -- goldendomer 04/07/2021 8:54PM

A few things -- Maroon Baboon 04/04/2021 11:10PM

Sad truth, ODU, Liberty and Wofford lately could make a formidable OCC for -- wwhokie1 04/07/2021 3:17PM

Yes. Liberty is good. And I guess ODU might be too. -- Maroon Baboon 04/07/2021 11:07PM
