The Please-save-us-ND approach is all we've given them.

It's kinda like the dude who threatens to commit suicide if his girlfriend breaks up with him. Not very inspiring. For all the bluster from ND about independence and not wanting to join the Big Ten, if it comes down to it, they will do it rather than save the ACC. The ACC should approach it with that reality. They should also approach it with the idea that the 5-game ACC deal isn't going to work. They did took what they were offered, did what they said they would do. But no more and no less.

One idea I have is give carte blanche to ND to negotiate with USC for both to form a division or pod to join the ACC with whatever members they chose. Tell them to pick six additional schools from the B12 and P12 others. I'd also promise them addition picks if we contract members in the current ACC in 2036.

Can't wait for ACC expansion. That way VT plays Clemson once per decade. -- Roanokie 07/29/2021 4:00PM

That's just math. Everyone in the Coastal plays ND more -- VictoryTurkey 07/29/2021 9:17PM

Expansion probably means the end of divisions, so more often ** -- wwhokie1 07/29/2021 5:20PM

The SEC-Texas/OU deal all but guarantees a larger CFP. -- Maroon Baboon 07/29/2021 2:18PM
