What's this?

If I am the ACC commissioner...

I engage PAC-12 and BIG without any regard to ND. My focus would be what is in the best interest of my full members. Period. ND will get a seat at the table because of basketball, but I am not really going to listen to them. I am serving FSU, Clemson, UNC and Duke. Everybody else is just noise.

Frankly, if I can stick it to ND just a little, that would be a nice to have.

ND has proven they work better with the SEC than the ACC, like TerryD keeps -- Stech 08/25/2021 7:03PM

ND will never join the SEC...take that to the bank. ** -- hok1eboy 08/25/2021 8:51PM

ND to Big 10, then Big 10 works with SEC? ** -- WestyHokie 08/26/2021 12:14PM

No we will not join the SEC. But we can and do work with them. -- goldendomer 08/25/2021 10:52PM

ACC/ND is a marriage of convenience. No point in getting -- mancunian 08/26/2021 08:58AM

Agreed, but not my point. ** -- Stech 08/25/2021 8:52PM

I said neither -- TerryD 08/25/2021 7:26PM

IF they join a conference (huge if) ND is a 100 times more likely .., -- ombandit 08/25/2021 8:12PM

Of course, we will join the Pac before the SEC ** -- goldendomer 08/25/2021 10:34PM

Wasn't talking about joining any conference -- TerryD 08/25/2021 8:43PM

You are right the ACC is/was delusional to think they would ever join, you -- Stech 08/25/2021 7:40PM

To be fair we work great with the SEC on select issues. But in general -- goldendomer 08/25/2021 7:09PM

Used to think that was true, but their recent actions are more SEC than ACC -- Stech 08/25/2021 7:14PM

Well one thing is for sure. We showed our commitment to football -- goldendomer 08/25/2021 10:52PM

To football yes, to the ACC, no. I wish it wasn’t that way, but it is. ** -- Stech 08/25/2021 7:25PM

I said it at the time. Letting ND be eligible for a football ACC -- Colonel Jessup 08/26/2021 12:09PM

What exactly do you believe...... -- 2hhoop3 08/26/2021 12:13PM

True. We should have just BYU in along with them -- Colonel Jessup 08/26/2021 12:24PM

No need for the.. -- 2hhoop3 08/26/2021 12:59PM

WRT the idea that Notre Dame can take an ACC's spot in the bowl game -- VTHokie2000 08/26/2021 2:22PM

Agree..... -- 2hhoop3 08/26/2021 2:47PM

I was okay with the ACC giving Notre Dame a lifeline last year because -- VTHokie2000 08/26/2021 2:59PM

Good luck with sticking it to ND -- VaTechHokiesACC 08/25/2021 6:57PM

I would give up ND games for more Big 10 & PAC 22 games. -- Atlee Hokie 08/26/2021 06:19AM

We should count our ND games as conference games -- Truthahn 08/26/2021 2:04PM

I don't believe that is allowed under the current bylaws given -- VTHokie2000 08/26/2021 3:04PM

Interesting that ND might play the B1G and PAC more now -- Truthahn 08/26/2021 3:20PM

Since there are only 3 conferences in the Alliance, I don't believe -- VTHokie2000 08/26/2021 3:34PM

Basketball isn't a factor in any of this and neither is Duke. ** -- VTHokieCub 08/25/2021 6:56PM

Folks need to get over this ND thing. They are good for ACC but will stay -- VTNSC 08/25/2021 6:11PM

Used to think that way, but it’s not true now, they partnered with the SEC -- Stech 08/25/2021 7:07PM

Are you basing your.... -- 2hhoop3 08/25/2021 7:30PM

I ask respectfully, what are you basing your comments on? -- Hokester 08/25/2021 10:48PM

I base my comments..... -- 2hhoop3 08/26/2021 08:32AM

That's exactly what ND was doing -- Atlee Hokie 08/26/2021 06:23AM

ND is not looking to harm ACC football -- TerryD 08/26/2021 11:46AM

I find your "ND is not looking to harm ACC football" comment interesting -- VTHokie2000 08/26/2021 12:18PM

6+ at large spots in a playoff improves chances of ACC harm -- Colonel Jessup 08/26/2021 12:18PM

I don't think ND's independence is the problem. -- Hokester 08/26/2021 11:58AM

As @TerryD will attest..... -- 2hhoop3 08/26/2021 12:23PM

When have I said ND was nefarious? -- Atlee Hokie 08/26/2021 11:44AM

I agree the ACC needs to look ... -- TerryD 08/26/2021 12:19PM

ND's motive re CFP to 12 is nefarious only if it knew of SEC plan to expand -- Hokester 08/26/2021 1:46PM

Sorry the parameters for aligning with the SEC are aligning with the SEC. -- Stech 08/25/2021 7:37PM

What are the issues where they aligned with the SEC at the expense of the -- seekoHoG 08/25/2021 7:59PM

Just answered that to 2hhoop3, read that post. ** -- Stech 08/25/2021 8:50PM

It wasn't a diversion.... -- 2hhoop3 08/25/2021 7:46PM

Thought I answered it succinctly, but absolutely nothing to do with OU & UT -- Stech 08/25/2021 7:51PM

You still haven't answered it....... -- 2hhoop3 08/25/2021 7:56PM

They worked with the SEC on the 12 playoff expansion, there were 2 big -- Stech 08/25/2021 8:47PM

You just repeated.. -- 2hhoop3 08/25/2021 9:10PM

I repeated the truth that you don’t want to hear, fine, I’m done with this -- Stech 08/25/2021 9:16PM

The truth is we found common ground with the SEC with the playoff -- goldendomer 08/25/2021 10:59PM

So what, exacty ? -- TerryD 08/25/2021 8:54PM

Not sure how or when this occurred. if its expansion of PO then ND was -- VTNSC 08/25/2021 7:13PM

Looking out for themselves, wish VT had that leverage ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 08/25/2021 7:34PM

Yeah, ACC doesn't have leverage. It's a good deal for both sides. There's -- reestuart 08/25/2021 6:58PM

This is business, not personal. Sounds like the Godfather Movies.* ** -- VTBoar 08/25/2021 6:52PM

Yes - they definitely add value ** -- HokieMJL 08/25/2021 6:42PM

The ACC's special relationship with Notre Dame may have just as many -- VTHokie2000 08/25/2021 6:37PM

Sounds emotional, not strategic... -- jesuisvtguy 08/25/2021 5:58PM

There are a series of ND/ACC contracts through 2036 -- TerryD 08/25/2021 6:06PM

Most people, at least decision makers, realize the arrangements we have -- wwhokie1 08/26/2021 10:58AM

ND helps the ACC, why would you ignore them? -- HokieAl 08/25/2021 5:18PM

I think that if they want to stay independent, they need to play the same -- Victor Tango 08/25/2021 5:06PM

Those other games (USC, Stanford) are annual ND opponents -- TerryD 08/25/2021 5:48PM

Glad you are not the commissioner, you would make a lot of schools angry. ** -- wwhokie1 08/25/2021 4:53PM

I stop any replay of the JS Documentary on the ACC Network -- 133193Hokie 08/25/2021 4:41PM

Not for football. -- Atlee Hokie 08/25/2021 5:18PM

It will be interesting to see how the ACC members react if/when -- VTHokie2000 08/25/2021 6:40PM

After 2036? -- TerryD 08/25/2021 7:31PM

It could be an issue if the Alliance is truly serious about working -- VTHokie2000 08/25/2021 9:36PM
