What's this?

Expansion will happen, sure, but where will the money and slots go?

The 12 team version should be rejected by the ACC, because it would be bad, long-term, for us, with everything going to the SEC/ND/Big 10. If we roll over now, we will have no chance. Why Bowlsby is for it, I don't understand. He has more to lose than we do, IMO. The Big 12 recovered well, but they are still basically a cross between the old American and the old Big 12. He should be leading this charge, not just the ACC.

Both the ACC and the Big 12 (and Pac 12 and G5) need something that spreads the wealth and the slots around. Hopefully, the Alliance is focused on that, and will soon pick up the Big 12 to help out.

Where I am really worried, though, is about the Big 10. They may cave in if they think they can partner with the SEC to divide the playoffs up. The 12 team playoff with one small change, might be very attractive to the Big 10. Just limit the number of at-large teams to two per conference, and the Big 10 might bet on getting three teams in the playoffs every year.

That really is a BS timeline -- EDGEMAN 01/20/2022 2:17PM

No question there. -- RJHokie 01/20/2022 6:13PM

Sounds like this Transfer Portal is really causing issues. -- HOO86 01/19/2022 3:54PM

There should be financial incentives to stay at the school. Let me give you -- Maroon Baboon 01/20/2022 5:05PM

Let the receiving school lose two scholarships for each transfer. -- Truthahn 01/21/2022 9:34PM

Totally agree with premise, but -- RTFC 01/20/2022 12:56PM

I wouldn't disagree that many get bad advice. ** -- anotherdamnyankeehokie 01/20/2022 07:34AM

It's called bad parenting. The kids need regimentation and we're not -- IB4TECH 01/19/2022 6:34PM

While I agree player safety should be a paramount concern a lot of this is -- goldendomer 01/19/2022 09:56AM

It will expand, it's about the new rules set up first, using the # of games -- Stech 01/19/2022 12:57PM

Expansion will happen, sure, but where will the money and slots go? -- Truthahn 01/19/2022 12:47PM

If players are indeed saying they don't want more games then -- Hokester 01/19/2022 10:23AM

You mean there are people out there that put the "kids" first? I'm shocked! -- Stech 01/19/2022 07:08AM

Do you really believe that propaganda? -- TerryD 01/19/2022 10:25AM

Has the Alliance proposed anything yet? -- Truthahn 01/20/2022 12:13PM

Swofford tried to get the rule changed about Conf. Champion. -- HOO86 01/19/2022 3:59PM

I remember that very well -- EDGEMAN 01/20/2022 09:08AM

Oh the naive days of yore when our existence was not threatened by the SEC -- Truthahn 01/20/2022 12:17PM

Hopefully this gets changed -- Millpoint 01/20/2022 09:16AM

Swofford is an Angel from heaven too? -- TerryD 01/19/2022 6:24PM

Zing! ** -- IB4TECH 01/19/2022 3:35PM

I don't see kids playing too many games as propaganda, getting an education -- Stech 01/19/2022 12:26PM

I don't either. -- TerryD 01/19/2022 1:48PM

So why are they doing it, what are they getting out of it? ** -- Stech 01/19/2022 2:16PM

Yep... sums it up Terry, I agree. ** -- goldendomer 01/20/2022 12:06AM

They get to act like they care. WHen in reality all other movements -- goldendomer 01/19/2022 2:29PM

I thought you're one of the people that didn't want more games, wanted kids -- Stech 01/19/2022 5:05PM

I want less games, but I am a realist. Money, money money. -- goldendomer 01/20/2022 12:12AM

You are for equal or less games, unless it threatens Independence, right? ** -- Stech 01/20/2022 07:37AM

Nothing is going to threaten independence at this point. So the amount -- goldendomer 01/20/2022 11:46AM

How about a P-5 break away? Read the SI article above, you and TerryD have -- Stech 01/20/2022 7:16PM

I never said no breakaway either -- TerryD 01/21/2022 12:27AM

More recently you have been saying all of that, and I understand why. -- Stech 01/21/2022 07:47AM

The ACC is unlikely to survive long term -- TerryD 01/21/2022 09:05AM

Did I say no way to the breakaway? May be I did and don't remember -- goldendomer 01/20/2022 11:57PM

I oppose anything that threatens independence -- TerryD 01/20/2022 11:21AM

While you may be right, Phillips is the new sheriff in town. -- Hokester 01/19/2022 10:55AM

I don't see Phillips as unilateral. I believe he's truly getting input. -- HOO86 01/19/2022 4:07PM
