Swabrick seems "all in" for independence -- TerryD 04/22/2016 07:44AM Re: Swabrick seems -- SoCloseHokie 04/22/2016 09:20AM Sounds like Notre Dame football independence for a long time. -- Old Line Hokie 04/21/2016 3:40PM Yep. ACC should plan on this never happening at this point. -- chuckd4vt 04/22/2016 7:48PM Rumors are possible home/home series with LSU and Alabama -- TerryD 04/21/2016 11:22AM Kelley wants to play more sec teams ** -- Mercury 04/21/2016 6:14PM Re: Kelley wants to play more sec teams -- SoCloseHokie 04/22/2016 10:20AM ND won't join ACC unless REPEATEDLY snubbed by CFP committee. -- Maroon Baboon 04/21/2016 09:24AM This is why the ACC has to expand by 2, 4, or 6 schools. -- hokie4ever 04/21/2016 3:41PM I tend to agree. An ACC-BigXII merger of sorts could be great. -- Maroon Baboon 04/22/2016 10:08AM In your example of encouraging Texas Tech going to the Pac-12 -- VTHokie2000 04/22/2016 11:03AM The Pac might be more interested in TT is they have no shot at Texas -- Maroon Baboon 04/22/2016 12:17PM You are assuming though that the Pac-12's position is that it -- VTHokie2000 04/22/2016 11:50AM Sure. Pac12 can have the pick of the litter. Other than Texas of course. -- Maroon Baboon 04/22/2016 12:20PM If the other 3 conferences don't take some schools off the ACC's hands -- VTHokie2000 04/22/2016 2:46PM Agree. I do think the SEC would take NCState and VT in a heartbeat. -- Maroon Baboon 04/22/2016 3:04PM Even 22 members might be too much -- VTHokie2000 04/22/2016 3:30PM 22 could work this way. 4 5-team pods and 2 floaters. -- Maroon Baboon 04/22/2016 5:50PM Can everyone play the same number of conference -- VTHokie2000 04/22/2016 7:41PM Under this plan, there would be 11 teams in each division. -- Maroon Baboon 04/23/2016 02:16AM Would likely have to go to a P4 to get them to join. ** -- daveinop 04/21/2016 09:33AM Creating a P4 has its own difficulties.... -- lawhokie 04/21/2016 10:55AM Challenges no doubt, but hardly insurmountable. one simple way -- daveinop 04/21/2016 4:12PM P4 with a promotion/relegation system would be interesting -- RTFC 04/21/2016 3:11PM A potential drawback to promotion/relegation is that -- VTHokie2000 04/21/2016 4:16PM Posted under wrong thread.** -- Stech 04/21/2016 12:56PM Is the P4 still a tough sale if a group of schools (i.e. 64 for easy math) -- VTHokie2000 04/21/2016 11:50AM I think it will be a nightmare. -- lawhokie 04/21/2016 9:58PM I wasn't necessarily assuming you pick the 64 at the same time -- VTHokie2000 04/22/2016 11:30AM In other words, the Irish have no interest in joining a conference ** -- lawhokie 04/21/2016 08:45AM VT's doing the same thing...it doesn't mean we don't want to be in a conf. -- Stech 04/21/2016 12:56PM Just adds to nbc acc/nd hosted network -- Mercury 04/22/2016 06:06AM "Our 12 better compare with anybody's 13." -- lawhokie 04/21/2016 10:04PM Absolutely correct ** -- TerryD 04/22/2016 12:03PM I don't think ND needs to join the ACC, nor do I believe the ACC needs ND -- Bashful Baron 04/21/2016 09:37AM VT is independent for 4 football games a year. ** -- crabcake77 04/21/2016 1:54PM Yeah! We get to play ND much more often than FSU and Clemson -- FlyFishingHokie 04/21/2016 09:46AM Shocking... isn't it? ** -- Calamitous 04/21/2016 09:10AM I bet Michigan, Alabama, TCU, Oklahoma -- HOO86 04/20/2016 8:04PM That and conference championships count either way...they will still need -- Stech 04/20/2016 8:15PM Not sure making the schedule harder helps the undefeated cause. Who knows? ** -- HOO86 04/20/2016 8:37PM I'll bet NBC is pleased. ** -- IB4TECH 04/20/2016 9:30PM NBC doesn't have any post season coverage to worry if ND makes CFP or not. ** -- HOO86 04/21/2016 09:57AM And I see that as a big gamble. ** -- IB4TECH 04/20/2016 8:23PM It's actually the opposite - take the guaranteed cash -- lawhokie 04/21/2016 09:04AM They would be fools to join the ACC right now... they'd likely lose money ** -- Calamitous 04/21/2016 09:11AM How so if there is no adjustment to any of their contracts? -- HOO86 04/21/2016 11:30AM Even without adjustments.... -- Calamitous 04/21/2016 3:57PM Why does the ACC have to? ND can keep the NBC contract for home games. ** -- HOO86 04/21/2016 4:44PM We would lose money because of donations to the school and other streams -- goldendomer 04/21/2016 12:02PM Refusing to support the school in protest over 3 games is delusional. -- HOO86 04/21/2016 1:17PM Go to an ND ALumni board and you will see this exact train of thought -- goldendomer 04/21/2016 1:41PM I know there are those that think that way. -- HOO86 04/21/2016 2:25PM This is an extremely important thing to ND alumni/fans -- TerryD 04/21/2016 2:25PM They are fine with that.... ** -- goldendomer 04/20/2016 8:22PM Maybe some are now, but I have to believe it will wear on them. ND is ND -- Stech 04/21/2016 07:04AM Recruits want to play for championships. -- crabcake77 04/21/2016 08:28AM Apparently not. They deny that to their players. Always been that way. -- HOO86 04/21/2016 11:27AM Thats my point. -- crabcake77 04/21/2016 1:07PM What about the other 99% of schools that won't sniff playoffs? -- TerryD 04/21/2016 2:28PM MOST of those don't have a fan base that ACTUALLY expects it either ** -- RTFC 04/21/2016 3:02PM They have the opportunity to win a Conference Championship. -- HOO86 04/21/2016 2:39PM Is the 5 game rule in perpetuity -- Mercury 04/21/2016 07:22AM It is 60 games through 2027. 5 per season give or take. -- HOO86 04/21/2016 11:16AM They are full members in non-FB sports and fully subject to the exit fee -- ren_hoek 04/21/2016 12:45PM TCU no...The point I'm making is more future dates will be filling up with -- goldendomer 04/20/2016 8:13PM They seem OK to not compete for Championship but once per quarter century. -- HOO86 04/20/2016 8:32PM Re: They seem OK to not compete for Championship but once per quarter century. -- TerryD 04/21/2016 11:29AM Cuz ND is so anti-establishment. -- crabcake77 04/21/2016 1:22PM ND is against "One size fits all" cookie cutter conference.... -- TerryD 04/21/2016 2:35PM No worries ACC. I think he means any conference with a "size". As in 10,12 ** -- SeaBlue 04/22/2016 9:51PM There's nothing one size fits all or cookie cutter about the ACC. ** -- crabcake77 04/22/2016 11:51AM I understand that completely -- RTFC 04/21/2016 11:54AM I know. I've seen you say it other places. Welcome to this board. -- HOO86 04/21/2016 11:33AM Why would you assume that Notre Dame would win any conference? -- lawhokie 04/21/2016 09:01AM Can't argue with most of your logic -- RTFC 04/21/2016 09:42AM They got their title shot in 2012 as an Indy.. -- lawhokie 04/21/2016 10:48AM The answer to your last question -- RTFC 04/21/2016 11:28AM Notre Dame absolutely would not have to go undefeated... -- lawhokie 04/22/2016 08:01AM Might land them in the top 4 at the close of the regular season. -- crabcake77 04/25/2016 09:27AM I have no problem with ND being independent. -- Maroon Doom 04/20/2016 9:03PMTech Sideline is Presented By:
