Wow Teel's story has been picked up by media all over the ACC. -- HOO86 06/09/2016 4:35PM
This is the point in the conversation where I say..."I told you so"... -- CobbCountyHokie 06/09/2016 3:41PM
I think the B1G taught us this quite a while ago. -- lawhokie 06/10/2016 08:11AM
Except the ACC tried to go to 9 games a few years back. -- crabcake77 06/10/2016 08:27AM
That's because the ACC could not make a compelling argument... -- lawhokie 06/10/2016 09:01AM
It will cost FSU a 7th home game some yrs, worth millions. ** -- chuckd4vt 06/10/2016 3:29PM
If it was just about extra home game revenue, then why -- crabcake77 06/10/2016 4:22PM
Are you saying FSU has to share its home game revenues -- crabcake77 06/10/2016 12:31PM
If ACC expands then Who? -- BigCrumpy 06/09/2016 3:57PM
Well, if I am answering that question, I look at the following -- CobbCountyHokie 06/09/2016 4:31PM
So that would put us back in the Big East (without UM) -- IB4TECH 06/09/2016 9:26PM
Bring on Fordham -- Tailgate Guru 06/09/2016 4:42PM
The ACC needs to do what is in the best interest of the 14 -- hokie4ever 06/09/2016 2:08PM
This and kill the dedicated cross over game and we are in business. ** -- Mr. Touchdown 06/09/2016 1:57PM
Agree, but that would require realignment to North-South. ** -- Hokie CPA 06/09/2016 6:03PM
That would be great and is the right move. Can't have 14 teams and only -- hokiesrule98 06/09/2016 1:52PM
I would be happy with 8 games if we could drop our crossover rival -- EDGEMAN 06/09/2016 1:11PM
Unlike everyone else in the conference, our Xover Rival is Poop -- BigCrumpy 06/09/2016 4:00PM
Both: 9 games and no cross-over. Please and thank you. -- Roanokie 06/09/2016 2:32PM
No way the ACC gives up an annual FSU-Miami game. -- gman86 06/09/2016 5:00PM
No way the ACC gives up an annual FSU-Miami game. -- gman86 06/09/2016 4:59PM
They wouldn't. They would realign North-South. -- Hokie CPA 06/09/2016 9:24PM
Re: They wouldn't. They would realign North-South. -- 1400E 06/10/2016 09:34AM
In the end, it's not up to us. -- Hokie CPA 06/11/2016 10:49PM
You left out Loserville from your list. I assume they would -- RJHokie 06/09/2016 9:13PM
Corrected above, Thanks! Yes, Louiseville goes in the North. ** -- Hokie CPA 06/09/2016 9:26PM
Unless our xover is someone worth while ** -- BigCrumpy 06/09/2016 4:04PM
Some of those rivals are very important to those schools. -- East Cobb Hokie 06/09/2016 2:49PM
I agree 100%. If UVA was our crossover, would kill to keep it. -- EDGEMAN 06/09/2016 3:47PM
It's coming. :-) ** -- Stech 06/09/2016 12:26PM
I agree as well as dropping FCS games. Eventually most top tier -- seekoHoG 06/09/2016 1:04PM
VT has already been proactive in that area -- BigCrumpy 06/10/2016 09:31AM
If there was a split, the hoops tournament could go with them. -- East Cobb Hokie 06/09/2016 2:42PM
If true then we will not be joining for sure... Oh boy the explosion -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 12:29PM
There is no way the ACC will allow 9 to be the sticking point -- daveinop 06/09/2016 9:40PM
Oddly, a 16 team league would require only 7 conference games. ** -- chuckd4vt 06/09/2016 4:51PM
Bingo Chuck! ** -- Stech 06/09/2016 9:41PM
It's crazy that people don't seem to understand this. -- Gobbler-100 06/10/2016 01:26AM
With 9 home games you can play the whole conference -- crabcake77 06/10/2016 12:38PM
Double Bingo Gobbler-100! ** -- Stech 06/10/2016 07:42AM
The ACC cannot make football decisions based on what ND -- hokieone 06/09/2016 2:53PM
Sorry but first and foremost ND is an ACC school -- BigCrumpy 06/09/2016 4:02PM
They most certainly are... -- hokieone 06/09/2016 4:24PM
Totally agree with this -- TerryD 06/09/2016 2:56PM
Recall that CFB teams are chosen by a committee -- East Cobb Hokie 06/09/2016 2:38PM
Our rich donors? Cost of doing business. Fan-base would -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 2:47PM
IMO such a requirement would also require CCG winners -- East Cobb Hokie 06/09/2016 2:54PM
CCG only would have to include G-5 access which -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 3:04PM
Present deal does not really provide G5 access to CFP -- East Cobb Hokie 06/09/2016 3:15PM
With us attached to it that would strengthen there position ** -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 3:17PM
My this has somehow turned into another ND thread. It's not, it's about -- Stech 06/09/2016 12:38PM
We can agree on that(Not happening), but the move to nine games -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 12:41PM
The offer of 7 is on the table right now : ) another possible driver -- daveinop 06/10/2016 07:35AM
Nice avoiding of the question...by doing that, I know where you stand. ** -- Stech 06/09/2016 12:44PM
Not avoiding I disagree with your premise -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 12:52PM
The other "options" all have 9 games too unless you want to join SEC ** -- 4x4hokies 06/09/2016 8:00PM
Yes our admin has stated we would join if it is made clear we can't access -- Stech 06/09/2016 1:07PM
If the ACC would change the number of games just because of our entrance -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 1:29PM
Not the ACC. It would be the P5 changing season to 13 games from 12. ** -- HOO86 06/09/2016 1:41PM
I was talking about conference games. ** -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 1:48PM
Yes, but STECH was talking about total games. -- HOO86 06/09/2016 1:58PM
I doubt 13 will come with all the concussions and health -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 2:05PM
Re: Not avoiding I disagree with your premise -- SoCloseHokie 06/09/2016 12:57PM
SEC and ACC are only P5 conferences not doing 9-game schedules. ** -- VTBB 06/09/2016 1:02PM
IMO we would go Big East if we felt forced, othewise yes we may try -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 12:58PM
I don't want to force Notre Dame to join the ACC. -- Maroon Doom 06/09/2016 1:44PM
Re: IMO we would go Big East if we felt forced, othewise yes we may try -- SoCloseHokie 06/09/2016 1:10PM
If you do not join then you've probably expienced your last national FC -- BigCrumpy 06/09/2016 12:33PM
Cool with that -- TerryD 06/09/2016 2:45PM
I always want to compete for Championships, but 9 games -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 1:56PM
So be it, wouldn't care at that point. ** -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 12:35PM
The only thing worse than losing independence is losing relevance -- daveinop 06/09/2016 9:13PM
If you think ND is going to give up tier 1 college football...4get about it ** -- Stech 06/09/2016 12:42PM
Yes, we would join the Big East if need be, that is not the hill the admin -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 12:54PM
IF true, I can only hope the ACC Council of Presidents knows this -- East Cobb Hokie 06/09/2016 3:21PM
Fixed Whit's problem for him :) -- gman86 06/09/2016 11:57AM
Maybe I should come work for Chris... -- gman86 06/09/2016 4:18PM
Those 2020 and 2021 schedules are great from a fan perspective -- Hokie Bird 06/09/2016 12:44PM
As I recall, ND wouldn't be in favor of a 9 game conference slate -- corvt2000 06/09/2016 09:25AM
ND wants 3 or 5 junk teams to beat up on -- BigCrumpy 06/09/2016 12:34PM
Lol... Want up vote for the comedy of it. Can't though ** -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 3:49PM
Lol...yeah, you are right...here they are -- TerryD 06/09/2016 2:51PM
ND won't join unless they lose access to the playoff. Why bring them up? -- Stech 06/09/2016 12:23PM
Isn't every thread REALLLLY about Notre Dame? (tic) ** -- Calamitous 06/09/2016 12:39PM
ND brought up by a Tech fan..... -- TerryD 06/09/2016 1:44PM
That's correct. It's not your fault or domers that it went that direction, ** -- Stech 06/09/2016 9:39PM
They already lost access to the playoffs, they just don't know it ** -- BigCrumpy 06/09/2016 12:35PM
So did about 115- or so other schools -- TerryD 06/09/2016 2:46PM
Which is why they won't join -- Victor Tango 06/09/2016 09:37AM
Forget Navy -- BigCrumpy 06/09/2016 12:36PM
One more reason, not the main one -- TerryD 06/09/2016 10:49AM
This has nothing to do with Notre Dame, -- Maroon Doom 06/09/2016 09:54AM
ND will never join unless they have to anyway.... -- Mr. Touchdown 06/09/2016 10:52AM
Re: This has nothing to do with Notre Dame, -- SAMMYNOLE 06/09/2016 10:13AM
I'm not a fan of the arrangement either. -- Old Line Hokie 06/09/2016 10:56AM
Gene Corrigan pushed for the current agreement 25 years ago. -- HOO86 06/09/2016 11:18AM
Agreed, I think this is a short term arrangement. ** -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 10:59AM
I can see Notre Dame back in the Big East after 2027. -- Old Line Hokie 06/09/2016 11:11AM
I have shifted on this and I think our leadership will also -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 11:41AM
Re: I have shifted on this and I think our leadership will also -- SoCloseHokie 06/09/2016 12:24PM
ND will do whatever it takes to keep football indy -- TerryD 06/09/2016 12:28PM
Re: ND will do whatever it takes to keep football indy -- SoCloseHokie 06/09/2016 12:49PM
We do love the ACC, I just think the ACC will eventually want -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 12:27PM
It depends on the ACC leadership..... -- Old Line Hokie 06/09/2016 1:34PM
You maybe right, it depends on how much the market changes -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 1:46PM
Status quo ** -- TerryD 06/09/2016 10:50AM
I agree with you, but we have 10 yrs left on this contract. ** -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 10:30AM
We would never vote for 9 games and likely make us fight -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 09:31AM
I understand your perspective but there is truly nothing to fight -- daveinop 06/09/2016 09:46AM
We won't be joining in the next 10 yrs either way, now if you expand to 9 -- goldendomer 06/09/2016 10:02AM
If we went to 16 we would have reboot the schedules anyway. -- corvt2000 06/09/2016 09:42AM
Anyone know the ECU series buyout? ** -- Colonel Jessup 06/09/2016 07:59AM
ODU needs to go. ** -- Stork 06/09/2016 09:29AM
It's a 2 for 1 as I recall.** -- East Cobb Hokie 06/09/2016 2:56PM
2017/2018/2019 is a 2-for-1 series. However, 2024/2025/2026/2027 -- VTHokie2000 06/09/2016 5:45PM
I think the ACC needs to follow BIG and ban FCS games -- BigCrumpy 06/09/2016 07:57AM
100% agree, they have no value to the network or to fans who buy tickets. ** -- Mr. Touchdown 06/09/2016 10:53AM
For this to come up now -- hokieone 06/09/2016 07:30AM
Coming up now only because Teel chose to speculate/opine on it now...again -- marcbvtgm 06/09/2016 08:13AM
Too much effort in the article to be guessing, imo. what i find interesting -- daveinop 06/09/2016 09:33AM
It doesn't really seem like all THAT much effort was put into the article -- GusDaMan 06/09/2016 10:32AM
Concur. Pretty easy to connect the dots lately ** -- ren_hoek 06/09/2016 07:38AM
The $ needs to offset losing a home game every other year -- ren_hoek 06/09/2016 06:40AM
Teams like Duke, Wake, BC don't have that issue.... -- Mr. Touchdown 06/09/2016 11:00AM
If this is a pre-requisite for a good conference network, that rev -- GusDaMan 06/09/2016 10:25AM
