What's this?

I agree completely that something has to be done by Swofford & Co. to ...

... to maximize the number of visits of Clemson and FSU in particular, as well as others to Lane and vice versa. The ACCN and ACCDN both need good content, not just any old content.

A F$U vs VT game or Clemson vs Miami game is miles better than Wake vs Duke, or for that matter, Wake against anyone.

AJC reporting the ACC may vote on the 9 game schedule on a -- Femoyer Hokie 08/07/2016 09:37AM

That doesn't bode well for ND's full membership prospects -- I85Hokie 08/08/2016 10:07AM

ND isn't joining the ACC at any time, so it doesn't matter. ** -- Atlee Hokie 08/10/2016 2:50PM

Need to make decisions based on best interest of ACC, not ND. A 9 game -- hokiesrule98 08/10/2016 12:50PM

One nit....ND has never played an FCS team -- TerryD 08/08/2016 2:08PM

Don't have 9 Conference Games. -- HOO86 08/08/2016 12:35PM

Would like to add... -- EDGEMAN 08/08/2016 4:49PM

THAT's similar to what I'm suggesting. ** -- chuckd4vt 08/10/2016 12:38AM

Yuck, that would be awful... -- BROman Hokie 08/08/2016 2:44PM

This does not matter to ND -- East Cobb Hokie 08/08/2016 11:13AM

And I'm sure the ACC would work out something for ND... -- EDGEMAN 08/08/2016 12:00PM

Re: That doesn't bode well for ND's full membership prospects -- tupton79 08/08/2016 10:15AM

From a Clemson perspective, -- ren_hoek 08/08/2016 07:16AM

Does Clemson really need another OOC game other than USC? -- I85Hokie 08/08/2016 10:22AM

Yes, very much so -- ren_hoek 08/08/2016 2:38PM

Clemson has had 2 P5 games every year since at least 2009 ** -- GusDaMan 08/08/2016 12:11PM

I'm all for 9 conference games, plus at least 1 P5 OOC -- EDGEMAN 08/07/2016 8:00PM

We shouldn't do anything based on what ND might want IMHO... -- Mr. Touchdown 08/08/2016 10:06AM

second the motion. discussion: enough catering to part-timers; only full -- HtownHokie 08/08/2016 3:31PM

I for one will applaud if they chose 9. ** -- goldendomer 08/07/2016 6:02PM

I guess it's too much to ask to have both. 9 ACC, 2 P5 OOC. -- Maroon Baboon 08/07/2016 6:01PM

One or the other will pass; I'm sure this was part of the prior discussion -- daveinop 08/07/2016 1:05PM

I like 8-2 if one of the 2 can be an ACC Atlantic Division opponent. -- HOO86 08/08/2016 12:30PM

If 8-2 is adopted, I think those will be the considerations/reasons ** -- daveinop 08/08/2016 2:38PM

9 conference games is a no brainer. -- Maroon Doom 08/07/2016 5:33PM

Then Whit is an idiot because he voted "no" on it last time -- marcbvtgm 08/08/2016 07:41AM

It is possible that Whit is in favor of playing a 9-game conference -- VTHokie2000 08/08/2016 3:57PM

With the right conditions, you could get any of the "no's" to vote "yes" -- marcbvtgm 08/08/2016 9:20PM

It is possible that the ACC may not have much of a choice. -- VTHokie2000 08/09/2016 11:59AM

Maybe, but then ESPN loses CU-USC, UF-FSU, UGa-GA, UL-UK -- marcbvtgm 08/09/2016 1:07PM

I believe in years when the SEC is the home team, then CBS -- VTHokie2000 08/09/2016 4:05PM

There is a pecking order, but they can't show all of them ** -- marcbvtgm 08/09/2016 8:54PM

True 1 network can't show all the ACC-SEC games during Rivalry Week -- VTHokie2000 08/10/2016 11:28AM

Do you think it would be easier for 9 or 10 teams -- Maroon Doom 08/08/2016 11:36AM

Was referring to the no-brainer comment. It's not. Didn't read the article -- marcbvtgm 08/08/2016 12:59PM

i agree 110% with your last paragraph; big10 eyeing VT? nah! Whit has -- HtownHokie 08/08/2016 3:43PM

It is no doubt easier but it puts FSU, GT, Clemson, and UL in a box. Pitt -- daveinop 08/07/2016 6:15PM

Agree one should pass - not sure about 8:2 vs 9 -- CivilHokie 08/07/2016 2:22PM

+++ ** -- daveinop 08/07/2016 2:33PM

Easier to schedule 9 conference games ** -- nebraskafaninwi 08/07/2016 11:29AM

Link inside -- Femoyer Hokie 08/07/2016 09:41AM

Is anyone EVER going to consider rotating divisions? -- chuckd4vt 08/07/2016 11:02PM

Clemson has played 8+2 for at least the last 10 years or so -- GusDaMan 08/08/2016 12:09PM

Missed the point. At 9 games, Clemson would struggle w/ OOC. -- chuckd4vt 08/08/2016 2:28PM

It isn't about a better rotation, it is about increasing inventory... -- Mr. Touchdown 08/08/2016 10:14AM

It would be ridiculous to not consider quality of matchups as well. -- chuckd4vt 08/08/2016 2:25PM

But ESPN certainly wants more VT vs. FSU than VT vs. BC. ** -- chuckd4vt 08/08/2016 2:23PM

If you had read anything Domer and Terry has said, -- Maroon Doom 08/08/2016 05:57AM

When this all shakes out, lesser required games will be BIG ** -- chuckd4vt 08/08/2016 2:22PM

Miami and F$U want to play each other every year. -- Atlee Hokie 08/08/2016 05:42AM

Miami would have 2 Coastal titles by now w/ Duke's crossover opp. -- chuckd4vt 08/08/2016 2:32PM

You are missing the point. It's not about fairness. -- Atlee Hokie 08/09/2016 10:27PM

Nobody is suggesting they do not play. -- chuckd4vt 08/10/2016 12:37AM

I agree completely that something has to be done by Swofford & Co. to ... -- Atlee Hokie 08/10/2016 2:48PM

Both schools & The ACC were hoping they would meet -- seekoHoG 08/08/2016 1:36PM
