Well that's a different issue. But it does sometimes happen.

VT has forgone 7 games this year and next in order to play lucrative neutral sight games. I'll take that too. THAT would be really tougher if we had an extra conference game. That would especially be true for Clemson and FSU.

But I'm not on board for one for ones w/ ECU. Can't blame that on Greensboro, but we're locked in. I would NEVER approve trips to Marshall or ODU either. IIWII. But the conference shouldn't make it tougher on us.

ACC fall meeting concluded. -- HOO86 10/06/2016 2:17PM

Saw on Twitter than 8+1, vs 8+2/9+1 option was a $500K delta per school -- East Cobb Hokie 10/07/2016 2:02PM

Wow. Getting out of hand. SOMEBODY sit down and figure out good scheds. -- chuckd4vt 10/08/2016 12:25AM

But still, that means 7M per year (500K*14). seems awfully high number -- GusDaMan 10/07/2016 3:58PM

I thyink ACC should hold out for more $$$ for 8+2/9+1. ** -- East Cobb Hokie 10/07/2016 5:23PM

They really know nothing about running a fball conference. -- chuckd4vt 10/06/2016 7:41PM

You know who knows a lot less? ** -- marcbvtgm 10/07/2016 3:35PM

I'm on record w/ calling out their poor decisions the last dozen years. -- chuckd4vt 10/07/2016 7:19PM

The schools made this decision, not Swofford. -- Maroon Doom 10/08/2016 12:00PM

And only in your world have you been correct. ** -- marcbvtgm 10/08/2016 11:31AM

Insult all ya want, proof is there for any objective observer to see. -- chuckd4vt 10/07/2016 7:17PM

Fare? ** -- BROman Hokie 10/07/2016 09:57AM

I'm a farely poor speller. ** -- chuckd4vt 10/07/2016 1:29PM

Do you think it's possible they have more info than we do? ** -- East Cobb Hokie 10/07/2016 09:55AM

Sure, but results speak for themselves. ACC schools earn less money. -- chuckd4vt 10/07/2016 1:32PM

Check back in around 2019. I'll bet they're not leaving $$ on the table. ** -- marcbvtgm 10/07/2016 3:36PM

IF we're close to even in 19, big IF, we're already tens of millions behind -- chuckd4vt 10/08/2016 12:26AM

Except we don't play 7 home games any longer. -- Atlee Hokie 10/07/2016 06:49AM

Well that's a different issue. But it does sometimes happen. -- chuckd4vt 10/07/2016 09:21AM

I think that withing 4 years, P5 vs non P5 will probably be limited -- BigCrumpy 10/07/2016 10:24AM

SEC schools do well with 3 cream puffs on their schedule. ** -- chuckd4vt 10/07/2016 1:30PM

That's why it's a shame that going division-less was voted down... -- Calamitous 10/06/2016 7:55PM

You can't alternate every year. Must be every two years. -- Atlee Hokie 10/07/2016 06:52AM

Which is why you rotate divisions every 2 years. Mix it up a little. -- chuckd4vt 10/06/2016 10:44PM

Crazy thing is, ACC has some fball programs to work with. -- chuckd4vt 10/06/2016 7:43PM

Very disappointed in the schedule decision... -- Mr. Touchdown 10/06/2016 4:54PM

Baseball at Slugger Field might actually bring in better... -- Old Line Hokie 10/06/2016 3:23PM

Gwinnett, GA has a new AAA stadium -- mrcaniac 10/07/2016 02:08AM

Good point, throw in Norfolk and Durham (Guess Duke plays here?) which are -- jmanatVT 10/07/2016 10:27AM

So lacrosse is OK, but not football...OK ** -- RTFC 10/06/2016 2:24PM

It's the neutral site championships that are affected. Duke is -- RJHokie 10/06/2016 4:13PM

And that makes a difference in principal... how? ** -- RTFC 10/06/2016 9:36PM

Duke is a private school? -- mrcaniac 10/07/2016 01:43AM

Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte is private - worse on campus if wrong ** -- RTFC 10/09/2016 09:44AM

Has nothing to do with it. It's called selective moral outrage. -- Atlee Hokie 10/07/2016 06:47AM

Well that's a different issue. But it does sometimes happen.
