I think that withing 4 years, P5 vs non P5 will probably be limited

I remember when D1A schools could play 3 D1AA. Great we kept our rivalries with W&M, UR and VMI. Then it is just 1 D1AA a year, then once every 3 years, then one a year again.

I think shortly the P5 conferences will be insisting that you play only 1 non P5 game a year, perhaps banishing FCS games entirely like the B1G did.

If you want 30 mil a year from the conference, you have to offer something better the VT-Liberty or UVA-Richmond to a national audience.

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

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
