Clemson and FSU must give us 2 5* kids a year for the next 10, and we'll vote for 8 games

I'd gladly give up a 5* kid for a 8 game Syracuse vote. We're supposed to be in this together.

If ESPN and the ACC were to expand the pool of schools deemed to qualify as meeting P-5 compatible opponents then 8+2 stands a bigger chance of passing. The SEC considers BYU games to count toward their P-5 requirement. The ACC does not not.

If BYU, the service academies and a couple of other schools were to count, as well as possibly reaching a compromise on the +2 requirement (lowering it to +1.5 or +1-2/3) then most would be happy. ESPN would lose out on 3-4 games per year so they may not agree. It's easy to say "just go 8+2", but the number of available P-5 games is just too small.

Just have ACC schools schedule intra-conference non-conference games. If Wake-UNC, Duke-NC State, Miami-SU, Pitt-BC want to play each other more frequently just make them non-conference games.

Indiana-Purdue did it in basketball years ago when they were scheduled to just play 1 time in conference play.

9 conference games is a non-starter for Clemson and Florida State.

Apparently, someone is coming on SiriusXM College Sports in about 10 minutes to discuss the ACC Network. Not sure if I'm going to be able to listen in.
