ACC Going to 9 Games for Football?

[HtownOrange]

So you want the NC teams to play 17 games in a season? 13 regular season, 1 conference title game, QF, SF, Final?
Any idea of expansion of the CFB playoff should require a reduction of regular season games to 11 or atleast require that no further expansion of the regular season be part of the deal.

No chance an 85 scholarship team would have enough depth or even should ask 18-21 year old college athletes who aren't paid to play that many games in a season with all the injury risk.

Right now the NC teams play 15 games which is a lot. Adding 2 more games of collisions would be selfish.Expanding the schedule isn't going to happen with player safety becoming a higher importance.

3 of the 5 major conferences play 9 conference games now there isn't going to be an expanded schedule because Florida-Florida State-Clemson-South Carolina and Georgia-Georgia Tech have annual rivalries and want OOC flexibility. Either fix these problems or deal with the status quo.

The kids receive an education, they are not playing for free.
The pros have less depth and play 16 regular season games. Plus playoffs.
The P5 or the entire D1 can increase Tema size.
The FCS already plays a full season and put.

Personally, it does not matter to me. However, TV wants more games and the schools want more money, there is a viable solution.

An education is not the same as a salary.
The pros are employees and collectively bargain for their season size. College kids are not employees and don't bargain for anything.
Increasing the roster size would be helpful but let's see it happen.
The FCS schedule is 11 games not 12 games that 1 less game matters. The Championship game teams in FCS play 15 games and the Championship teams in FBS play 15 games.

A 13 game regular season would be a joke for college athletes. It would be like the NFL owners who are pushing for 18 games and are being rebuked by the players.

Good points on both sides. Let's make sure we use this thread to debate the 9 games issue. If you want to focus on the play-for-pay issue, feel free to start another thread. Thanks.
