Huh? 2+7+7=16 You're the 17th team and you don't play yourself.Can’t have 9 conference games with 17 teams.

I'm trying my best to forget him and MVher.Yep. Does anyone here remember "the Dude of West Virginia"?
Yeah there are slight exceptions it’s not absolute but I remember hearing somewhere a while back that there are actual laws at play. Something to do with the NFL exception to monopoly laws I think.There’s a college football game on espn today at the same time the NFL game is on Amazon
”The unhappiness within the league stems from the ACC’s current media rights deal which is locked in through 2036.”.… Weren’t FSU and UNC the ones that pushed for the conference tv deal to be made in unfavorable conditions when it was done? Now they are crying about their deal?Swaim's record on this and everything else he attempts to post on speaks for itself.

ACC Teams Expected to Leave Conference • The Voice Of Motown

The present NFL exists because of an exemption from the antitrust laws Congress gave it. If they made any sort of motion toward playing on Saturdays between Labor Day weekend and the weekend after Thanksgiving, Congress would move very swiftly to end the exemption and open them up to being dissolved under antitrust laws.If memory serves there’s some type of law with NFL and college football having to play opposite one another.
that makes senseThe present NFL exists because of an exemption from the antitrust laws Congress gave it. If they made any sort of motion toward playing on Saturdays between Labor Day weekend and the weekend after Thanksgiving, Congress would move very swiftly to end the exemption and open them up to being dissolved under antitrust laws.
That is no doubt part of a good legal defense. It's not the lawsuit filed against the ACC by a few teams that those few teams need to worry about it. It's the lawsuit filed against them by the ACC that would be their problem! That would likely occur in NC too, the site of ACC headquarters. (I'm not a lawyer even though I was once admitted to law school.) With regard to malicious rumors, it sounds like "the Dude of West Virginia" all over again.I'm not a lawyer but I play one on the internet.

Sadly the civil war continues for way too many. I was on vacation in Florida almost 10 years ago, not too long after SU joined the ACC. Went kayaking on a group tour at a preserve. We had SU shirts on and they paired us (my husband and myself) up with a father/adult daughter couple. Exchanged pleasantries at first. Then the father started on a mini tirade how SU, BC, Pitt etc didn’t belong in the ACC. Huh - wondered where this came from - strange. He said he was a Duke professor for over 15 years, his daughter, was a Duke alum and current grad student. Funny because when I asked him where he was from - Indiana - I asked him if he felt welcomed when he started if his attitude was prevalent at Duke about non southerners. Ignored it except for saying southerners and midwesterners had much in common. I was shocked at his dismissive, insulting attitude from out of the blue. (His daughter was quiet)He went off how we weren’t Atlantic nor coastal like all the other teams. I told him Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, new member Louisville (who he strangely didn’t mention) were almost just as far if not further west but he said Virginia and Georgia’s boundaries were on the Atlantic though but he wasn’t happy when I reminded him that New York was too. (Obviously not a geography professor) He said he thought it would end up breaking up the conference because other conference members were even more upset than Duke. We purposely drifted away for the rest of that 2 hour trip. He made it clear that northerners weren’t welcome in the ACC. Had hoped that he was just some random Duke snob weirdo but all this current stuff makes me wonder.UVA. That may seem to you like saying Stanford brings Stanford, but UVA is a state flagship, in a not small state that has wealth and produces a goodly amount of talent.
UVA is worth a good deal.
Huh? 2+7+7=16 You're the 17th team and you don't play yourself.
If you think this political BS is going to fly on the football board, keep it up.
You'll be watching this thread with no input ability.
Not a threat - just a fact. You've been around long enough to know the rules.
No. All of this is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, because, as I've long held, 20-32 teams are going to leave NCAA football so their players won't have to go to class anymore. Anything that happens before that is temporary.Are you excited for your imminent move to the SEC/B1G?

You may be on to how we can get Disney to actually pay us better: change name to Bi Coastal, and then emphasize all things bi-sexual. Disney will slobber all over us.
Anybody think Dino would help out by coaching in nice mini skirt and blonde wig?
This feels like a post by someone unsure about themselves more than anything else. Very weird post.
Those folks want to go back to the regional ACC prior to 1990 when with some difficulty FSU was admitted. You may not know this but several schools (Duke was one, maybe UNC or Wake another) voted against the move initially but later the conference made the vote unanimous as it would insure its survival against the SEC. The SEC would have admitted FSU but Bowden saw an easier path to the NC and basketball $$$ at that time was greater than FB $$$. The SEC was severely pi**ed as they thought they would put FSU in the SE conference and then "shut them up". We (and Miami) were making too much noise in the SE. UF stopped playing Miami supposedly because of the difficulty of their SEC schedule. The real reason is that Miami was beating them like a drum. I always heard that UF, UGa, Kentucky, and S Carolina had a pact to vote against FSU, Ga Tech, UL, and Clemson. They don't need them as they are already in those states and they do not want to help their in-state rivals with recruiting or $$$.Sadly the civil war continues for way too many.

I don’t want this to become a political debate. If so I’ll move it. It was just a true story that all these conference threats brought it all back to me.
Umass is in Amherst. People in the Eastern half of the state think that is hicksville. B.C. is still in Boston. And when they were good, people in the state cared a lot.Even when BC is great, their support is tepid. UMASS is the state flagship university of Massachusetts which is a state with more than 6 million residents. So, yea, I think if UMASS were to get on a real upswing they would have a much larger following than BC ever would. Can Don Brown get them there, maybe, they are close to being good if they can get their starting QB back on the field,

It’s the flagship university in a state that neither the SEC or the Big Ten has a memberCan someone tell me what UVA brings to the table for the SEC or Big10?
Yes.”The unhappiness within the league stems from the ACC’s current media rights deal which is locked in through 2036.”.… Weren’t FSU and UNC the ones that pushed for the conference tv deal to be made in unfavorable conditions when it was done? Now they are crying about their deal?
it doesn’t work like that. If you go ahead and mock this out giving everyone 2 perms and then give everyone either SU or BC, Pitt or Louisville, UVA or VA Tech, UNV or NC State, Duke or Wake, Clemson or GA Tech, FSU or Miami, Stanford or Cal you will end up with 9 games for everyone except UNC who will have 8 in 2024 and NC State who will have 8 in 2025.Huh? 2+7+7=16 You're the 17th team and you don't play yourself.
Simplest way to see this is by considering that every game requires two participants. If 17 teams each play 9 games that's 153 participant games. That's 76 games with two teams and one participant with no opponent. The math doesn't work no matter how you try to spin it..

2x7/7 is mathematically impossible given 17 teams.
2032 when the GOR becomes manageable as opposed to 2036?Clemson could leave the ACC 'sooner than later' according to report
According to a new report from The Post and Courier, Clemson could leave the ACC for the SEC or Big Ten "sooner than later."awfulannouncing.com
post it online and you open yourself to get made fun of, sorryGood grief!
