Message: [QUOTE="0.2 YNdeeR, post: 5561188, member: 8125"] Thanks, Consig. This is a good summary since, indeed, the ACC schedules all conference games including ND circa 2014 (ACC - ND bowl game agreement to play 5 ACC teams annually). And thus, there are no separate institutional ACC to ACC FB contracts. That also means, ipso facto, that ND cannot unilaterally "drop" a game scheduled by the Conference. Yet there is some recent [URL='https://www.si.com/college/syracuse/football/syracuse-football-may-01k9qg4ne6dc']reporting[/URL] that ND is "considering" such a move and seems to have a level of control (?). ND is our 9th ACC game in 2026, which fits with the ACC's effort to start the 9 game slate in 2026 and complete the transition in 2027. If that's true, the ACC might allow us to be one of the schools that play 8 conference games next year. Still, it's a little unsettling that Notre Dame seems to be dictating how the league will schedule 2026 games. Am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
