Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1905186, member: 27"] Agree. We have been trying to turn this program around seemingly forever using old school coaching and really aggressive scheduling. Let's change the formula...that didn't work. Easier scheduling is the easiest and quickest way to get to bowl games again. Winning will help attendance, perception and recruiting more than anything else right now. The eight game schedule has been great for the ACC. And it helps us make the schedule easier. Down the road we can look to possibly change. One thing to note: turning down the 8+2 model reportedly cost each school $500K per season. ESPN was willing to pay for this and the ACC said no thank you. At some point, it would be nice to have more money from ESPN and bigger gate receipts for more attractive opponents. But now is not that time. [/QUOTE]
