basically told the ACC for that to work, it needed to be able to pick and choose some games for TV purposes since it was missing out on a chunk of games. So, that's why you're seeing Duke get Louisville twice last year and Duke get UVa twice this year. Basically a made-for-TV deal.

I hate these big conferences. The fact you don't play everyone -- hoosnowahokie May 28, 2026 at 02:46 PM ET

I think that schedule looks very favorable. No Duke and get most of the top -- DDhokie31 May 28, 2026 at 12:39 PM ET

All these are positives, which we'll need. Good news!** -- 4dhokies May 28, 2026 at 01:09 PM ET
