No threats needed. Just stop kissing their ass.

If they leave, they leave.

ACC must be take action if ND is threatening the conference **
RiverVT • 12/08/25 04:51 PM ET
Notre Dame was not getting in over Miami
hokiedad25 • 12/08/25 07:44 PM ET
ND has escalation dominance.
Fatman • 12/08/25 05:14 PM ET
Going to be screwed regardless! Must show strength

Maroon Baboon • 12/08/25 05:45 PM ET
The reality for BOTH ND and the ACC......
2hhoop3 • 12/08/25 07:09 PM ET
I think that just happened...lol**
EDGEMAN • 12/08/25 06:55 PM ET
No threats, except need a succinct explanation of 'poison comment
1947Sunbowl • 12/08/25 05:52 PM ET
Who is threatening who?**
GCHokieof91 • 12/08/25 05:28 PM ET
in a business arrangement, poison is perceived as a threat and dying**
1947Sunbowl • 12/09/25 09:35 AM ET
Let them go to the B12, its the only other P4 conference that would
vtdasc90 • 12/08/25 05:22 PM ET
ND also doesn't like the B12 footprint.They want an East Coast presence. **
Maroon Baboon • 12/08/25 05:47 PM ET
He didn't threaten the ACC. He just said the relationship has been

Define? Permanent damage!
RiverVT • 12/08/25 05:57 PM ET
Don’t understand why ND is mad at the ACC. Miami was ranked ahead of ND
techer1983 • 12/08/25 05:46 PM ET
ND football is not in ACC so of course ACC will vote for Miami, its ACC
carhokies • 12/08/25 07:20 PM ET
Said this to my dad earlier today. The beef isn't over JMU. They got in
Tombo • 12/08/25 09:53 PM ET
Because of the 5 highest ranked conference champions
MKD • 12/08/25 05:50 PM ET
Thanks for the explanation**
techer1983 • 12/09/25 05:14 PM ET
Welcome ma'am**
MKD • 12/09/25 05:26 PM ET
All the G conference champions are probably ranked ahead of Duke this year.
VTHokie2000 • 12/08/25 06:45 PM ET
What's their beef with the ACC?**
FlintMS • 12/08/25 04:53 PM ET
That the ACC didn't bend over and kiss their butt instead of advocating...
EDGEMAN • 12/08/25 06:57 PM ET
Oh...f'em**
FlintMS • 12/08/25 07:20 PM ET
The are independent in football, but don’t like being “singled out”.**
Mr. Touchdown • 12/08/25 05:33 PM ET
We lobbied to get a conference team into the playoff for the millions that
HoakieBS • 12/08/25 05:02 PM ET
I do not see ND wanting to share their 50 million NBC contract.
VT Hokie 71 • 12/08/25 06:00 PM ET
They probably plan to join the Big Least for all sports but football.
RJHokie • 12/08/25 05:05 PM ET
Good Riddance! Don't let the Door hit you on the way OUT!**
HoakieBS • 12/08/25 05:08 PM ET
Agree

EvDogHokie • 12/08/25 05:32 PM ET
How much money does lacrosse bring it.
crazylane • 12/08/25 06:04 PM ET
You said "basketball, Baseball, etc"
EvDogHokie • 12/08/25 06:08 PM ET
But those bring in virtually NO REVENUE for ACC! FB #1, MBB #2 by wide
HoakieBS • 12/08/25 05:38 PM ET
Was just commenting on crazylane's post.
EvDogHokie • 12/08/25 06:04 PM ET
Commenting on my post?
crazylane • 12/08/25 06:34 PM ET
Have you been living in a cave?
VT2ND • 12/08/25 05:01 PM ET
ND isn't a conference member. There is no reason for the ACC to promote
reestuart • 12/08/25 05:52 PM ET
That's only part of the problem
VTND • 12/08/25 05:31 PM ET
They couldn’t campaign for Miami over Bama because they didn’t play.
reestuart • 12/08/25 06:50 PM ET
That they didn't play Alabama is a meaningless point.
VT2ND • 12/08/25 07:26 PM ET
How the heck is it meaningless? Miami had a direct way of presenting
reestuart • 12/08/25 08:20 PM ET
You ask "Why didn't the ACC help a partner?" Well the answer should be
VTHokie2000 • 12/08/25 06:42 PM ET
Basically because Head to Head Miami BEAT ND.
Painterboy • 12/08/25 05:49 PM ET
Evidently you do. ND is absolutely NOT a member for football.
Atlee Hokie • 12/08/25 05:18 PM ET
Since ESPN owns the ACCN, why do you assume the ACC had any say what
VTHokie2000 • 12/08/25 05:15 PM ET
ND is NOT a member. **
Roll-Tech • 12/08/25 05:13 PM ET
ND is NOT a conference member in Football. They get to keep 100% of the
HoakieBS • 12/08/25 05:05 PM ET
Notre Dame is not in the conference for football
Hokieguy1 • 12/08/25 05:03 PM ET
Yeah, screw ND. They've used the ACC for their own convenience...
MP4VT2004 • 12/08/25 05:09 PM ET
They are a member nonetheless. The distinction you point out is
VT2ND • 12/08/25 05:06 PM ET
ND makes occasional booty calls on the ACC. Not a meaningful relationship.**
hok1eboy • 12/08/25 09:06 PM ET
oh brother......miami is a FULL member of the acc. ND is not. screw them.**
squarerootofone • 12/08/25 06:15 PM ET
It is NOT a partnership.
Atlee Hokie • 12/08/25 06:05 PM ET
No it’s not meaningless. They cannot have it both ways; they think they
hokiepro • 12/08/25 06:01 PM ET
Then the ACC should push for ND to get into March Madness. **
reestuart • 12/08/25 05:53 PM ET
Not in football**
GCHokieof91 • 12/08/25 05:40 PM ET
A partnership ??? 🤣**
vtdasc90 • 12/08/25 05:14 PM ET
Nope, If it was a partnership, they would be a full member
VTChip • 12/08/25 05:13 PM ET
Here are the terms. It's convoluted for sure
MKD • 12/08/25 05:38 PM ET
They do get the best of both worlds. Time for it to come to an end.**
SHPHOKIE • 12/08/25 05:32 PM ET
The distinction actually makes all of the difference.
Hokieguy1 • 12/08/25 05:13 PM ET
If they want to be a FULL partner, SHARE the TV & Bowl revenue with ACC!!!
HoakieBS • 12/08/25 05:10 PM ET
The ACC didn't allow them to continue having their cake and eat it too.
