No threats, except need a succinct explanation of 'poison comment

ACC needs clariity on their position 1. they are not members of the ACC for football. clear 2. they are members of the ACC bowl package, and obligated to accept the affected bowl package 3. they are members for all other supports until 2036. Where is the "poison the relationship"" also ACC bowl rights are affected by their lack of participation, they should be fined like Iowa State and Kansas State for Big 12. Are they filing for leaving the conference, please let the ACC know so ACC members can carve up the pay back to the contract to 2036. President and AD of ND, need to explain it to the other 17 Presidents and AD for the other members.

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
RiverVT • 12/08/25 05:55 PM ET
No threats needed. Just stop kissing their ass.
Maroon Baboon • 12/08/25 05:45 PM ET
The reality for BOTH ND and the ACC......

Who is threatening who?**

in a business arrangement, poison is perceived as a threat and dying**

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”.**

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

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.
