If it’s true that Clemson is getting out
Of its 9th ACC game citing contractural agreement, why can’t Tech?

reason given for the teams not getting that 9th game next year is they
all had 2 PS OOC games scheduled. I think Clemson has LSU along with South Carolina.

With JMU?
Which contract are we not able to break?

Not sure the rationale, but is fair if FSU/Clem/GT/UL get special treatment
being that they're tied to an SEC rivalry game every year

VT is playing the long game. The ACC is weak and provides easier wins
So we are going to soak up those wins and ride it into the playoffs and new dominance atop college football.

Someone has to be the red-head stepchild in the ACC dysfunctional family
and VT "volunteered" for the role.

Not true, but 17 teams can't all play 9 conference games...
so one team will play 8 conference games and 2 P4 games starting in 2027 (it won't be the same team every year), and it'll probably be one of the teams that already has a P4 rivalry (Louisville, Clemson, or FSU). I guess another possible solution is to add an 18th team to balance the schedule, but the pickins are slim.

Because we have not won 2 Nattys in last 10 years
Or any for that matter
