After this weekend,UNC might not want to preserve UVA rivalry LOL

Probably keep NC State and Duke instead. Also, VT will probably be stuck with Pitt as their 2nd rival, as Wake will probably want Duke and NC State as well. ** Edited by I85Hokie at 10/23/2023, 8:40:37 AM

Teel: Which ACC football rivalries should be preserved in 7 year rotation?
HOO86 • 10/14/23 03:49 PM ET
After this weekend,UNC might not want to preserve UVA rivalry LOL ◄
I85Hokie • 10/23/23 08:40 AM ET
I wonder if Teel reads this board?**
Millpoint • 10/18/23 02:30 PM ET
Like it matters
Vippie1 • 10/16/23 04:58 PM ET
Kind of agree.
mancunian • 10/17/23 12:46 PM ET
I can't disagree. As long as UVA remains a constant on the schedule, I'll

Like Teel & I have said, add Navy & go to 9 games. Navy helps us in Balt/Wa
Stech • 10/16/23 09:46 AM ET
NY Giants would gladly give up Dallas With a bit of shuffling of NFC/AFC
anotherdamnyankeehokie • 10/17/23 10:59 AM ET
NY Giants might, but not Washington or Philadelphia
HOO86 • 10/19/23 05:51 PM ET
NFC East is/was created for TV
mrcaniac • 10/23/23 01:55 PM ET
Hokie Mark blog post on ND/ACC/Stanford
TerryD • 10/17/23 09:13 AM ET
ND typically wants Stanford and BC in their rotation. Exclude both from
anotherdamnyankeehokie • 10/17/23 11:24 AM ET
ND cares nothing for BC, little for Stanford
TerryD • 10/18/23 07:12 AM ET
I can't believe this wasn't addressed when these 3 were voted in...
jims • 10/20/23 06:30 PM ET
You know you are going to get your Navy to ACC wish....finally
Vippie1 • 10/16/23 05:02 PM ET
Haha, the day Virginia Tech leaves, they will probably join 🤣, Military
Stech • 10/16/23 08:09 PM ET
Tulane is a tougher ticket in New Orleans now than the Saints.
HOO86 • 10/16/23 04:31 PM ET
it's also homecoming and gorgeous weather
neworleanshoo • 10/17/23 06:55 PM ET
Would Navy get a full pro rata share from ESPN with only Football ?
Sunsetunderground • 10/16/23 12:38 PM ET
They don’t have to be do they? Precedent is set. Navy will do very well in
Stech • 10/16/23 12:57 PM ET
Difference is all sports vs mostly football. Would ESPN pay that is
Sunsetunderground • 10/16/23 01:49 PM ET
They have highth limits. No way they would join for basketball.
Sunsetunderground • 10/16/23 01:46 PM ET
80 inches 6’8” is the maximum, but they issue waivers 4 certain candidates.**
Stech • 10/16/23 11:48 PM ET
David Robinson would like to have a word with you! 7 foot Navy legend!**
VintonHokies • 10/16/23 03:26 PM ET
Word was he grew 7 inches after his Freshman Year
Sunsetunderground • 10/16/23 05:30 PM ET
They have 7 players this year over 6’6. Must be a waiver for BB**
VintonHokies • 10/16/23 06:42 PM ET
you think that is why American is pushing for Army???
Mercury • 10/16/23 11:06 AM ET
That definitely crossed my mind, the Academic Conference of Champions would
Stech • 10/16/23 12:30 PM ET
Would the ACC give Army (and Navy) the same deal that the AAC has proposed
VTHokie2000 • 10/16/23 12:55 PM ET
Copy.
Maroon Baboon • 10/15/23 10:39 PM ET
Thanks Maroon Baboon!**
Stech • 10/16/23 09:06 AM ET
Should make Louisville SMU's rival...
Old Line Hokie • 10/15/23 08:11 PM ET
I get the feeling the Tech-WFU matchup was a way to save travel expenses
mrcaniac • 10/16/23 12:43 AM ET
no was not too published but Wake was not a VT pick
Mercury • 10/16/23 11:11 AM ET
VT - the ugly ACC stepchild!! Conference must have thrown up when VT won
Lakeridgehokie • 10/16/23 12:23 PM ET
Any way HOO86 you can copy and paste this article? I am having a difficult
Stech • 10/15/23 05:45 PM ET
Been away a couple of days. I see Maroon Baboon took care of it. **
HOO86 • 10/16/23 04:27 PM ET
I think ACC will poll the members and they will solicit feedback
Mercury • 10/15/23 03:36 PM ET
SMU isn’t playing Cal and Stanford each twice a year
RVAHokie05 • 10/15/23 07:37 AM ET
Ok. Makes more sense.**
HOO86 • 10/15/23 09:36 AM ET
Here's the only ones that MUST be preserved IMO.
Maroon Baboon • 10/14/23 09:02 PM ET
No way should UNC get to keep 3 rivalries
HokieAl • 10/16/23 08:24 PM ET
It's about the other schools they play. Many schools need none.**
Maroon Baboon • 10/17/23 01:03 PM ET
i agree that it is unnecessary for everyone to have a "must game"
MrBayAreaHokie • 10/15/23 04:25 PM ET
GT's must game would probably be Clemson given that they have played each
VTHokie2000 • 10/16/23 09:07 AM ET
I honestly don’t care about any VT rivalries outside of UVa
MrBayAreaHokie • 10/14/23 06:23 PM ET
They need to go to 9 conference games to make the scheduling work better.**
tarheelblue • 10/14/23 05:07 PM ET
Go to 9 and count Notre Dame as a conference game
cburgroop • 10/15/23 08:38 AM ET
Do that, and bring in Navy as number 18.
Stech • 10/15/23 06:35 PM ET
The problem with a 9 game conference schedule is the year teams play 5 away
VTHokie2000 • 10/14/23 08:22 PM ET
ESPN will need to pony up more $$$
mrcaniac • 10/14/23 09:20 PM ET
they did with adding 3 members and
Mercury • 10/15/23 03:37 PM ET
Yes, they will either need to buy some of those games out or move them to
VTHokie2000 • 10/14/23 11:23 PM ET
If they aren't playing 9 conference games, they are just not serious**
