The lamentable part of this all is that the ACC could have fixed this …

Years ago, by adding Pitt, VT, and Miami, and maybe WVU, and telling Wake and Duke (and everybody else) that they have 3 years to meet certain attendance goals for football or they will be ejected from the football slate, and lose their share of the football pie. Or tell everybody that the top twelve schools in attendance remain football members. Wake and Duke would most likely lose that battle, and it would create a real emphasis on football. Then bring in Notre Dame under whatever terms they want. Five football games / year is enough. Let them play in the ACCCG - who cares? When you boil out the fat you have 12 schools that are members for all sports and you do your best to lock them down with high network payouts. ** Edited by lawhokie at 3/31/2024, 7:24:40 PM ** Edited by lawhokie at 3/31/2024, 7:28:18 PM

I’m starting to get the feeling FSU/Clemson is more about shrinking the ACC
hokieZ71 03/31/24 10:13 AM ET
well of course the question of a breakaway is the pro-rata numbers

What happens if FSU and Clemson leave for 2024?

Adding those three leveraged a bigger payout in the short term. Also

If you think that the 4 corners to the XII was XII cherry picking

A conference of mostly West and East teams is not economically viable

That is kind of what I said, those 6 schools are only in temporary harbors

Breakaway ACC is s actually my preferred outcome

ESPN lookin next year + football centric breakaway is a very credible

Hokie83 03/31/24 01:27 PM ET

Stech 03/31/24 03:38 PM ET

Well, that last section was just to prove I can author an anti-VT
hokieZ71 03/31/24 02:40 PM ET
I don't think there are enough football-centric schools in the ACC to make
