Here's two things I think it could be. 1) FSU and CU to SEC 2) dissolution

Guess 1: FSU and Clemson to SEC by settlement. Not sure what the amount of money the two will pay to get out. But in recent days, the B1G has cooled (for some reason) on FSU (and Clemson), or at least appears to have cooled. It's in ESPN's best interest to a) settle and b) keep FSU and Clemson in the ESPN family of networks. ESPN does enough for the remaining ACC schools to get them to sign off on it. Guess 2: There is enough schools willing to vote to dissolve the conference. This could mean making a smaller conference on their own. Or it means that they have P2 homes. Or most of them have P2 homes and others going to the XII with financial considerations from those with P5 homes. This seems far-fetched since it would involve multiple conferences conspiring, but it would go along better with the Jurassic Park reference. Also along these same lines, some could vote to dissolve the conference in favor of a smaller ACC (straight up contraction)--this would be some straight up Hunger Games stuff though. Or lastly, a group of schools votes to dissolve the conference and the SEC takes them on as an entire division. Don't know. Just spitballin'. Woke up in the middle of the night to the water in my glass on my night stand trembling a bit.

Josh Pate with a tweet hinting at ACC contraction coming soon**

Maybe the message is that all this realignment is like water torture. It

Well, if so, it's definitely working 🤣**

A breakaway faction of schools from the ACC
obguthr 06/18/24 07:10 AM ET
Interesting angle on ND. Wasn't thinking of that.**
Maroon Baboon 06/18/24 10:26 AM ET
That might include a Big Ten scheduling deal for football
TerryD 06/18/24 12:46 PM ET
I don't understand it. So I disagree until proven otherwise
SpeakToDamien 06/18/24 12:04 AM ET
maybe there is a settlement coming. Or FSU just says F it and gives notice

Pate Has a Lot More Credibility Than Those YouTube Click-Bait Practitioners
WarHog38 06/17/24 09:43 PM ET
Pate is well connected and obviously knows something is about to go down.

Very plugged in FSU buddy says..
kt22hokie 06/17/24 08:28 PM ET
Only 10+ more years of the ACC collecting F$U's TV revenue.**
EDGEMAN 06/18/24 08:46 AM ET
very interesting tactic
DMV Gobbler 06/18/24 07:05 AM ET
Not sure how that works...
SMU Pony 06/17/24 09:41 PM ET
Yes, with negotiated exit fee ***
INSIDE99 06/17/24 08:37 PM ET
Pate already knows

Scene from the movie Jurassic Park.
hokieZ71 06/17/24 06:45 PM ET
Thx for clearing that up, I had mistakenly decided it was Battle of Verdun**
ombandit 06/17/24 07:23 PM ET
If there is an unscheduled meeting being called, it could be...
obguthr 06/17/24 05:10 PM ET
Probably an official announcement by FSU and/or CU
Victor Tango 06/17/24 06:00 PM ET
Maybe he means the ACC office is being attacked by dinosaurs**
LonghornHokie 06/17/24 03:04 PM ET
Our problem has been dinosaurs working at the ACC offices for years.**
VTDante 06/17/24 03:48 PM ET
Nothing to worry about there...**
EDGEMAN 06/17/24 03:23 PM ET
Josh sometimes misses (ex May Chaos), but he's more credible
VT757to276 06/17/24 02:55 PM ET
Glass half full or half empty???
mjfhokie 06/17/24 02:55 PM ET
could be interpreted to cover almost anything.**
wwhokie1 06/17/24 05:56 PM ET
How do you see contraction? **
Sunsetunderground 06/17/24 02:50 PM ET
He followed it up with a contraction confirmation**
Femoyer Hokie 06/17/24 04:14 PM ET
I see it as y’all
HokieAl 06/17/24 03:03 PM ET
Incomplete list. Missing "you'ins". Grundy folk use that term a lot.**
Nortazhokie 06/17/24 06:14 PM ET
And Yous. Just add the "s" for plural. Very common is some places.
wwhokie1 06/18/24 10:12 AM ET
I grew up in Maryland (DC suburbs) and it was always you guys,
Femoyer Hokie 06/17/24 04:34 PM ET
It's missing yous, yoots, and yinz**
LonghornHokie 06/17/24 04:05 PM ET
It’s also missing all y’all.**
hokieball 06/17/24 09:25 PM ET
Y'all might want to look again**
LonghornHokie 06/17/24 11:44 PM ET
How many votes are needed? **
Sunsetunderground 06/17/24 03:13 PM ET
Probably all y'all needed :)**
HokieAl 06/17/24 05:16 PM ET
Not familiar with him
cvillehokie92 06/17/24 02:43 PM ET
He's more of a commentator than a reporter. But his commentary if great.
Maroon Baboon 06/17/24 05:05 PM ET
I don't know how credible his sources are
