The next ACC commissioner (assuming time doesn’t run out)…

should be a huge ACC homer who isn’t a alumnus of UNC, Duke or Wake. Someone who has Mark Packer, Cory Alexander or Debbie Antonelli’s love for the conference but with business acumen. But someone who is a football first thinker. Either that or a shrewd businessman who hates losing and thinks they can legitimately play ball with the big boy P2s. No matter who the next commissioner is, they have a tough hill t climb with all the private schools and schools with small footprints within their own states and the weird dysfunction of Cal, Stanford, SMU and a partial member in ND. If not for that dumb GoR, a business savvy commissioner could propose a new super conference with Miami, FSU, GT, Clemson, NCSU, UNC, UVa, Tech, Pitt, West Virginia, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Kansas, Iowa State, Colorado, Utah, BYU, Arizona, ASU, Cal, Stanford, WSU, Oregon State and BSU. Mostly big state schools minus Miami, BYU and Stanford that could consist of five 5-team divisions. All that said, I really miss the old days of 8 t 10 member conferences.

He has his nose buried so far up the SEC's butt that he can't breathe.
EDGEMAN 01/10/26 08:56 AM ET
The SEC is ND" s only real ally....
TerryD 01/10/26 08:20 PM ET
Correction… ND is ND’s only real ally re: independence.
Calamitous 01/10/26 08:49 PM ET
No thanks
TerryD 01/11/26 12:59 AM ET

TerryD 01/12/26 07:03 AM ET
Call your AD to see if he agrees with me😂😂😂
Calamitous 01/12/26 10:37 PM ET
Quite a rant about leaching. But ND is #9 in directors cup standings

You did prove my point… ND is strong enough to go independent ..
Calamitous 01/13/26 08:14 PM ET
No it doesn’t prove your point at all. Not even remotely
HokieAl 01/13/26 08:45 PM ET
You don't understand my argument (look at my thread here)

The next time a ND athletic dept official shows humility...
