Somewhat so IMO, the 🍀wouldn’t add 1 game with a team they already play,

so they can get more games with NBC against B1G teams. So they have recently aligned with the SEC for the 12 team playoff, and now the B1G for more TV games. Both of which hurt the ACC. It really burned some up that they were for making our schools travel coast to coast, but they wouldn’t even add a game to the ACC agreement with a school they are already playing. Everyone is talking about FSU and Clemson having 1 foot out the door of the ACC, but it seems like ND does too, at least their actions suggest that to me. Very little loyalty to the ACC, so the ACC discounted their view.

Does someone have a take on these FOUR "No" votes, it runs counter to the

My take: the 4 non-academic schools voted no.**

If ND wants to add those 2 schools, maybe they should join and vote also .**

ND gets a vote now**

Once some schools knew there were 4 no votes, it was over and everybody

Ok. This makes sense. It was strategic window dressing and everyone

leveraging for more favorable revenue distribution
daveinop • 08/13/23 07:52 AM ET
There wasn’t a vote. 4 no’s doesn’t mean 11 yes votes.

Agreed a waste of time to try and "analyze " this as it signifies little.**

Yes it was an unofficial vote or a non-vote, but the allocation of whatever

Honestly I think the best both VT and UVA can hope for in the short term

I think that UVA is in a lot better spot than we are. Do you think they

Stanford didn’t get a sniff from the Big Ten.
hokieZ71 • 08/13/23 09:07 AM ET
That's not true. B1G Presidents wanted Stanford & Cal. Fox was the problem

The Canes No vote didn't count because of a hanging chad ballot.**

I'm a little disappointed Tech didn't vote "No"

If UNC is sufficiently accretive, they can pull in NCSU at a full payout
TDVick • 08/13/23 07:25 AM ET
Nah I think that’s a “VT-focused” look at what’s going on.
hokieZ71 • 08/13/23 08:12 AM ET
I agree. we know that about the FSU, UNC and Clemson, but WHY did NCSU vote
TDVick • 08/13/23 08:20 AM ET
NC State has the same governing body as UNC.
hokieZ71 • 08/13/23 08:22 AM ET
To some degree, you're saying that UNC has much bigger pull politically
TDVick • 08/13/23 08:29 AM ET
I want there to be more no votes, not less.**

Yes. The fact that there were ONLY four is surprising, but the composition

I would like VT in the SEC, reformed ACC, Big 12, Big 10 in that order
