ND is not going to vote to dissolve the ACC

It wants the ACC to survive in some form after the departures of FSU, Clemson and North Carolina. That is why it pushed for the additions of SMU, Cal and Stanford. ND doesn't want to join the Big Ten. It has strived mightily for 30 years to avoid doing that, P2 universe now or not. It wants to remain a football independent and a viable ACC helps with that a lot. In fact, a revised ACC without North Carolina but with more private schools suits ND just fine. ND would have more political power in the ACC with those three schools gone, especially the Tar Heels. ** Edited by TerryD at 3/30/2024, 12:31:17 PM

You know what? If the Pac12 can vaporize, the ACC can vaporize**
MrBayAreaHokie • 03/30/24 03:42 PM ET
About the same chances as all 7 having landing spots in the P2
VTCALS72 • 03/29/24 10:12 PM ET
I still don’t see how Georgia Tech and Pitt are so undervalued
lawhokie • 03/30/24 08:04 AM ET
They are the "other school" in states dominated by a single team
GALOISGROUP • 04/01/24 02:21 PM ET
It's all about "brand" now
TerryD • 03/30/24 04:28 PM ET
Just a guess
VTCALS72 • 03/30/24 08:20 AM ET
Frankly, I don't think all 7 have invites in hand, but that is just
Big12 guy • 03/29/24 10:27 PM ET
you asked for the chances. I gave my opinion on what those chances are
VTCALS72 • 03/29/24 10:37 PM ET
Fair enough. **
Big12 guy • 03/29/24 10:40 PM ET
Unlikely with FSU/Clemson having P2 spots…
BROman Hokie • 03/29/24 06:37 PM ET
An easier way to do this is to form a mini-relegation and promotion system
Maroon Baboon • 03/29/24 06:22 PM ET
FSU and Clemson will be in the SEC in 2-3 years.

Mag 7 in discussions with P2
INSIDE99 • 03/29/24 06:07 PM ET
IF there are P2 invites for the Mag 7, then how are those secured?
Marooned • 03/29/24 11:22 PM ET
VT in the P2
INSIDE99 • 03/30/24 02:01 AM ET
I think 8 votes to dissolve is an urban legend and this is much more likely
daveinop • 03/29/24 05:50 PM ET
I love the MAG7. Let's do it!
Truthahn • 03/29/24 04:54 PM ET
It’s a good lineup:
lawhokie • 03/29/24 05:14 PM ET
I don’t see Duke or Cuse staying with no home for their FB
Marooned • 03/29/24 11:33 PM ET
Yeah, plus would be a pride issue**
lawhokie • 03/30/24 07:49 AM ET
The June 30th date is why I think it may be real. **
Big12 guy • 03/29/24 04:59 PM ET
Can't see them forming a temporary conference. Without a network this
wwhokie1 • 03/29/24 04:53 PM ET
It's all about the timing. **
Big12 guy • 03/29/24 05:02 PM ET
Yes, I see this, too.
Truthahn • 03/29/24 05:01 PM ET
ND is not going to vote to dissolve the ACC ◄
TerryD • 03/30/24 12:29 PM ET
Cannot imagine why Notre Dame would vote to dissolve. No benefit to them.**
wwhokie1 • 03/29/24 08:57 PM ET
What happens to Notre Dame if the Mag7 go to them and they don't want to
132863Hokie • 03/29/24 09:25 PM ET
The 8th school could be someone like a Louisville that says to heck
Big12 guy • 03/29/24 09:39 PM ET
FSU people were saying the 8th was Louisville to B12, it’s plausible, as
Stech • 03/29/24 11:12 PM ET
If ND votes to dissolve the ACC, that would put them in a bind for future
wwhokie1 • 03/29/24 09:37 PM ET
They can't go until this litigation is settled. keep in mind, no matter
Big12 guy • 03/29/24 04:58 PM ET
I am wondering if Duke would like to just join the Big East
OrlandoHokie • 03/29/24 04:35 PM ET
They might, but having Duke and KU with their histories in the
Big12 guy • 03/29/24 04:52 PM ET
What reports? Can you link?
Will StewartAdmin • 03/29/24 03:55 PM ET
This FSU dude is reporting it too
baumerj • 03/29/24 06:07 PM ET
See above, I accidentally posted something about it above instead of here.**

Thanks Stech - there have been others, but sometimes I read this stuff and
