Interesting speculation about ACC dissolution by Greg Flugaur last night
Millpoint • 11/12/24 09:17 AM ET
Was it "chalk"?
mrcaniac • 11/14/24 07:13 PM ET
I wonder what FSU's TV ratings are right about now?
Truthahn • 11/19/24 12:08 PM ET
Just saw that their game vs Charleston Southern is on ACCNX
mrcaniac • 11/19/24 02:09 PM ET
I think an adult from the Big Ten called him and told him
Maroon Baboon • 11/15/24 11:39 PM ET
Could this be a negotiating ploy for a contract bump?
Flanker • 11/13/24 05:33 PM ET
Something tells me this guy does not have his finger on the dissolution
Sunsetunderground • 11/13/24 03:24 PM ET
There's a level lower than Finebaum???**

Why listen to the Wayne's World of college football?**

Conferences are totally FUBAR right now. The powers that be didn't think
Maroon Baboon • 11/13/24 11:17 AM ET
Dissolve the ACC & do what, form a 10 team conference? **
ombandit • 11/13/24 07:55 AM ET
yes with Mag7 plus Duke and two more**
Millpoint • 11/13/24 11:18 AM ET
Hmm, there are 10 large publics in the ACC.
Truthahn • 11/19/24 12:39 PM ET
Make Conferences Round Robin Again #MCRRA 🧢

So the Pac-12 model**

Can we please reserve the “clown” moniker for Johnny Manzell? **

whatever happened to something big is going down in 9 weeks

Come on mannn, that’s so 9 weeks ago! 🤣 Got to have new material.**

lol; i had to dig for it. Josh Pate back in June or July**
daveinop • 11/13/24 01:12 PM ET
I think the schools need to stop trying to copy the P2. It's not happening
HokieAl • 11/12/24 04:25 PM ET
And almost forgot, mega conf would allow ND to stay independent
HokieAl • 11/12/24 05:24 PM ET
This makes the tenth thing guaranteed to force ND into a conference
TerryD • 11/12/24 04:13 PM ET
He didn't guarantee it would force ND into a conference
Millpoint • 11/12/24 04:22 PM ET
ND will shutter their program before they join a conference for football.
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/12/24 04:26 PM ET
Their other sports will play in the Patriot League before joining FB conf**
VaTechHokiesACC • 11/13/24 02:15 AM ET
or the Big East conference, which I believe is 100% their plan-
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/13/24 10:35 AM ET
Swarbrick said this was never an option.
Sunsetunderground • 11/13/24 03:28 PM ET
If Swarbrick gave the quote, it was given well before the P2 paradigm shift
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/13/24 03:44 PM ET
He said it years later after all of this was settled.**
Sunsetunderground • 11/13/24 05:07 PM ET
I couldn't find Swarbrick quoted saying anything like that anywhere.
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/14/24 09:58 AM ET
It would be funny if a ND+BE deal required ND to play UConn every year.**
Truthahn • 11/13/24 01:59 PM ET
I don't think ND would mind that at all. It beats paying to lose to NIU.**
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/13/24 03:29 PM ET
Come to think of it, why didn't they go with the Big East?
Truthahn • 11/18/24 12:30 PM ET
Because they didn't know the Big East was going to be the Big East.
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/18/24 03:22 PM ET
According to 33laszlo99, he also said ESPN is renewing the ACC Feb contract
Stech • 11/12/24 01:04 PM ET
One of these days...........
2hhoop3 • 11/13/24 01:26 AM ET
That’s right, he’s predicting 2 opposite things with a new contract in Feb
Stech • 11/13/24 09:51 AM ET
I predict you will still......
2hhoop3 • 11/13/24 10:01 AM ET
🤣**
Stech • 11/13/24 12:25 PM ET
No conflict there. ESPN has unilateral control of the existing contract.
33laszlo99 • 11/12/24 01:33 PM ET
So he’s saying they will renew the contract and then it will be killed?**
Stech • 11/12/24 09:22 PM ET
That's what I took it to mean. I have thought all along that ESPN would
33laszlo99 • 11/13/24 12:33 AM ET
Can they renew, and then split the conference in two?
Truthahn • 11/13/24 02:06 PM ET
Seems like he’s predicting 2 different things so one will be right. Then he
Stech • 11/13/24 09:41 AM ET
The ACC ultimately needs to be reconstituted to compete long-term
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/12/24 12:14 PM ET
Through 2036 is long term**
PadrosWindup • 11/12/24 08:30 PM ET
There's no way SMU makes this list. They have no business being in the ACC.
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/12/24 04:15 PM ET
well said**
Millpoint • 11/12/24 04:23 PM ET
While I like your 10 very much, I wonder if that is enough time zones for
Femoyer Hokie • 11/12/24 12:38 PM ET
Just want to understand. You are saying, that to save the ACC
Big12 guy • 11/12/24 12:32 PM ET
You can look at it as "dissolving the ACC," or you could look at it like an

Yes, I understand you suggested the initial cull would be only the less
VTHokie2000 • 11/15/24 04:03 PM ET
Yes, The ACC must disband. No they will not match the wealth of the P2.
33laszlo99 • 11/12/24 01:03 PM ET
As I said several months ago, I believe the ultimate goal is the merge
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/12/24 12:55 PM ET
The only thing that makes sense to me is a vote to dissolve the conference.
Truthahn • 11/12/24 12:13 PM ET
Not sure it would be legal for ten members to plan in advance to kill the
33laszlo99 • 11/12/24 01:43 PM ET
You’d only do that if all 10 have a P2 landing place. However, he’s also

Include SMU. Those folks don't play. Duke and GT would be too.**
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/12/24 11:23 AM ET
Duke is dead weight for football. Might as well be Kansas **
