I understand the sentiment. I will say this, I am surprised that USC people

would want to give up the rivalry. Do you think they will? Having a tough schedule shouldn't be as much of a concern in this expanded CFP era. TBH, I am surprised that you would say bye to USC so easily. Also, do you think USC and ND coordinated or even talked leading up to their decision to join the B1G? Lastly, I wonder if USC considered going independent 🤔 ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 5/6/2025, 8:29:47 PM

Clemson and ND agree to meet for 12 years
The_VT_Rock • 05/06/25 10:51 AM ET
Sounds to me like the ACC is waiting on the SEC to go to 9 games
Sunsetunderground • 05/06/25 05:07 PM ET
9 games with 17 teams is actually easier to schedule: 2/7/7...
BROman Hokie • 05/07/25 10:35 AM ET
Mathematically impossible…
RandomAsianGuy • 05/07/25 06:31 PM ET
Edit: NVM
BROman Hokie • 05/08/25 12:37 PM ET
Mathematically it is possible though.
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/25 11:42 AM ET
How about a 10 team regionally and historically
mancunian • 05/07/25 10:31 AM ET
Interesting deal
TerryD • 05/06/25 05:28 PM ET
True but the ACC is saying all non scheduled Clemson and Stanford games
Sunsetunderground • 05/07/25 12:44 PM ET
Future: South Bend judge Séamus O'Gallagher rules against the ACC.
Truthahn • 05/07/25 01:00 PM ET
ND 2029 opponents
TerryD • 05/06/25 04:34 PM ET
It will be awful for the college game if the USC-ND series is discontinued.
Maroon Baboon • 05/06/25 05:04 PM ET
That never even had a 1% chance
TerryD • 05/06/25 06:53 PM ET
I understand the sentiment. I will say this, I am surprised that USC people ◄
Maroon Baboon • 05/06/25 08:29 PM ET
USC people keep threatening....
TerryD • 05/06/25 09:31 PM ET
Yes, I think ND is doing this because they are getting flack from USC.
Truthahn • 05/07/25 11:35 AM ET
You'll be shocked to find that, around here, a lot of people care more-
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/07/25 10:36 AM ET
Are the seven new games part of the ACC/ND five game agreement?
Truthahn • 05/06/25 03:22 PM ET
There must be conflicting information out there.

TerryD • 05/06/25 04:01 PM ET
Sounds like step one in removing the have-nots from the ACC.
wwhokie1 • 05/06/25 01:18 PM ET
Two divisions: The Big Dogs and The Runts
Truthahn • 05/06/25 03:25 PM ET
As expected.
RandomAsianGuy • 05/06/25 12:19 PM ET
There currently is no series
TerryD • 05/06/25 09:36 PM ET
Some of the articles say that Stan and Clemson now have annual ND games.
Truthahn • 05/07/25 09:16 AM ET
If they wanted to be accurate, they should .....
TerryD • 05/07/25 02:28 PM ET
The Clemson & Stanford series won't count toward the 5 ACC - ND games
cburgroop • 05/06/25 02:06 PM ET
ND says that they do**
TerryD • 05/07/25 07:02 AM ET
If true, they buried the lede. That is huge news.
Truthahn • 05/06/25 03:28 PM ET
Confusing statements within the same ESPN article.
RandomAsianGuy • 05/06/25 06:50 PM ET
Probably both. When it's Clemson's turn to play Notre Dame it would count,
wwhokie1 • 05/06/25 09:28 PM ET
I think you are right.
RandomAsianGuy • 05/06/25 11:57 PM ET
That is apparently surprising news to ND
TerryD • 05/07/25 02:29 PM ET
That arrangement is very beneficial to the ACC, if it holds.
Truthahn • 05/07/25 09:29 AM ET
That's all good and well for FSU, Clemson, and Miami, but what about NCSU
Big12 guy • 05/06/25 05:32 PM ET
It is good for everyone, ND, Clemson, the ACC. A perfect deal.
Truthahn • 05/07/25 10:12 AM ET
I'm not sure how you can look at that deal and arrive anywhere except-
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/07/25 10:33 AM ET
No doubt. It's good for TV ratings, and makes the
Big12 guy • 05/07/25 10:21 AM ET
So if Clemson, FSU and Miami stay it is bad for the rest of the ACC
VTCALS72 • 05/07/25 07:49 AM ET
Put on your thinking cap for one second, and really think about what you're
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/07/25 10:10 AM ET
Nice points if it was a different post you were responding to
VTCALS72 • 05/07/25 01:00 PM ET
So, my big takeaway from your post-
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/09/25 10:01 AM ET
No, I do not think that the b12 can go around the country,
Big12 guy • 05/07/25 08:13 AM ET
I think WVU would feel they could be on the upper side of the unequal
VTCALS72 • 05/07/25 08:58 AM ET
Unequal payouts are on the table, that
Big12 guy • 05/07/25 09:23 AM ET
Uneven revenue sharing is not going to be just an ACC thing.
wwhokie1 • 05/07/25 12:17 AM ET
If there is an objective way for schools to
Big12 guy • 05/07/25 06:11 AM ET
This all means some ACC schools will fall even further behind.
wwhokie1 • 05/07/25 12:58 PM ET
LOL. Why do you make every issue about the Big 12?
RandomAsianGuy • 05/06/25 06:51 PM ET
Your response is why. BTW, what happens when there are
Big12 guy • 05/06/25 08:01 PM ET
Then? I have been saying this so many times. The ACC will target the B12.**
RandomAsianGuy • 05/06/25 10:50 PM ET
Interesting. Louisville and Duke to the B12? If the conference
Big12 guy • 05/06/25 11:57 AM ET
The haves are the ones with the initiative to take.
