Maybe if Mag 7 go, but Clemson or even FSU alone won't blow it up, ACC can

grab USF and keep that part of Florida and maybe San Diego State and get Southern Cal. Now if 7 go, you could be right. However, President of Universities make this call, not fans, the Presidents will just grab a couple of other schools in large markets with the potential to blow up like SMU just did.

Jim Phillips on Notre Dame-Clemson games
RandomAsianGuy • 05/15/25 12:58 PM ET
Clemson is well positioned...Like ND, they'll play in the ACC but with P2
VT757to276 • 05/16/25 08:16 AM ET
Or at least close enough? **
Big12 guy • 05/16/25 10:28 AM ET
ND officials dispute that
TerryD • 05/15/25 03:58 PM ET
ND ofiicials are not disputing.
RandomAsianGuy • 05/15/25 06:23 PM ET
They said it counts
TerryD • 05/15/25 07:36 PM ET
Full Sentence: "in which those games are already in the league’s schedule"
jesuisvtguy • 05/16/25 12:16 AM ET
Still confused?
RandomAsianGuy • 05/16/25 12:30 PM ET
yeah, Phillips and Clemson are on the same page and no public statement
daveinop • 05/16/25 08:22 PM ET
That’s not how I read it. They “expect” those games will count.
RandomAsianGuy • 05/15/25 10:41 PM ET
According to fbsschedules.com, Notre Dame is scheduled to play 6 ACC
VTHokie2000 • 05/15/25 04:38 PM ET
Thanks for answering, do you have a link on that?**
Stech • 05/15/25 04:05 PM ET
Link below
TerryD • 05/15/25 05:25 PM ET
they won't count as ACC games if Clemson isn't in the ACC post 2031
daveinop • 05/16/25 08:04 AM ET
Interesting, looks like Notre Dame & Jim “Dame” Phillips need to talk. 🤣**
Stech • 05/15/25 06:19 PM ET
Do you use that little pet name
Pylons • 05/15/25 08:26 PM ET
I guess everyone will find out if that statement is true or not the first
VTHokie2000 • 05/15/25 01:37 PM ET
My question is
Stech • 05/15/25 01:54 PM ET
ND plays 5 other ACC opponents thru at least 2036
daveinop • 05/16/25 08:17 PM ET
to Stech...no; that's why I asked
daveinop • 05/18/25 07:49 PM ET
No I haven’t, do you have a link?**
Stech • 05/16/25 09:25 PM ET
From what I understand, they plan on continuing it even if invited to the
Maroon Baboon • 05/15/25 04:30 PM ET
Where are you getting that the B1G is not interested in Clemson? Link if
Stech • 05/15/25 04:38 PM ET
Pretty much everyone with a realignment show.
Maroon Baboon • 05/15/25 05:23 PM ET
Hmmm I am not sure he is the best source, I know he got USC/UCLA early, but
Stech • 05/15/25 05:29 PM ET
Big Ten source is decent. Speculation about ND, terrible.
Maroon Baboon • 05/15/25 08:10 PM ET
He insisted that ND was going to join the Big Ten ....
TerryD • 05/15/25 07:38 PM ET
Steth, is there any credible source saying the Clemson is going to the BIG?**
Big12 guy • 05/15/25 05:35 PM ET
Is there any credible source saying they will not eventually go there?
Stech • 05/15/25 05:43 PM ET
Agree. And I'm not closing the door.
Maroon Baboon • 05/15/25 08:15 PM ET
That's alright, I always read it as Seth, but not anymore :). Clemson
Big12 guy • 05/15/25 05:52 PM ET
The reason I don’t close the door, is I think the B1G wants in the South,
Stech • 05/15/25 06:14 PM ET
If the BIG wants in the South, GT makes more sense for them then
Big12 guy • 05/15/25 07:59 PM ET
Clemson would probably not continue it.
Truthahn • 05/15/25 03:44 PM ET
The articles say it will continue
TerryD • 05/15/25 04:00 PM ET
Then it won't matter, because the ACC will implode into a G5, and-

Stech • 05/15/25 02:41 PM ET
There is no reasonable scenario where Clemson and/or FSU leave-
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/15/25 03:06 PM ET
If those two go, who else do you think is going and where?**
Stech • 05/15/25 03:58 PM ET
Without those two, the ACC loses half its football credibility.
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/15/25 04:52 PM ET
If the Big XII wants to enhance its value in basketball, then Duke and
VTHokie2000 • 05/15/25 04:49 PM ET
It may not take the Mag 7 leaving to blow up the ACC. If Clemson, FSU, and
VTHokie2000 • 05/15/25 02:57 PM ET
I think it takes 7, grab USF for Florida, and maybe another Fla school if
Stech • 05/15/25 03:14 PM ET
You may very well be correct. However, a case could be made that the Mag 7
VTHokie2000 • 05/15/25 03:23 PM ET
Then it should become a moot issue. Although I would love to see Notre
VTHokie2000 • 05/15/25 01:57 PM ET
Straight from the ACC Commissioner's mouth, Clemson ND not part of 5 games,
Stech • 05/15/25 01:36 PM ET
Yes, completely **
TerryD • 05/15/25 04:06 PM ET
I hope Notre Dame publicly has a different interpretation on the situation.
VTHokie2000 • 05/15/25 01:49 PM ET
If TerryD is right & ND says it's part of th ACC 5 aren't we already there?**
Stech • 05/15/25 01:58 PM ET
Technically no since I believe there are a few more years until it becomes
VTHokie2000 • 05/15/25 02:01 PM ET
Commissioner Phillips said it wasn't part of the 5, so I don't understand
Stech • 05/15/25 02:32 PM ET
That deal starts in 2029
TerryD • 05/15/25 04:07 PM ET
So before 2029 still 5 games, 2029 Clemson game doesn't count against th 5?**
Stech • 05/15/25 04:19 PM ET
According to this website, the 12-game Clemson-Notre Dame series does not

You are welcome and you are correct there are a lot of moving parts. I did
