Somehow I missed this UVA v WVU series announced last year

I saw it referenced in the article, and had to look it up. We rarely play WVU, but here we go. I don't know if teams are leaving early. I'd imagine that 8+2 school was put in to address that ND issue. ** Edited by HOO86 at 9/22/2025, 8:48:46 PM

ACC eyeing 10 P4 games, but will it be 9+1 or 8+2, ND games r problem 4 9+1
Stech • 09/19/25 12:08 AM ET
This appears to be the answer
HOO86 • 09/22/25 05:24 PM ET
Did VT know this was coming?
The_VT_Rock • 09/23/25 08:15 AM ET
1. Does it bring more money? It better 2. 17th team?**

Honestly didn’t see this happening, cynical, but are teams leaving earlier

HOO86 • 09/22/25 08:25 PM ET
I was surprised about UVA WVU game too, I wonder who voted for & against.
Stech • 09/22/25 09:17 PM ET
The amount power the ACC cedes to Clemson and FSU is sick.
Vippie1 • 09/21/25 11:15 AM ET
I can see why FSU,,

Imbalanced model might be the answer.
RandomAsianGuy • 09/19/25 01:20 PM ET
I'm sure VT is one of them, because you can usually count on VT doing the-

8+2,is where I see this landing because of the ND games, but if the SEC

The ACC is such hot garbage
HokieAl • 09/19/25 10:32 AM ET
The ACC is the Ottoman Empire c. 1910.
Maroon Baboon • 09/21/25 01:36 AM ET
It won't have to wait long. 3-4 years.**

Baltimore_Hokie • 09/19/25 10:02 AM ET
Seems like it depends on which OOC games the additional conference game(s)
Femoyer Hokie • 09/21/25 02:15 PM ET
I agree with everything in your post, but those points demonstrate another-
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/22/25 10:09 AM ET
Makes sense
thebluelot • 09/20/25 05:00 PM ET
You mean Wake Forest, Boston College, and SMU are overpaid.**
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/21/25 01:38 PM ET
Yep**
thebluelot • 09/21/25 01:46 PM ET
Is ESPN paying more to other conferences for a 9th? I honestly don’t know
Stech • 09/19/25 01:15 PM ET
The SEC is getting more. But ESPN didn’t want to pay initially.
RandomAsianGuy • 09/20/25 01:31 PM ET
Yep, they are def. paying the SEC more. A good amount more.
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/19/25 02:56 PM ET
Then 8+2 seems like a slam dunk now, could go to 9 later. I think 10 P4 is
Stech • 09/20/25 07:40 AM ET
The problem with 9 conference games is that teams won't have as much
VTHokie2000 • 09/20/25 12:40 PM ET
It makes zero sense in the ACC to go to 9 conf. games.
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/19/25 09:48 AM ET
Why would ND care either way ?**
TerryD • 09/19/25 09:03 AM ET
ND doesn’t want to play more ACC games, the teams playing ND will want 8,
Stech • 09/19/25 09:17 AM ET
You still didn't explain why ND would care what the ACC does
TerryD • 09/19/25 01:05 PM ET
It’s a given that ND only cares about themselves, but they are part of the
Stech • 09/19/25 01:10 PM ET
Jeez given the ACC predicament
Vippie1 • 09/19/25 08:45 AM ET
Would be more entertaining, but it’d probably make it harder to get coaches
Stech • 09/19/25 09:01 AM ET
I get that is probably the conventional wisdom
Vippie1 • 09/19/25 02:49 PM ET
ACC teams aren't going to be making the CFP field anyway.
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/19/25 09:51 AM ET
Toledo would win this year. **
Big12 guy • 09/19/25 09:57 AM ET
Toledo is usually no slouch.**
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/19/25 10:03 AM ET
BTW, they have quite the offensive line
Big12 guy • 09/19/25 10:09 AM ET
Speaking of ND games...
EDGEMAN • 09/19/25 08:08 AM ET
Good idea, but Jim “Dame” Phillips serves ND 1st & the rest of the ACC 2nd.
Stech • 09/19/25 09:10 AM ET
Was thinking more of Clemson signing the series with ND
EDGEMAN • 09/19/25 09:15 AM ET
Agreed that should happen, & ND should have gone to 6 ACC games expansion
Stech • 09/19/25 09:20 AM ET
The problem is that if the ACC tried to play hard ball, ND would just-
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/19/25 09:55 AM ET
It’s more than that IMHO, ND will lead the way to merge ACC & Big East when
Stech • 09/19/25 01:31 PM ET
SMU President spoke about it.
HOO86 • 09/19/25 11:28 PM ET
Of course presidents reference it.
Pylons • 09/21/25 06:02 PM ET
When it comes to academic rankings, perception is everything. **
Big12 guy • 09/22/25 07:30 AM ET
There it is again, even the SEC is talking about it for why UNC & UVA are
Stech • 09/20/25 12:39 AM ET
If academics meant that much, Utah and Colorado wouldn't be in the Big 12.
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/19/25 03:03 PM ET
Utah and Colorado had no where else to go, B10 didn’t want Stanford & Cal,
Stech • 09/20/25 12:34 AM ET
I'm not sure what any of that has to do with me saying you're wrong about-

Big12 guy • 09/19/25 09:58 AM ET
Much like when Texas had their own Longhorn station in the B12. Thank you,
Stech • 09/19/25 01:21 PM ET
I really don't understand, comparing Texas's situation
Big12 guy • 09/19/25 02:03 PM ET
We agree to disagree, next subject maybe we agree.**
Stech • 09/19/25 02:36 PM ET
OK, but please explain what we are disagreeing on. Honestly,
Big12 guy • 09/19/25 02:41 PM ET
Texas running the B12 with the LHN and not caring much about the conference
Stech • 09/19/25 02:57 PM ET
Well, then you are right, we disagree. You are
Big12 guy • 09/19/25 03:04 PM ET
Disappointment leads to anger
TerryD • 09/19/25 06:30 PM ET
