The reason I don’t close the door, is I think the B1G wants in the South,

that said, I don’t know, I don’t think they would bring much to the SEC being a small state and already having South Carolina. On the other hand they would move the scale playing B1G teams, the ND matchups have proved that.

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-
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/15/25 02:32 PM ET
Maybe if Mag 7 go, but Clemson or even FSU alone won't blow it up, ACC can
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

Thanks, man this thing has a lot of moving parts and pieces, many which
Stech • 05/15/25 03:04 PM ET
You are welcome and you are correct there are a lot of moving parts. I did
