If the ACC divided North/South, I would be calling the SEC and B1G.

Since Liberty & BYU are joining conferences,UVA is cancelling future games
HOO86 • 12/27/21 05:12 PM ET
Why would Liberty give up games with P5 teams?
Truthahn • 12/29/21 02:23 PM ET
You got conference games first
Mercury • 12/30/21 04:42 PM ET
When you go from being an Independent to joining a conference
VTHokie2000 • 12/29/21 04:41 PM ET
Scrapping divisions in the future?
Millpoint • 12/28/21 06:10 PM ET
If highest ranked Conference Champions get auto bids, this makes sense.
Stech • 12/28/21 10:40 PM ET
ACC tried a couple of years ago
Mercury • 12/28/21 09:00 PM ET
Delaney said he might have voted for it, but no one came to him about it
Stech • 12/28/21 10:41 PM ET
Wow, it implies Swofford didn't collaborate
Mercury • 12/29/21 10:04 AM ET
A reminder point in #3. Remember the B1X made their choice first...
EDGEMAN • 12/29/21 11:13 AM ET
If the ACC is able to get the bylaws changed to scrap the divisions,
VTHokie2000 • 12/28/21 09:58 PM ET
Dont think about it in terms of championship
Mercury • 12/30/21 03:41 PM ET
My point is that an increase in regular season rematches for the CCG could
VTHokie2000 • 12/31/21 09:27 PM ET
That would be terrific. It was Jim Delany who blocked that 7 years ago.
HOO86 • 12/28/21 06:13 PM ET
Yeah, this is where I am at, get rid of the divisions, Delaney said
Stech • 12/28/21 07:33 PM ET
Liberty might not want to pass up the money when VT plays at their place.
Lakeridgehokie • 12/28/21 11:34 AM ET
Exactly
Mercury • 12/28/21 05:45 PM ET
That's true. They're just working toward enough open dates for conference.
HOO86 • 12/28/21 02:52 PM ET
Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that Liberty joining a conference
Femoyer Hokie • 12/28/21 05:24 PM ET
Probably would give Liberty an out
mrcaniac • 12/31/21 01:42 PM ET
Don't know having not seen the contract.
HOO86 • 12/28/21 05:30 PM ET
Maybe but LU has tons of money.**

The ACC's decision to expand from 12 members to 14 members has had a bigger

We will have to agree to disagree, lack of Geographical Rivalry games has
Stech • 12/27/21 11:22 PM ET
This is when u let the tv folks make the calls
Mercury • 12/28/21 05:53 PM ET
But that is just it though. If the ACC had decided to remain at 12 members
VTHokie2000 • 12/28/21 12:47 PM ET
We are 14, probably need 16 like the SEC, but get it done, no excuses, the

Align the conference on primary focus: football vs. basketball?**
LHSHokie • 12/28/21 03:50 PM ET
Sun Belt was a big winner in this latest expansion round. Looks like a
wwhokie1 • 12/28/21 02:33 PM ET
If the ACC expanded to 16, then it is likely the ACC would go North-South
VTHokie2000 • 12/28/21 01:11 PM ET
If the ACC divided North/South, I would be calling the SEC and B1G. ** ◄

If the ACC divided North/South, then don't be surprised if
VTHokie2000 • 12/28/21 03:01 PM ET
That would be the kiss of death for VT football matchups
EDGEMAN • 12/28/21 01:21 PM ET
WVU could be #15, but I wouldn't hold your breathe about ND being #16
VTHokie2000 • 12/28/21 01:27 PM ET
Lets see, no, no, no, and no!
EDGEMAN • 12/28/21 01:51 PM ET
Its both
TerryD • 12/28/21 05:09 PM ET
How would you.....
2hhoop3 • 12/28/21 10:54 AM ET
Even though the Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC went geographical in their divisions,
VTHokie2000 • 12/28/21 12:58 PM ET
Do not.....
2hhoop3 • 12/28/21 01:32 PM ET
Oh I agree there isn't a simple solution for the ACC
VTHokie2000 • 12/28/21 01:43 PM ET
I don't buy the public vs private divide, Mia is private, VT is public, was
Stech • 12/28/21 12:52 PM ET
??? So one of our best rivalries was when we were both top ten teams
RTFC • 01/04/22 02:25 AM ET
I am for no divisions, but playing each other more often than anything now,
Stech • 01/04/22 07:20 AM ET
Agree 100% on no divisions
RTFC • 01/04/22 11:22 AM ET
I do have a perspective that the ACC style of football not exciting
Mercury • 12/28/21 09:10 PM ET
I agree, the Coastal got coaches enamored with offense and got soft, more
Stech • 12/28/21 09:18 PM ET
Im looking forward to old Miami VT smack down
Mercury • 12/29/21 12:06 PM ET
Not asking you to buy it......

Just do it, now explain to me why it can’t be done?**

If the ACC opts to go with a North/South alignment, then there isn't a
VTHokie2000 • 12/28/21 10:17 PM ET
Not the way it works sport.....
2hhoop3 • 12/28/21 07:54 PM ET
Stop the sport condescending approach, your arrogance is not appreciated.
Stech • 12/28/21 08:02 PM ET
Not condescending at all......
2hhoop3 • 12/28/21 08:08 PM ET
Most people understand close geographical, but since you don’t, and won’t
Stech • 12/28/21 08:32 PM ET
Talk about condescending..
2hhoop3 • 12/28/21 09:01 PM ET
You really need to look in the mirror, you are describing yourself, you
Stech • 12/28/21 09:12 PM ET
You should take your own advice
2hhoop3 • 12/28/21 09:26 PM ET
North and South, with the exception of Miami and most likely 1 Virginia
Stech • 12/28/21 09:57 PM ET
Thanks for reply.....
2hhoop3 • 12/28/21 10:19 PM ET
We agree 😁. Hopefully Jim Phillips can get that through this time. Delaney
Stech • 12/28/21 10:25 PM ET
We do agree.....

Yep, ACC could provide much more compelling TV matchups with actually
wwhokie1 • 12/28/21 10:50 AM ET
Would love for the ACC to ask teams if their cross-over game was important
EDGEMAN • 12/28/21 11:30 AM ET
But would VT play those teams more though? If you look at the Big Ten's
VTHokie2000 • 12/28/21 01:06 PM ET
It would be more often than having BC stuck on our schedule every year
EDGEMAN • 12/28/21 01:19 PM ET
If VT is going to switch the Atlantic, then the swap should be with either
VTHokie2000 • 12/28/21 01:23 PM ET
Would prefer to play more teams from the Alliance.
