Well, if ND we’re actually in a conference for football…

Maybe their concern/opinion would carry more weight. In this case, we shouldn’t change the face of our conference based on pressure from a school that isn’t guaranteed to be here for the long-term

On3: As their cruel summer continues, where do Pac-12 schools turn next?

Tell ND the ACC will add Stanford and Cal if they join too.

Agree 1000%**
NativeBurger 08/11/23 02:42 PM ET
I think they should stay home.

LOL Swarbrick you won't add 1 more game to help them!! Look in the mirror!!
Stech 08/11/23 10:18 AM ET

I agree the whole Swarbrick fiasco was very tone deaf and hypocritical. But

Are you talking about the negotiations between Jack Swarbrick,
WBGV 08/11/23 05:00 PM ET
At this point, every statement being made is posturing for something
Vienna_Hokie 08/11/23 11:08 AM ET
Yep, I have negotiated both sports & business agreements, so much posturing
Stech 08/11/23 11:24 AM ET
You nailed it on the last line why IMHO they won't add a 6th game, but
Stech 08/11/23 10:43 AM ET
I agree. Thankfully the ACC teams have finally woken up! Yeah!!!**

They have a home. They should keep it going
HokieAl 08/11/23 09:47 AM ET
Maybe if the Pac-4 do as you say, why not invite a few FCS schools looking
Maroon Baboon 08/11/23 12:26 PM ET
By NCAA rules, they would need to add either 3 or 4 teams by 2024.
Atlee Hokie 08/11/23 12:24 PM ET
I think it's six teams. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Maroon Baboon 08/11/23 12:35 PM ET
I know it used to be six teams, and probably still is.**
RJHokie 08/11/23 12:40 PM ET
I would totally watch Oregon State at Montana (bucket list stadium)**
Maroon Baboon 08/11/23 12:48 PM ET
While you in that neck of the woods, pick up the Kibbie Dome. **

There are a million different possible permeations out there but

I think that The B1G will continue to add Western programs, but the ones

If they were keeping a spot open for Stanford and Cal, why not take them
wwhokie1 08/11/23 09:57 AM ET
Bingo. Keeping schools on the back burner hurts the back burner school.
Maroon Baboon 08/11/23 12:10 PM ET
Precisely, why diminish their value if you have plans to add them?
obguthr 08/11/23 10:14 AM ET
Sometimes the conference needs to take a desirable team when the team is

1) OSU-nw & WSU should just apply to MWC and get it over with,

Would also prefer Oregon State and Wazzu if all other things were equal
Maroon Baboon 08/11/23 02:54 PM ET
There should be zero concessions made to FSU. Even if the ACC someshow

Yep, FSU has always had an enormous ego.
