Atlantic Coast Conference (Official Thread)

ACC returns to 8-conference-game football schedule with Notre Dame Fighting Irish independent again

The ACC plans to return to its normal eight-conference-game, divisional format -- with Notre Dame as an independent -- when the 2021 football season kicks off in September, the league announced Thursday.

In its release, the league noted that a return to play and the schedule as released are contingent on COVID-19 guidelines. Last season, the ACC made changes to its schedule to play during the coronavirus pandemic, including Notre Dame as a full-time conference member and playing 10 league games.

ACC to allow transfers within conference to play immediately

The Atlantic Coast Conference has eliminated its rule requiring athletes to sit out a season if they transfer within the league.

The move is the latest across college sports to loosen restrictions on transferring athletes so they can switch schools and play right away. The NCAA is moving toward making the so-called one-time exception available for all athletes.

Clemson football in a dangerous spot if it stays in the ACC

Thamel noted that the ACC is in a bad spot because of the deal it made with ESPN to get the ACC Network. The conference’s network is far behind the same revenue that the SEC Network produces and much of that has to do with the initial deal.

Keep in mind that deal runs through 2036.

“The ACC is in a difficult spot because it ate a bad deal from ESPN to get a linear network. Now it is frozen for two decades in an antiquated agreement, as the ACC gives schools more than $32 million per year,” Thamel wrote.

What might have looked like a fair deal in 2016, isn't all that great today. So did ESPN actually screw over the ACC with a 20 year "low ball" deal for the ACC Network?

:lol:

Gee 'id be too bad if Clemson couldn't get into the CFPs because they only played five games, especially if SC ducked their game just to fuck the tigers. I wonder if Coach Day would have any words of sympathy for Dabo?

On a scale on 1 to 100, my sympathy for Dabo would rank an 11.
