# | Hokies to play ND even less going forward than originally planned But again, this is the league setting it up for Clemson, FSU, Miami, and ND to operate outside the bounds of the rest of us, propping themselves up with more guaranteed bigger draw games (NBC will always get better ratings than CW or ACCN) that will inevitably guarantee them getting more revenue from the tv deal than anyone else, and there will be fuck-all we will be able to do about it.
I posted below but just to reiterate here that the games only count against the 5 games in years they were already scheduled which means this has a lot less effect on the ACC as a whole than I originally thought.
this clarification is pretty important:
More clarity from the ACC: The Notre Dame-Clemson games do count toward ND's five annual ACC games during years in which those games are already in the league's scheduling rotation. Other years, they do not count.— Ross Dellenger (@RossDellenger) May 6, 2025
Whit's response: A 12 year deal with the other ND. North Dakota. 4 home, 8 away.
This does seem to be something ESPN would want as well. Any chance it opens the door for the league to renegotiate? I would assume FSU tries something similar soon.
To be fair, I think it's more of an excuse to re-introduce/build upon a character that star wars nerds really like than it is plot device. But still :shrugs:
We are going to have a whole team of 'who the hell is that', plus 'what the hell are they running', and some blend of 'why the hell did they do that' coupled with 'when the hell will this be over". This is my fear.
I'm surprised the ACC is going along with this. How was this not covered by the overall contract with ND?
Sounds like there is still some wiggle room there. VT should try and secure a piece of the ND action.
Stay on the line to have the entire menu repeated

# | Hokies to play ND even less going forward than originally planned Yeah as time passes I realize I care far, far more about professional sports than I do college. College is just a complete shitshow where the rich have rules in place to ensure that the rich stay obscenely rich and the poor are actively pushed further into the dirt.
At least in the pros, everyone is generally set up on an even playing field due to revenue sharing, a salary cap, and salary floor as well as a draft that is set up to help prop up the worst teams to get back to relevance. If you do the right thing in the pros, any team can be the next dynasty.
If you do the right thing in college, your entire roster and coaching staff gets bought by someone else a month later.
And we don't have any better options unless the Big10 or SEC comes calling. The GoR doesn't expire until '36 (?), so we have to wait this out and then decide if we
renew or go independent.... College football is quickly becoming an afterthought for me... glad I was here for our glory years, but I'm mentally ready to move on from college football.

# | Hokies to play ND even less going forward than originally planned to try to corner the new revenue split model
lol shit you're right. With the new revenue model where ratings will drive payouts, they just walled themselves off from the rest of the conference to guarantee a disproportionate split of the pie.
The fact the conference is letting them get away with this, allowing them to walk all over the rest of us, is complete horseshit. Our conference leadership is not acting in the best interests of the conference anymore.

# | Hokies to play ND even less going forward than originally planned So ND, Miami, FSU, and Clemson formed their own cool kids table to try to corner the new revenue split model. Well at least we can really lean into that underdog/overlooked mentality again.
Awesome! Glad to see wrestling has enough of a rep to pull kids from California.
Ahh, okay, yeah I see that now
Thanks!
So what are we playing at DL this year? Has to be a 4 down front or they are moving the smaller DL out to end and going for bulk over speed. Siefkes has pioneered a 3 safety look, but I don't think we have the talent in the secondary for this. We have seen some tweener type LBs coming in and already on the roster, so maybe big line and speed-over-size behind with the exclusion of one run stopping LB?
Are we still falling, or have we already fallen there?
Is it because we're falling into irrelevancy?

# | Hokies to play ND even less going forward than originally planned Let's get some more ECU games in there while we're at it.
Inventing the future -> "Know your place"
Get real, it would be 2 in harrisonburg for every 1 in bburg ... but it will be worth it bc they share $50k of the ticket sales
This is all part of the strategy to appease Clemson and FSU. Note that the games will count against the 5-game commitment for ND to play ACC opponents. That means that there are only 3 slots available each season now to play ND since they already play Stanford annually. I doubt ND will grant the ACC an additional game per season. And you can bet that those remaining 3 slots will go to FSU and/or Miami each year.
Bring back Inventing the Future!
