# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. I think there's probably a much larger "make ND join full out" contingent.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. Uggh, neither.
Preferably: 10 game ACC schedule, 2 P5 opponents, 1 1-AA team open scrimmage in August
Pretty damn good: 9 game ACC schedule, 2 P5 opponents, 1 cupcake
What VT has planned out in the future: 8 game ACC schedule, 2 P5 opponents, ECU in perpetuity, cupcake
Worse: 9 game ACC schedule, 1 P5 opponent, ECU, cupcake
At least we would get FSU/Clem more often, but at the cost of a PSU, Wisky, Michigan, WVU, UMD type of game in the future.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. Don't think thats allowable. ND has no shot at the ACC championship therefore you can't count their games as conference games.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. am I alone in thinking we should just boot ND to the curb (read: get rid of the required 5 ACC games/year for ND) and go to a 9 game schedule with a plus1 for other P5 teams? I hate ND and they don't need the ACC. We shouldn't want them.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. FSU, Clemson, GT, and UL. One of these things is not like the others. Wait, Kentucky is in the SEC?
Good news for fencing fans. Daryl Homer will be in the semi finals of the individual men's saber at 5:50 EST tonight on CNBC!

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. Or...make ND count as a conference game? Call it the (8+1)+1 plan. where you have 8 conference games plus 1 conference OR ND game and 1 out of conference P5 game.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. I think FSU, Clemson, GT, and Louisville's reasoning against is valid. That being said I want to see us play the other ACC opponents more often, I wish we could just scrap the cross-divisional rival.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. Finding P5 opponents could be difficult with an 8 + 2, doesn't every other P5 conference play 9 game schedules already other than us and the SEC?
Thank you very much for your considerate and well positioned argument.
It will certainly lead me to consider that other people have different conditions and situations than my own.
I had not considered the hardship that the larger size of a bag may be for others. I will consider your position in the future of these sorts of discussions.
I stand humble and corrected.

Here, it's commercials with some Olympic events and lots of human interest stories mixed in.
Mostly, it's coverage of events Americans are participating in, and in depth coverage of the American athletes. Sometimes they include a sample performance of the top competitors from another country, but usually only if it's an even Americans are expected to win or be competitive in.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. I think the concern from those that have an SEC rivalry game is Notre Dame. On the years they play Notre Dame, they would have 9 ACC + 1 SEC + 1 ND, leaving only one cream puff.
Personally, like most others here, I would like to see the 9-game schedule in order to play the other teams more frequently.

EDIT: I could have sworn I was putting this up in response to a question about sling tv. Apparently not.
I am not a smart man...

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. They need to go to 9 game in conference schedule. That way ACC teams can play the other ACC teams more often than once every 6 years. At a minimum teams should play every other team at least once every 4 years.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. The benefit of this decision is that either way, FSU, Clemson, and GT still have to play 10 P5 teams. It's either 9 from the ACC + 1 or 8 ACC + 2. So if they don't really have any justification for complaining unless they're worried about more frequently matching up with a stronger ACC team. Where with the 8+2 system, they could kind of game the system by scheduling Purdue or Kansas consistently.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. Or just cycle through home and aways with poor teams like Kansas or Purdue. Every P5 conference has weak teams. The only problem is if they can't schedule with one of them, then they have to play a team that's equal or better than the average ACC team. It's probably in their best interest to take the 9 game schedule. That way they only get hit hard when they play Notre Dame. But, that can be debated.
Answering your edit, there are a number of threads over the last year or so where myself and a few others have extolled the virtues of getting slingtv if you are trying to cut the cord. I think the conclusion is the price is right and if you want to watch ESPN or ESPN2, just log into the ESPN app with your slingtv credentials. The slingtv app sucks (buffering, pixelation, just overall incapable of streaming) but if you're only paying for it for access to sports, then just log into the ESPN app instead. Now you'll just need to pay Comcast for fast streaming internet.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. I'm just going off the proposed schedule where Tech would have gone to Tallahassee after that great game in Lane. Had tickets and everything lined up. Maybe with the change Tech can also get UNC and Duke back to alternating years in VA and NC.
Should have been called up in 2014 I think. Needed that physical, hold-up the play striker once Jozy went down. Thought he could have done the job.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. valid point. So they can take a risk and schedule Purdue out every year for the next millennium (ECU, anyone?) and hope they never get good.

# | Teel Time, ACC Athletic Directors to vote on 8 or 9 game conference schedule Friday. After approving Pitt and Syracuse's admission, the ACC adopted a nine-game format in 2012 but reversed course eight months later in the wake of adding Notre Dame as a partial member – the Fighting Irish play, on average, five football games a year against rotating ACC opponents.
If our conference forces us to play someone, it should count as a conference game. And before the ECU jokes start, that is a self inflicted wound, not an ACC dictated one.
