I like that comment saying "I'll judge Beamer by his moves over the off season" a lot. If he doesn't fire at least 2 coaches in the off season, that tells me he is either inadequate and truly ignorant, or has completely given up on his goal for the national title. If that is the case, 2016 can't come soon enough. I do still have faith in him though. I will be one of the last people to write off CFB simply because he made us who we are, so I really hope he can get past his loyalty to make the necessary changes this year.

it's a pretty easy answer ... the ore sustainable is the one that generates more $$$ .. and since most people don't travel to away games anyway, MOST conferences stand to make more money by way of TV ... the sec is the one conference that REALLY values regional ties to a point.
...how do you know?
I am fat. I can eat a whole lot of turkey legs.
...athletic departments struggles. They didn't have another choice, they couldn't square their budget with ACC revenue.
VT is in the opposite position....now. We have a good job, for us to quit and take another job, one of two things must be true:
1. Our current employer is going out of business...or at least I stable and facing cutbacks..or
2. This new job pays really, really well.

We are playing different games. They are playing the B10network game, where the value is determined by the number of cable subscriptions. The ACC is playing the regional rivalry strengthens the conference game.
It's a flip in the relation of geography. The new model values geographic diversity. The old model valued regionalism. Which is the ore sustainable? Think carefully before you answer, it's not easy.
Last week was my best record of the season, and just went with the gut....so let's try it again. Good luck on the move, BCO!

You don't air your dirty laundry in public. You don't throw your coaching staff under the bus during the season. Major college coaches are CEOs, and CFB is one of the best at keeping his cards close to his vest.
My picks:
Ohio State -3.5
Oklahoma -6.5
Florida +7.5
UCLA +2.5
Clemson -3.5
Notre Dame -5.5

I think you guys are all forgetting about the academic side of this too. I know football makes all the money and that's all that really matters, but our big research partners are in the ACC. The SEC's academics are an absolute joke and we wouldn't get as much research funding because of it. I think we should stay in the ACC until FSU bolts and then start looking around, but I'm not sure the ACC will die no matter what. There are 4 Carolina schools and 2 Virginia schools that will want to make it work, you can still build on that.
It's tough to fight for a coaching change, without lessening support for the players/university. The football team is synonymous with the university, whether you like it or not. While the football team does not directly fund the university, it is our university's biggest marketing tool (See the 30% increase in applications Mike Vick's two year tenure here).
I believe Beamer is just as angry as much of the fans are, however, being the head of the program, he knows better than to discuss it publicly. While I do support an offensive coaching change (and I think it will happen) he knows he can't do it mid season. What's he supposed to, trash talk his coaches midseason? That just creates instability within the program. We're due for a bad season, but I'll judge Beamer by his moves over the off season.
Also, no one likes the white out game, but I believe those funds go to support Herma's Readers (I think that's the name?)
A good portion of concession sales go to the clubs and other groups running the stands as a fundraiser so it would make zero sense to penalize them.
Weaver is a part of the good ol boys club in the ACC. He's not going to do anything to jeopardize that while he is ad
