Minor shakeup coming - BE4neva - 03-01-2015 09:37 PM
Actually it's pretty major. My sources in Ohio are telling me the following.
Cincy was told by the ACC a while back when LVille was accepted that they needed to hVe certain measures met in order to get invited down the line. Supposedly the ACC told them they needed to have a stadium at least 40k as there home. That's the real reason why they expanded and spent all that money with no real reason to at the time. They are expecting to get invited to the ACC this calendar year. Who is 16? It's ND. They are joining full. They have seen the new system now nd know that if they want to be a yearly threat to get a playoff invite they need that 13th game. In order to make this possible NBC will have a significant share of the ACCN and help espn with cash to buy back what's needed from Raycom. I'm told ND has asked to play its division and a crossover. So the league will be at a 9 game schedule which means 2 cross over games but ND will play 1. So 1 team a year over a 15 year rotation will also miss 1 crossover and as result have a 4th OOC game. This level ND with 4 OOC every year. USc, Stan an Navy are in. They get to keep those all important games. Then they get one extra slot to do as they wise. Works out well for all involved it seems.

Rumors abound.
RE: Minor shakeup coming - georgia_tech_swagger - 03-01-2015 10:09 PM
But what does the dude think?!
The ACC does nothing until the GOR expires. What happens then depends upon how well the ACCN goes. The ACC's big advantage is the sheer number of television sets in the footprint, and the fact that it can draw people to those TV's nearly year round, though in admittedly diminishing volumes (football --> basketball --> baseball). If the ACC can press home the TV set advantage into a big financial advantage ... then I think bigger game than Cincinnati is on the table. If I were Swofford and I was #1 in revenue ... I'd go for Tennessee first. Pedo State second.

They can get a bid with Kansas now to the Big Ten. If the ACC goes to 16, the Big Ten and SEC will follow. The key will be what will the PAC-12 do?
RE: Minor shakeup coming - bluesox - 03-01-2015 10:31 PM
I guess you do have the BYU AD comments. If the acc were jumping to 16 with ND, the most likely picks would be
Uconn
Cincy
WVU- get a deal with the big 12 to release them and take byu.
Of course that would be after calling some of these:
Penn State
Texas
Florida
UGA
Kentucky
South Carolina
BYU- football only
Navy- football only

Per the NC State (not West Virginia) board.

Pack Fans:
Heard from a very credible source that ND will join ACC in FB in 2016 in exchange for NBC hosting the ACC TV Network. Not sure about split of revenue for existing NBC home ND FB games. Also NBC will buy out Raycom's share of ACC inventory. Will try to confirm this with another source this week. Can share this as I was not asked to keep it confidential.

BUT ITS HAPPENING! As an NIU fan, I'll eagerly watch and wait for the move for us to the AAC.

That doesn't sound outlandish, though it still seems weird to see ND give away independence.
