Then FSU and Clemson should demand the same deal. It is ridiculous that people want to actually cater to these programs and don't think the other programs in the conference will get pissed off about preferential treatment.

Considering that FSU and Clemson are already fully in the ACC, it'd be pointless. Remember the purpose of the deal is to "rent out a room, before arriving".

Also two very good reasons for why FSU and Clemson wouldn't get the same deal:

Florida State and Clemson have smaller fan bases than Notre Dame and Texas.

Florida State and Clemson have weaker non-football sports, compared to Notre Dame and Texas.

It's a cheerleader rumor, so it's good as gold on here.

It's called having a discussion instead of attacking every post.

Every negative rumor is attacked, every positive rumor is embraced.

I guess we can only have discussions around here as long as they fit the cheerleader agenda.

Can't say I embraced every positive rumor.

Make that stand up in a court of law.

Except for North Carolina, since the cheerleaders have already indicated the only reason the ACC is going to win it's lawsuit against Maryland is the fact that NC's judicial system is as crooked as Kellersville Rd in Boone, NC.

It's called common sense. Why should these teams that have done nothing for the conference just get to walk right in for all other sports while getting out of things for football?

I don't think ACC apocalypse is close to happening but it would be fun to watch Wake suffer if it did come to that point.....

It was a shot at the post above yours.

But if WF gets demoted to a junior varisty league, I suppose I could just do like you did and glob on to the nearest relevant program. Must be fun to pretend you have some sort of connection to the big boys.

We can discuss anything. If you would be a little more respectful of fellow posters you would get a much better reception. Stop acting childish and labeling people cheerleaders for one. If you want to represent a different opinion then by all means do it.

The problem with Margie is that she is just here to troll. Ninety percent of her posts have been:

"The ACC sucks. FSU is too good for this conference. None of you are worthy to be in a conference with us. FSU is God's gift to football. Nobody has a football team that tries like FSU."

I don't really even believe that rumor I put is true. I have seen it on two different boards. I thought it was an interesting addition to the discussion whether it were true or not. I never represented it as fact. If you want to refute it, then have at it.

You calling someone else a troll?

HILARIOUS.

The two differences between you and Marge is the fact that you blindly support the ACC, and you attack anybody that doesn't agree with you both in posts and on the reputation meter. The next time you add something of true value to any discussion will be the first time. You are the Logan Thomas of the ACCBBS. You have all the measurables, it's just the nasty truth that you have never really proven anything at all.

That's the childish response I expected from you.

Did you cheer a college sports team before going to college? Can nobody be a fan until they get to be college aged?

I do have connections to FSU. Plenty of family members went there. We have been over this before.

Perhaps I should just lock every rumor regardless of its positive or negative. The fact that no one is allowed to have an opinion baffles me. This is a discussion board, people are going to have different opinions. 0 reason why both sides of the spectrum can't coexist. And there was times people attacked me for having a different opinion. Grow up y'all.
