What's this?

Would a 9-game schedule be enough to trigger TV arbitration?

If so, then we should try that. I know the teams with yearly SEC series don't want 9 ACC games because there would be years where they would also have an SEC rival plus ND. To help those teams we should designate the ACC ND games as conference games. That way, a 9 game schedule is not an additional hardship for any team. I'd rather play a 9 game ACC schedule anyway, and it the ND game counts, so much the better.

I'm not sure how the math works out on that, that might not work completely in years where there is an odd number of ACC ND games. I think you might have to limit it to an even number, and randomly drop one out of that arrangement. I did notice that we have years where there are 4 and 6 ND games coming up, so no issue with those (2022 is 4, 2023 is 6, etc.).

For those who believe the ND deal with ACC is bad, please explain? -- gman86 04/23/2021 10:44AM

Sometimes it's the principle.....Kinda like being ok with your wife dating -- CrystalCoveHokie 04/27/2021 7:56PM

I personally like the 5 game deal...Tech gets to play them way more than -- Mongotek 04/24/2021 1:09PM

I would like to get Maryland back along with West Virginia. -- Maroon Baboon 04/26/2021 6:22PM

Why do you keep posting about posters beating up ND posters? It’s not true. -- Stech 04/23/2021 7:26PM

I disagree. ND as a full time member would be huge, way beyond the benefit -- Maroon Baboon 04/26/2021 6:17PM

I am with you on Virginia Tech being great again with FSU & Miami, not -- Stech 04/28/2021 8:43PM

I believe the assumption is that if Notre Dame was a full member in the ACC -- VTHokie2000 04/28/2021 9:13PM

Unless there is something like Texas plus joining the ACC, I don't see ND -- Stech 04/29/2021 12:52PM

I agree it is unlikely that Notre Dame will give up its NBC contract -- VTHokie2000 04/29/2021 1:03PM

ND likes NBC for the OVA coverage and dedicated broadcast times/slots -- TerryD 04/29/2021 3:12PM

I hope ND keeps NBC even as full member. -- HOO86 04/29/2021 7:38PM

I wasn't assuming that Notre Dame would insist on keeping the NBC contract -- VTHokie2000 04/29/2021 3:34PM

Swofford was ok with ND keeping NBC as member. -- HOO86 04/29/2021 7:40PM

ESPN may not be okay with it though ** -- VTHokie2000 04/29/2021 7:49PM

It expires by its terms in 2025 -- TerryD 04/29/2021 4:40PM

I am assuming that NBC will renew it for X number of years -- VTHokie2000 04/29/2021 6:23PM

You missed one positive. There would be no ACC Network without ND. -- TerryD 04/23/2021 1:55PM

Moving a home game to an NFL stadium is rubbish -- Tailgate Guru 04/25/2021 9:36PM

ACCN received a better agreement with ND, but there would've been a Channel -- Stech 04/25/2021 09:38AM

Would much rather see FSU, Miami, and VT rise again instead of ND join full ** -- wwhokie1 04/28/2021 10:49PM

How will that generate more TV cash to the ACC before 2037? ** -- TerryD 04/28/2021 11:02PM

Increase viewership for the ACC Network. ** -- wwhokie1 04/29/2021 10:25AM

Schools raised their prices when VT came to town. That's not unusual. -- EDGEMAN 04/23/2021 4:35PM

Its demand -- TerryD 04/23/2021 4:55PM

That's not unique to Notre Dame -- Tailgate Guru 04/26/2021 10:19AM

Unique or not, it is a benefit of having ND come to town via a 5 game deal ** -- TerryD 04/26/2021 11:21AM

Sure, but the real benefit for both sides is television-related -- Tailgate Guru 04/26/2021 1:09PM

ND deal has 2 or 3 games a year depending on the year on ESPN, the others -- Stech 04/26/2021 12:49PM

ND has 7 home games a year -- Colonel Jessup 04/26/2021 4:08PM

Would a 9-game schedule be enough to trigger TV arbitration? -- Truthahn 04/27/2021 1:41PM

Right now 5 ACC games with 2-3 a year on ESPN, even if they join I don't -- Stech 04/27/2021 12:57PM
