ACC 2020 Schedule: 10+1?

Exit 4 said:
So if we want to be a +1 to the ACC we have to hit the road....over and over again. Crud.

I could see all parties mutually agreeing for the UNC and UVA games to be swapped to Syracuse and BC.

Its about go time now on the game of chicken. Does AD David Benedict book some games and commit this school to fall football or does he turn off the phone? The moment is about to come.

Made to order for Clemson, FSU, GT, Louisville and OK for North Carolina, Virginia...but what about Pitt, Cuse, and the others?
 
Sources tell me UConn moving closer to a 5 game series each with Army and UMass. Sources not too serious...yet.

AD David Benedict probably has until about Friday 8/7 to make some decisions. Schedule replacement games or shut it down.

The problem - no FBS program has quit yet.

ACC did ND a huge favor - check out their home/away schedule

This assumes fans in stands. unlikely, even at small percentage capacity. It could be played on mars to same impact.

UCONN should wait as long as they can to make a decision. There is no benefit to being the first to fold up shop, nobody would follow our lead.

I would expect the start date on the season to be pushed back at least a couple weeks to buy more time, plus they should let the NFL start the season and see if there is anything to be learned from them.
 
Will Navy reverse plans to travel to South Bend for the +1 game? TBD

UConn schedule - Based on the ACC news of the 10+1 schedule and SEC rumors of conf only schedule.

Looks like UConn will officially have four games left on the schedule when the does settles.
ND's old schedule before 10+1 was announced

Wagner is likely an option for us. You have to assume Miami won’t pay them to fly from NY to FL to play and will choose either Temple or UAB instead
 
First of many? VT Caleb Farley is opting out of season to prepare for NFL draft.

 
Guess I should bet ND cancels the Arkansas game ahead of the Navy game given the the streak. Navy would have to head to South Bend per the new ACC +1 rules.
 
As it relates to currently schedules UVA/UNC games:

>>All non-conference game opponents, selected by the respective school, must be played in the home state of the ACC institution, and all non-conference opponents must meet the medical protocol requirements as agreed upon by the ACC<<

So silly, just postpone the season to 2021
 
Too much $$ to just cancel the season. They will need to be forced away from the trough.

and still, there will not be a season. Maybe some games, but not much. NFL players reporting Covid now and their protocols are far more extreme.

Yes. But there are antitrust issues involved in groups of colleges cancelling contracts with those outside a cabal and not inside it. Not that anyone seems to care about antitrust issues in college sports.

The P5 conferences are engaging in dangerous and magical thinking. The entire fall plan is built around their conference TV contracts, not player or coach safety. I don't know the negligence statutes in every state, but if they are like Connecticut, there is no waiver for negligence. Which means, any player or coach that gets seriously ill or dies can sue the school and the individual AD's and presidents for negligence, and a schedule that takes no steps to protect the players could be all that is needed to win the case. It could also provide enough of a window for the schools' liability insurers to deny coverage. Also not clear if the state universities have to indemnify the ADs or Presidents if they do something that violates recommended state health or CDC policy.

Streak is broken. Guess this will be a trivia question someday.
 
Guess everyone has decided its a good time to talk about finances.
 
Every school attempting to play will need to work hard to get buy in from the players and for some programs it just might not happen. Forfeits seem likely along the way.


 
For what it's worth, an ACC with Notre Dame as a full member can easily go up against the SEC in football.
