Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

I won't pretend to understand what will help, so any reasonable suggestion is a good one. For F1 in particular, it's infrequent to see the guy leading at turn 1 not win the race. That's a problem.

The problem is basically F1 in a nutshell. It's always been like that.

Also the cars are so downforce dependent that when a faster car approaches a slower one, it gets into disturbed "dirty" air and the downforce decreases. The faster car loses grip and begins excessively wearing its tires down and it can't pass. Think of the trains of cars stuck behind a talentless hack like Lance Stroll.

When you introduce the Drag Reduction System (DRS) then the faster car is allowed to reduce it's drag in a straight line giving it a temporary performance advantage.

If you reduce the overall dependence on downforce then cars won't be so unstable running close to each other making overtaking more possible.

The idea here would be that ESPN cedes the Atlantic Coast for California?

When UCLA beat Penn State soundly, no one on the west coast watched, no one was in the stadium.

They're not ceding the Atlantic coast. Once UNC and UVA join the ACC, the SEC will have teams up the Atlantic coast from Florida through Virginia. Then there are no ACC teams in DC, MD, DE, PA (minus Pitt, which is in western PA), and NJ. That means the ACC would be "ceding" only Syracuse and BC on the Atlantic coast. That's not much to give up.

Why would UNC and Virginia join the ACC again?

Eventually, UNC and UVA may leave the ACC. Maybe to the SEC, or possibly B1G. Virginia Tech’s markedly larger alumni base than UVA’s and alumni and fans of other ACC schools ensure an ongoing ACC presence in NoVa and DC. Crazy enough, maybe a larger school than UVA may inexplicably end up in a new ACC V4.0 or whatever. /s

If UVA and VA Tech both leave 2 of Liberty, ODU, or James Madison will take the spots

No way the ACC is letting Liberty in.

Aside from that, there won't be much need for an ACC if it comes down to this.

I think in 2023, we were never really considered. A last minute backup option.

In 2024, we were actually on the verge of joining though. Until it got leaked and the people on the fence fully backed out.

Bit of an outlier but an interesting athletics program. Not great at basketball but make noise in some of the more niche non-rev sports

Usually pretty good at soccer and lax too

I just like to see us grouped with Notre Dame. 😉

If UConn ever plays ND again, and fans keep brining that up, ND might try and win by 100. Lol

Obviously doesn’t mean anything but the national narratives are changing. The Duke win reverberated across the CFB landscape. Gotta end the season on a high note.

From Don Amore's article in the Courant:

"In the ACC, it could be like this nearly every week. UConn would reverse the conference’s faded men’s basketball brand, put its women’s basketball back on the national map, and would be competitive, viable in football."

The biggest problem with UConn to the ACC is that the ACC grabbed SMU for no media revenues and Stanford and Cal for half media revenues. Would UConn join for no media revenues or half?

Heck Yes to the latter.

Well, it's not like it's for forever.
