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

The ACC will have to add one football member to get to 9 games.

True, but I would think the ACC would take the Memphis offer that they made to the Big 12. That said, I don't think the ACC is adding anyone until after 2030/2031 when the exit fee declines.

Apparently one of the solutions floating around is 12 teams play 9 games, and the other 5 get to count their ND game for ACC standing purposes.
Expand ...
That would be unfair to those teams as ND is a more difficult opponent than the ACC average.
 
And you also have 4 set annual games with the ACC/SEC.....FSU-Florida, Clemson-South Carolina, Louisville-Kentucky, GT-Georgia plus other scheduled SEC matches post 2025..will they cancel ?

2026-2030:

2026, FSU-Bama, 2027-28..FSU-Georgia,

Between 2026 and 2030..Miami has Florida, H&H's with South Carolina, Auburn

Louisville has H&H's with Georgia, Texas A&M

SMU has Oklahoma and H&H's with LSU

Syracuse, BC, Pitt, VT, Virginia, Cal, Stanford, Wake, Duke, NC State, UNC aren't playing the SEC through 2030

17 teams each playing 9 times is 17x9=153. Each game has two teams so 153÷2=76.5 games. Can't play a 1/2 game.

Each year one team gets to play a 10th conference game against bcu. consider it a bonus W while the loss doesn't count against bcu. It really doesn't matter in the grand scheme when you have so many teams in a conference and the schedules are unbalanced.

But it's more than that. The founder of FedEx went to Yale. We just don't have the same state pride in the Northeast as other regions. The millionaire/billionaire Connecticut residents that went to Ivy League (or other non-sports focused schools) should support UConn athletics as a state pride / professional-like option. But they don't.

It's not just UConn. Rutgers and UMass aren't pulling from the millionaire/billionaire NJ/Mass residents. Rutgers doesn't even get big donations from its billionaire alums. Home Depot founder Bernard Marcus gives nothing to Rutgers.

Lets be real, it's a stupid thing to spend money on.

I don't necessarily disagree. I think they whole system is ridiculous. But, in other states, they don't think it's stupid. I guess if I had billions I'd consider buying players for the school each year.
 
I am now seeing an emergence of a Big Two more than a reconstituted NFL like college football scene.

The SEC is allowing its members to use any P4 school to meet the requirement to play one "power" (ACC, B1G, Big 12) OOC game in addition to the 9 SEC conf games. This takes care of the four SEC schools with in state ACC rivalries.

The P2 has the real power, but the P4 remains a thing.

The SEC is acting like they will work with the B1G, but that the SEC intends to stay a separate conference and will not go into a blender with the B1G to create an NFL type structure. Well, that's how it looks to me this week. It can change.

Is this a ‘Key Tweet’ or ‘Non-Key Tweet’.

Seems unlikely but really hoping you keep the road game @ App in 2033. Know that’s been rescheduled a few times but would be awesome to see the Cocks in Boone.
 
i now have the ACC/FSU Settlement Agreement....Under the Section 1.6.2 Required Vote...the required voting for listed activities, including addition of members is listed (and which are absolute 3/4 or 2/3)..It becomes clearer.

BUT..1.6.2.1 "notwithstands" all of that for the required FSU and Clemson approval.

"Notwithstanding the foregoing" means despite what was previously stated or mentioned. In legal and contractual contexts, it's a phrase that signals the clause that follows takes priority and overrides any conflicting terms or statements in the preceding text. It effectively makes the subsequent provision apply regardless of anything that came before it. "



1.6.2.1. Specific Member Agreements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Clemson University or Florida State University
remain a Member of the Conference, to the extent the vote, approval or consent of a Director
representing Clemson University or the Director representing Florida State University, or both, as
applicable is required pursuant to a written agreement between the Conference and Clemson University or Florida State University, then the vote or written consent of the Director representing Clemson University or the Director representing Florida State University, or both, as applicable shall be required regardless of the voting thresholds otherwise required for such actions set forth in this Section 1.6.2 or otherwise in this Constitution and the Bylaws (it being understood that such vote by the Director representing such Member may be counted toward any quorum or voting threshold requirement otherwise applicable).

This Section 1.6.2.1 may not be amended or modified without the affirmative vote of the Director representing Clemson University or the Director representing Florida State University, or both, as applicable .

Any purported action adopted in violation of this Section 1.6.2.1 shall be deemed null and void and therefore ineffective ab initio.
