If it takes 11 votes of 14 to kick out Louisville...that would mean that 3 dissenters (other than Louisville's vote) would stop the process.

I could see a difficulty in getting 11 of the 13 to vote "out"....
 
If Louisville abstains due to conflict of interest, they should not be counted in the denominator either.

13 x 0.75 = 9.75 = 10.

It depends how the provision is interpreted
 
Under Roberts Rs...

....if the vote required is a majority or two thirds of the members present, or a majority or two thirds of the entire membership, an abstention will have the same effect as a “no” vote. Even in such a case, however, an abstention is not a vote.... and is not counted as a vote. [RONR (11th ed.), p. 400, ll. 7-12; p. 401, ll. 8-11; p. 403, ll. 13-24; see also p. 66 of RONRIB.]
 
I hope Herbst and AD Dave are reaching out to ACC school presidents and quietly laying the ground work for us to get an invite (whether or not Louisville gets the boot).

I read in one of the articles posted on the BY the last couple of days that only 3 school presidents and ADs remain that voted on Louisville's entry back in 2012.

The ACC may now want to prove that academics is important to them again after inviting that academic dumpster fire.

Plus, did I read somewhere on here that the new ACC Network wants NYC content? Maybe I dreamt that.

But this could be the perfect storm.

Lastly, it's pretty much a given that the ACC school presidents will at the very least discuss kicking out Louisville. Whether they do or not is another story. Nothing riveting about the Dude's tweets.
 
If AD Dave is reaching out to anyone, it will be to Auburn, Louisville, And Arizona to discuss who and where to send his resume to for the AD job opening.

The ACC probably can't kick out Louisville...with UNC percolating as they have been....

And, would Miami vote against them? After their own escapades with boats and ho's?

For the football schools, the basketball side can go to hell as long as football continues ranked (now 22 straight weeks).

Basketball sanctions? Yessirree....kicked out? I doubt it.

That's a bit presumptuous to say the least. And why in hell would he (or anyone) want to go be the AD at Louisville in the current environment. I agree with the post above. I doubt that Dave rolls that way.
 
We certainly didn't see Warde hang around for long, even after his strikeout with the ACC. AD Dave seems to be making strides here, so I would not be surprised to see him jump to be back in the P5 limelight. Don't trust anyone.

Louisville? Why was it always his dream to manage a flaming pile of poo?

Auburn, on the other hand, scares me.

I don't see any scenario where Louisville gets booted from The ACC. It would open a door that I strongly suspect schools like UNC and Miami desire to remain closed. Louisville is going to receive stiff penalties. Vacated wins, scholarship losses, and post season bans will all be on the table. They may also face financial repercussions from The ACC as well. They won't receive the death penalty as it effects other conference members negatively in both scheduling and broadcasting.

The way their 2018 recruiting class is running for the doors, they've already gotten one, of a sort.
 
I don't see AD Dave making any move to a school involved with this fiasco, especially UL. Auburn may be a candidate depending on how deep they are with this stuff. It very well could be Pearl and staff going rogue and a simple clean house there would clear them. In that case, there's not much we can do if he wants that job.

I hear the ACC is very worried that the Louisville scandal is just beginning.

Christopher Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV Oct 7
The ACC has a genuine fear that UL's athletic program will devastated top to bottom in both money sports.

Christopher Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV Oct 7
This is very bad news for WVU potentially. Can anybody guess why despite the obvious GoR issue?

Bernardo4Real‏ @Bernardo4real Oct 7

do we play them coming up?

Christopher Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV Oct 7
No, if UL is devastated and given the death penalty in hoops & gets booted from ACC then ND gives them even # of members.

Julius Johnson‏ @JuliusJ85224635 Oct 7
ND is not giving up thief Independence in Football anytime soon. It's the Big 12 GOR which would keep us out of ACC if UL gets thrown out.

Christopher Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV Oct 7
I agree... the potential is there though and if UL gets booted the ACC would be at even members if ND joined.

There is a zero percent chance UL is kicked out of the conf. They will be penalized heavily, but not booted.

Bernardo4Real‏ @Bernardo4real Oct 7
I happen to like the big 12- I would like to stay.

I love the Big 12, but I miss Pitt, VT and Syracuse. Call me old skool.

Julius Johnson‏ @JuliusJ85224635 Oct 7
Big 12 GOR is our hurdle if ACC goes to uneven schools in next couple of years. ND has no interest.

Christopher Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV Oct 7
Replying to @JuliusJ85224635 @Bernardo4real
Big 12 GoR isn't a hurdle...it's an insurmountable barrier.

Julius Johnson‏ @JuliusJ85224635 Oct 7
Correct.
 
The ACC has already told WVU multiple times they were not interested. WVU is just another Louisville except they haven't been caught yet.
 
I can sleep tonight. The moonshine is flowing again



Fans of Uconn, USF, UCF, BYU. Cincy, Houston fear not. You will not be left behind.

Look, I think the landscape will change and the demise of cable will be a part of it but he's huffing if he still thinks that WVU is some kind kind of prized possession.

Every single school in Pac12 has already tried to negotiate a landing spot in the event the conference folds.

MH ver3‏ @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
AZ and ASU were the first to do so last year with the B12. It's what quelled expansion then.

MH ver3‏ @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
B12 realized it didn't need to expand yet. It just needed to wait out the Pac12.

The delusional ramblings of a lunatic mind.

Pac 12 isn't in the best shape of the conferences, but it is an island unto itself. It's secure. The challenges it has cannot be alleviated by changing conferences. That would make them worse. Their main issue is that people in their primary markets (LA and the SF Bay area) don't give a rat's ass about college sports. Or pro sports really in most cases.

I think Colorado would go to the B1G, if invited. Aside from that, the Pac 12 is going nowhere.
