Of course, while that balances out home and road games in conference, it only leaves space for two nonconference games, which means it could be just as hard to get to seven home games on the season.
What better way to hide how bad the conference is than to limit the number of OOC opportunities against other major conferences. 10 conference games + your typical 1 FCS game leaves 1 game open.... and thats if they opt to use that against another bcs team.Quote:

An alliance doesn’t put additional money in the pockets of either conference since both of their T1 & T2 rights are tied up in long-term contracts.
Quote:
Such a scheduling alliance has zero effect on the bottom line.
And for ACC fans they annoying question persists: Why did Swofford reach out to Bowlsby? Most I spoke to yesterday about the move viewed it as an act of desperation by the ACC.
Quote:
According to my sources in the Big 10 the AAU status is still a big deal as federal research money is one of the primary factors in the Big 10 appealing to ACC schools, but Jim Delany believes a school, given the proper resources, mentorship and motivation can raise itself up to AAU standards and he is willing to consider offering schools without AAU status who have a viable plan to achieve the designation in the near future.
Why does anyone still listen to this idiot??? (Not you, Wesley)Quote:

In general I would agree, but in regards to the quotes Wesley posted, those seem pretty logical.Quote:

Is this one of those cases where, when the B1G or SEC picks off a couple of ACC schools, the Big 12 can say, "See? We tried, but with the changing landscape we're inviting..."? How long until either or both the B1G/SEC move past 14? Isn't 14 a scheduling nightmare?
An interesting article looking back to the past:

It has been going on a long time.
