You are correct my bad guess we have to add Kansas in there since they are still "technically" part of the big 12 :lol: so yes 9+1 or 2

Ian is earning 3 years of salaries this year...hopefully he is enjoying the next few days. That was big about Conf USA. We may end up being impacted the least out of all Independents.

Liberty will have to adopt ACC Covid-19 protocols (or more stringent) to play ACC schools. I think that is what is holding this back.

It should not be a problem to enter NY. You can come in for 24 hours without a quarantine.

I don't think the ACC testing standards will be a problem for Liberty, nor do I think that is what is holding this up. I think it's simply the ACC schedule ,and for us, what are the MAC (Bowling Green), Sun Belt (ULM), and the Southern Conference (WCU) are all going to do.

Why would our other non ACC games be an issue - Syracuse is on the books with a firm date -ACC commish already said will integrate ACC schedule based on the plus 1 games. Rescheduling VT if they want us should be a simple move to week 2 For both of us and IF NC State wants us - the Already scheduled date shouldn’t be an issue.

I hadn’t heard that the ACC Commish had said that about scheduling. As for as the other schools, I’ve read that the Belt is doing 10 conference only games and I’ve read that they’re doing what CUSA is doing. I’ve heard nothing about the MAC and the Southern Conference.

If what you said about the ACC is true, we may only have to worry about Bowling Green and WCU.

Someone on Paul Finebaum show said that the reason SEC is only doing a conference schedule is to get back at ACC for adding Notre Dame to the conference. They're making sure no SEC school plays ACC school this season.
To me, that makes good sense. It's time someone stands up to ACC and their love for ND.

Why would anyone involved with the SEC care that the ACC has an arrangement with ND? The only reason I can think of is jealousy. :dontgetit

By playing a conference only schedule, SEC made sure none of their schools played ACC school in a high profile game. i.e. no Clemson vs South Carolina, no Florida vs FSU, no Georgia vs GT, etc.etc.

Yes, that was the EFFECT of the decision. What you are suggesting is that it was the REASON for the decision, as a punishment to the ACC for their sinful alliance with ND. Big difference.

That's basically what the individual said on the Finebaum show, I believe he used the term, "screw you ACC", when talking about it.
Big 10, Big 12, PAC 12 and SEC should all take shots at ACC/Notre Dame love affair, whenever the opportunity arises.

The diehard SEC fans, especially those who call into Finebaum's show, are a unique bunch that is for sure.

Worth paying attention to if and when they can demonstrate anyone is on board with it other than the person(s) who wrote and published it.

Not quite as outrageous a pandemic power grab as the Los Angeles teachers union is trying to pull off , but not too far behind.

On average, it costs $66,500 a year to attend UCLA and $75,000 to attend Stanford. PAC12 football players are getting that plus FCOA stipend. I'd say their getting paid plenty already.

Those kids need better advisors. They're all replaceable. There are plenty of kids that would love to take their place and be more appreciative of the opportunity.
