What’s in it for us?

Seems like we are being used for free to give more $ to FSU, Clmsin, & Miami
Though it could solve some scheduling issues for us on the other hand.
2 of these games plus SC and an SEC team should shut up all that
Complain our schedule is weak.
I assume these games count toward our annual acc commitment and at least 1 is home every year
We should get a cut when they use our value in their contract.
I suspect this biolates our agreement with the ACC and would provide us an out should we choose it.
But that would kill the ACC, and I’m not sure that we want that.
Re: We should get a cut when they use our value in their contract.
100% agree that we need a financial incentive to be playing the ‘elite’ of the ACC. But I think our affiliation with ACC benefits us in several ways.
It keep football independent allowing us to schedule teams we see fit across the country
It lessens the scheduling burden in this era of mega conferences.
It keeps our other sports in a competitive league.
ND being politically correct to keep all options open
