This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Why does Wake have MFN status and Miami not? by El Kabong

I took a look at the ACC games since the deal started in 2014 and the ones scheduled going out for the next couple years through 2024, which I selected because at that point we'll have played four games against every team in the conference. Couple things I noticed.

The only three teams against whom ND will not play four games in that stretch are Wake Forest, who get five (3 at ND), and only three for NCState (1 at ND) and, of all teams, Miami (2 at ND). I'm willing to consider existing contracts may have ended up giving Wake the extra game -- we had H/H with them going on when this was announced -- but why the hell would they shortchange themselves ND/Miami games?

So far, ND has only played one game against Louisville, Virginia, Georgia Tech, Clemson, and Duke, so expect the upcoming schedules to feature those teams more. For example, ND and Clemson play three out of four seasons between 2020 and 2024. On the flip side, ND already has played Syracuse three times, so we won't see them again for a while.
