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.

Sure we do by KeoughCharles05
FSU and Clemson are about to leave the conference. I suspect that the ongoing court cases are going to create pathways out for lower than the nominal buyout value, and once one team leaves, it opens up more cracks as the remaining teams can argue that the original agreement is no longer valid, as the conditions that bound it have been broken.
We don't need the ACC. Whenever we want, we can call up the Big 10, and they'll take us. But the ACC sure as shit needs us, because even if it's only two ND football games a year, those are going to be worth more than whatever shit they have left on the schedule after Clemson and FSU leave. We can, and should dictate terms, and then, when it suits us, we can leave. Our ACC attachments are purely transactional. Nothing more, nothing less.
