back to rumors of a vote tonight

8/28/2023 4:06:11 PM

Won’t be tonight, they postponed after the UNC shooting.

8/28/2023 7:37:26 PM

What should that have to do with voting?

8/30/2023 3:24:01 PM

It’s official. Boo.

9/1/2023 8:09:25 AM

Double boo. If it's what we "have" to do to survive, then I guess, this is the least stupid option, but I hate that it's come to this. Whatever

9/1/2023 8:16:47 AM

It sounds like it’s a future hedge against the conference falling below 15 members if/when FSU, Clemson, UNC leave. If the league falls below 15 then espn gets to renegotiate (at least that’s what I read on Twitter so it must be true) and that would not be in the ACCs favor. It seems like State was the swing vote. And I don’t get what would’ve happened to cause us to change our vote.

9/1/2023 8:22:48 AM

Change name to Coast to Coast Conference so at least this feels less stupid.

9/1/2023 8:24:58 AM

I don’t even hate adding SMU. But Cal? Jesus fuck that. I couldn’t think of a more boring program to add. Or like I said before in this thread, just go all out and add several west coast/southwest teams and have an east vs west set up. Oregon State, Wazzu, Boise, SDSU. That’s more interesting than this.

I'm sure Cal was only added for Stanford's benefit. Much like how we ended up with BC because of Miami's insistence and that's worked out wonderfully for the conference!

RIP Atlantic Coast Conference
Good morning All Coast Conference

9/1/2023 8:42:51 AM

Should’ve added Nevada Wolf Pack and Northern Colorado (UNC). Made for TV rivalries with State and UNC

^ along those lines it’s kinda bullshit that partial member and spear headed this whole thing yet they won’t join fully.

I like this game.

Most Coast Conference.

Wait so Ben Finley is back in the ACC?!?!!

9/1/2023 8:57:09 AM

Very disappointed.

9/1/2023 9:02:44 AM

^^sucks now he'll have to sit out a year when he transfers back in


Also

Awful.

And it feels worse that NC State was the swing vote.

9/1/2023 10:51:22 AM

Why? I dont see why anyone is upset about this

Is this a real question?

If it is, I’ll bite.

Adding 3 teams from way out of the conference footprint in an attempt to preserve the rest of the conference from the inevitable departure of bigger programs maybe makes business sense but does very little to please the average fan. NC State has no shot at ever winning a national title in football in my life. And I’m ok with that because going 8-4 and beating UNC and/or having a fun matchup vs Clemson to look forward to is way more fun than going 8-4 against Cal, Stanford, BC, etc. Regionality is what makes CFB fun for fans of teams like State. Losing that regionality to preserve the leftover carcass of the ACC doesn’t really do anything to increase my enjoyment of the games or excite me about the future of NC State athletics. Maybe in 5 years none of this matters because there will be another round of expansion and maybe football breaks away from the rest of the sports or something. But until then, this just kinda further waters down the fan experience for me.

Let’s just say the ACC loses Clemson, FSU, UNC in the near future. How many current season ticket holders here will be excited to renew their tickets to watch us play Duke, BC, Cal, and Cuse at home? I’m not a season ticket holder so I can’t answer that, but I’d be less interested in going to those games personally. I do not donate money to the Wolfpack club, so again, I can’t answer this question. But how do you excite and entice boosters to keep donating when the product gets worse and the fun parts (competing with local rivals) falls by the wayside?

This move is to preserve whatever is left of the ACC in 5+ years. I get that many schools have a real interest in not letting the ACC die like the Pac12 did. But if in 5+ years we’re looking at an ACC without Clemson, UNC, FSU, UVa…I’m not sure I, as a fan, really care to be in that conference. I get some of the reasoning why. I don’t have to be happy about it.

9/1/2023 1:11:07 PM

I hear UNC wanted to add SMU so their rampant cheating didn't seem as bad in comparison

9/1/2023 1:27:59 PM

Athletic Coast Conference has a nice ring to it.

Weren’t we the first to start expanding when we added boston college and the others? Seems right that we pay the price down the road

9/1/2023 10:54:53 PM

All Country Conference

[user]Walter actually had the best idea in this thread. International expansion.

9/2/2023 6:43:54 AM

^^yep, as long as you ignore the ~100 years of expansion and realignment before that, then it was the ACC who started it

9/2/2023 3:38:06 PM

Lol. God created the earth. And he divided all the teams into conferences. Until the ACC expanded in 2004

9/2/2023 3:58:00 PM

Just gonna leave this here without comment.

9/2/2023 4:34:59 PM

The whole conference expansion thing is so dumb. I agree I have zero interest in playing cal, stanford, and smu. I know no one from these schools or fans of these schools. Does this add another day to the NCAA tournament? Pretty soon it will be hard to win an acc title when you have 20 some teams to compete against.

9/2/2023 10:12:15 PM

We’re State. It’s already very hard to win the ACC

No.

we need to just model it after European Futbal, and adopt regulation.

Also all those cool ACC championships State has one in Olympic sports are going to take a hit with Cal and Stanford coming in.

9/5/2023 8:48:23 AM

Women's tennis beat Stanford to get to natl title

Wrestling finished 10th, ahead of stan and won their only head to head

Women's xc won the national title

Cal will indeed likely take the mens swimming/diving title away

9/5/2023 11:12:17 AM

just a matter of time before Stanford's new ACC money propels them to the top
