[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 958218, member: 1776"] I will root for both FSU and UNC to beat their SEC opponents this weekend - I always root for that. But except for those games they can lose every game on their schedule as far as I am concerned. While I hate that conferences are now as large as they are and I wish we could go back to 8-10 game conferences - they really aren't conferences anymore at all, except in name, this is where college football is due to chasing money. This does help the ACC on a number of fronts though. It increases the money that each school will receive and puts more distance between the ACC and B12. ACC is never going to catch the SEC and B1G in terms of money and from a market standpoint it doesn't really deserve to. But there is going to be some distance financially between the ACC and B12 and it is likely to remain there for the long term. This also makes it much easier for the ACC to remain viable long term. It also gives the members much more leeway if any schools do depart as you have more remaining. One last note. This will also dilute the power of Clemson, FSU and UNC going forward as they would need to find 2 more votes to defeat any motion. Rumor was both NCST and UNC were going to vote yes at the beginning of the week before the meeting got delayed, so it looks like UNC flipped back at the end of the week, but NCST stayed as a yes. I'm just glad it is done and we can now focus on the games, starting with tonight's. If college football truly wanted to be a "professional" sport than it would make sure that all the schools were receiving the same share of media money, but there are schools at the top of the heap that would never go for that. The Pro leagues understand the importance of competitive balance, but college football is all about 7-8 schools playing for a championship and everyone else simply playing to fill out schedules.
