[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 733607, member: 1776"] Just an FYI, NCAA is supposed to announce a decision today on Fall Championships. Also, does anyone else think at this point the ACC should just announce that it is going to play a 10 game conference schedule. It was pretty clear that the plus 1 was created just so the SEC would have to take the hit if the rivalry games were cancelled. With them cancelled it makes no sense to me from a health and economic standpoint to play an OOC game. The OOC game is an almost guaranteed money loser. You have to pay the costs to have the stadium up and running. You have to pay for the team to come play you. You are likely to have 0 to minimal fans so their is little opportunity to make up that expense. You don't get any extra TV money - that is already factored into the conference TV contract. Also, you potentially open yourself up to legal complications. If you play an OOC game, every OOC opponent can make a claim that you owe them the money you were going to pay them until you cancelled - because if you can have this OOC game, why couldn't you have their OOC game? The idea of playing a game against a program that is just one more chance for your team to get infected and lose money on it anyways would make me not schedule a OOC game if i'm an AD. [/QUOTE]
