So how does this work? Duke announced yesterday that there will be no events on campus.
“No in-person public events will be permitted on the Duke campus until further notice. This includes performances, concerts, lectures, reunions, alumni and development programs, conferences, symposia, tours, board meetings and any other event to which individuals who are not Duke students, faculty or staff would be invited or expected to attend. “
So will the opposing team and staff need to be temporarily employed by Duke to be permitted to play- or will Duke play home games off campus
This is humorous.
Or sad.
Or both.
The mighty dollar.
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
Ha, someone in the ACC office needs to read a newspaper. Best o' luck with this "plan."
Good thing these are spring sports, since their fall competition is cancelled. Or do they play exhibitions in the fall?ACC Winter and Spring Olympic Sports:
- Competition in the sports of swimming and diving, indoor track and field and fencing will be postponed until at least September 10
- Fall competition in the sports of men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis, rowing, men’s and women’s lacrosse, softball and baseball has been canceled
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

What massive self-deception. You don't even think about playing football games if safety is truly your top priority."As we look ahead to the fall, the safety of our students, staff and overall campus community continues to be our top priority,” said Kent Syverud, Chancellor of Syracuse University and the Chair of the ACC Board of Directors.
I predict this whole thing comes down in smoke and ash before the end of September. I hope no one has to die.
LOL! Good luck.
My prediction: This will not end well.
I cannot believe President Price is in favor of this plan. I do not think Duke will be playing football this Fall. The scientists in the room do not project that the virus will be under control in the next weeks. In the end, I bet Duke considers the long term "forty year decision" and follows the Ivy League and defers competition.
Sam Houston. Out.
I'm not going to comment on the pandemic/public safety aspects of this, because that has already been well covered. And the Notre Dame aspect leaves me wanting to know if they are sharing their NBC revenue with the conference.
But the 10+1 model is pretty crazy. Each school is supposed to just decide which non-conference games they will drop? And what if their opponents also are under unusual rules? What if Georgia wants to drop Virginia but Virginia doesn't want to drop Georgia? What about the G5 or FCS lawsuits for canceled money games?
*Notre Dame will also play a 10-game conference schedule and be eligible to compete in the 2020 ACC Football Championship Game
*All television revenue for the 2020 season, including Notre Dame’s home games broadcast by NBC, will be shared equally by all 15 institutions
Fascinating. If, of course, *any* FB games are played.

All they are doing is keeping their options open.

I think a lot of the schools are wanting someone else to be the bad guy, that way they can at least say "we tried".
I'm not sure which part of this data says, "Let's cancel the ACCT and NCAAT back in March, but do football this fall"
