    How will they do a championship game without divisions? I thought the ACC had put forward a proposal to allow this but it got voted down. Is it because they’ll have fewer than 12 regular season games so for NCAA purposes it won’t officially be a conference championship game?

    The Big 12, which of course has ten teams, got the rule changed so they could hold a championship game. (Before you needed 12.) They have the top two teams in the standings play.

    Who plays when multiple teams are 2-0 and the season gets shut down? I go with the one with prettiest colors.
    We're in, Chapel Cheaters are out, and then it's a fashion show.

    I’ve brought this up before, but — let’s look at Syracuse’s schedule and the games that may be impacted by New York’s quarantine requirements:

    Home

    Boston College
    Duke — do we have to quarantine in NY for the 14 days before the game?
    Georgia Tech — same?
    North Carolina State — same?
    Wake Forest — same?

    Away

    Clemson — does Syracuse have to quarantine upon returning from this game for 14 days?
    Louisville — or this one?
    North Carolina — same?
    Notre Dame
    Pittsburgh — same (I think)?

    Of their 10-game schedule, only two (BC and ND) are against non-quarantine state teams as of today. North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania (I think) and Kentucky are all on the list.

    You are totally correct in your questioning, but one switch - for NY, Indiana is a quarantine state, PA is not. Kentucky was just added this week. Check out the map in the attached article.

    So will fall sports teams be filled solely with freshmen and sophomores? Because we already learned that juniors and seniors will not be allowed on campus. Or will there be an exception for all student athletes. Just wondering...

    Ah, the Notre Dame Wrinkle

    Notre Dame has infiltrated the ACC hierarchy:

    AD's Kevin White and Bubba Cunningham were at Notre Dame.

    WF President Nathan Hatch was provost at ND -- a Catholic at a Baptist institution? The horror! Actually, it's the other way around. He was the first senior executive at Notre Dame who was Protestant.

    Surely there are lots of links with Boston College -- aside, of course, from the fact that they hate each other (one is Jesuit, one is not).

    I'm still doing research.

    I think this is the out clause.

    "As a league, we understand the need to stay flexible and be prepared to adjust as medical information evolves in conjunction with local and state health guidelines.' "

    If COVID-19 disappears or significantly improves, then the ACC has a framework in place. If it doesn't and six weeks from now we're still looking at high infection rates, travel bans, shut downs and so forth, then the league can say they at least tried.

    In other words, it's easier to start and then stop then it is to try and put something together at the last minute.

    But that said I'll be absolutely gob-smacked if the ACC has an 11-game schedule, followed by a league championship.

    If it goes as planned- Duke has a good shot as they are used to playing with no fans in the stands

    I may have missed it; did the ACC have anything to say about fan attendance at games?

    Keep in mind you are not interacting with the people hopefully 6 feet away from you, but also with those in the line for the rest rooms, the concessions, and the crowd at the gate, and everyone in between those points.

    That will likely be determined by schools and will depend on where things stand come September. At this point Duke is not allowing outsiders on campus for events.

    But is a ticket holder an “outsider”? I’m sure they could find some wiggle room if they wanted to.

    Fascinating. If, of course, *any* FB games are played.
    Considering ND makes less money on their NBC contract than ACC schools do with ESPN, this isn’t a win unless there’s something not being shared yet.

    Whenever I attended games, I was basically by myself or with my immediate family -- unless I sat with Bob Green.

    Is that football to football or ND football to ESPN/ACC Network everything? Because I think ND also gets a (reduced) share of the ESPN/ACC Network stuff.

    Probably wouldn't go, but I have seldom attended games in person, mostly just for convenience and the ability to watch Duke and other games from home. I wouldn't rule out attending a game, say under the circumstances of joining some old friends attending a particular game.

    And perhaps things are markedly different with public health concerns come October or November. Probably not, but who knows for sure?
