This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Logical way to keep ND... by Irisharab

Assume an 8 to 10 game, "conference only" season:

There are 14 ACC football teams. Seven in each division.

ND is already scheduled to play 6 ACC teams in 2020, instead of five. By coincidence, ND is playing 3 ACC teams in each of the two divisions.

Each of the "non-ND" ACC teams would play the six other teams within their division.

For the seventh game: The six ACC teams scheduled to play ND would still play ND. The other eight teams would play a cross-division game.

Games 8 through 10 would be other cross-division games.

ND would probably have to fill out their remaining 2-4 games with Independents. BYU and Army would be okay, but the other Div. I-A Independents would be atrocious.

If 2020 is a "conference only" season, ND would be better off with an 8 game season (6 ACC games, plus BYU and Army).
