VT and Miami were the big plays on football and they didn't work out. It is what it is. I've already laughed at Stanford, Cal, and SMU. That was just pure desperation from a dying P5 conference. We're the new PAC-12, we're just in a lot worse shape than the PAC-12 was.

I know you’re upset about today’s UNC loss, but if you insult my team I’m coming back at you…

VT Football has won the ACC football title FOUR times, including in their 1st year.

VT Basketball won the ACC title in 2022 and we beat UNC and Duke in the process.

Miami has some huge creds too, so I don’t understand why you’d suggest those programs are dragging down the ACC either.  They aren’t.  The ACC needs to get out of it’s own way.

You're not getting what I'm saying. The ACC added Miami and VT precisely to avoid what has happened - basically becoming largely irrelevant in football. VT and Miami just aren't consistently nationally relevant anymore. I don't blame them for dragging the ACC down, they just didn't provide the lift expected. The ACC is gonna get out of its own way by dying. It's circling the drain.

UNC football has won the ACC five times in 70+ years, the most recent being 1980.

1980.

Virginia Tech has won the ACC football conference championship FOUR times: 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010 and y’all had a 60 year head-start.

And VT is a strong favorite to win the ACC again this year.

Sure, we’re the weak link in the ACC.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
