Two guaranteed road games are key because those go into our TV package. Taking ND in for hoops would provide the opportunity to reopen with ESPN to capture this value.

Notre Dame basketball adds absolutely nothing to the ACC.

Maybe 5 years ago that would be true but with only Duke, UNC, and now FSU being the only good teams year in and out, they wouldn't exactly hurt.

Notre Dame basketball is essentially Clemson with a better PR machine. They add nothing to ACC basketball.

I dont know if I would go that far. ND has been playing in a much tougher conference than Clemson. Their coach is very, very underated. They dont do well in the tourney but in conference, they have done well in beating some top 10 teams.

Wow, this league really needs some help if FSU is listed with Duke and UNC as a consistantly good team.

Look at the facts, dingbat. Over the last 8 years we have the 3rd most ACC wins - behind only UNC and Duke - and are the only school other than UNC and Duke to win the ACC. We beat those two schools FOUR times last year.

Please refrain from the childish namecalling. I also stand by my comment. I believe that the Acc, outside of Duke and UNC has been very down the last few years. I am confident that FSU would never have the 3rd most wins in the BE the last 8 years. Hence why I say the Acc needs some help, which is on the way.

Guess what, BUD-DDDDDDDDY, you shouldn't consider yourself in the Big East anymore and nobody in the ACC or the rest of the country gives two shats about that conference, either.

You're just mad I called you out. A two-week warning for the word "dingbat"? Rich.

No, I'm just disappointed that you dont mind taking swipes at Syracuse and Pitt fb, but have to start namecalling when someone questions your own team. By the way take a look at the board AUP rule that you have just violated. You should just move on.

Yes, I'm sure your disappointed, Mom.

In the grand scheme of things I care very little about Pitt or Cuse or their affiliation with the ACC. If someone (or myself) were to say Pitt or Cuse suck they'd be correct, whether you like it or whether it's a "swipe" at them or not. You didn't question anything. You made a statement that I called you out on. Your implication was factually lacking.

I also hope you just gave yourself a +15%, 2 week warning for not discussing that with me in private. (Yes, feel free to add +15% more for bringing this up in the thread.)

I'm dissapointed our moderators don't do anything about personal attacks, but considering the fact the moderators are all cheerleaders and their cheerleader buddies are the ones doing it I'm not surprised. The only mod over here worth the title is Clairton.

I welcome my two week warning.

OK, you and Catdaddy both need to just cool it. I dont mind giving both of you a permanent ban for complaining about the way this board is being moderated.

And I dont know what you are talking about tweaking my posts dude. But This is your final warning.

The only thing that I ask is that folks PM me or other mods before calling them out.

I just sent Billybadass a PM Clairton
