I'm to the point where they can all go kick rocks if they don't want to come for just a scholarship. We can be the first "integrity" school where you play for the honor, not NIL.

Just guessing they don't have enough quality football history or football brand to draw viewers and more media $? Kinda like Northwestern and Vanderbilt, weak links.

I say no names on the uniforms. School name only. Take away their individualism. They are just widgets now anyway. I don't want to know them or anything about them. All are replaceable. That is the system they have created!

No Way Jose! Just the opportunity for him to get out of Jersey is payment enough!

Yes to all. Fans come to support our school against another school. If players want to be paid (beyond a scholarship) to represent the school, then it's simply time for contracts.

Even the "Brand" programs are losing players to the portal. Maybe Ross can sign this guy for us? I heard he likes to play slow offense and lots of defense. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/40025291/seton-hall-star-kadary-richmond-enters-transfer-portal "Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond entered the transfer portal Thursday afternoon, potentially becoming the best player available in the portal."

I guess if your want to live in NYC and can afford it. No thanks!

The Big 12 is a superior basketball conference to the ACC. I know you're hurt they don't want you back, but them's the breaks!

I know you're in denial that any ACC school wouldn't want to stay with Smu in the conference, but there are more $$ for them elsewhere. That's what it is all about today. You bought your way into the ACC. Schools will buy their way out of the ACC> From another article: ACC would lose schools to SEC, Big Ten, and Big 12 If/when FSU leaves, the Seminoles and Clemson would likely be SEC-bound. UNC and UVA, which both have AAU accreditation, would join the Big Ten as basketball and academic fits. The Big 12 would likely try to poach Louisville, NC State, VA Tech, Pitt, and/or GA Tech.

A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.

The ACC will be picked apart just like the PAC was. Big12 will help in the raiding, just as they did with the PAC.

Excellent idea. I bet the sport head coach perhaps knows the answers, if the player feels like talking to them about it. I wish fans were given more info. Probably like HIPA rules...don't ask, don't tell.

Jossell is only 5-11, but yes to more guard size overall. Now we need to add some 6-7 or 6-8 PF/wing types.

This isn't the first time Ross had to remake a roster. Coming from JUCO he had to do it each year, plus after Grant left he reloaded with some new faces (who are now gone again). It's just the era we are in...until contracts are allowed that will limit movement.

The 1AA playoffs only work because there are home games involved for higher seeds in each round. Using minor Bowls or neutral sites would add huge costs plus more travel and kill attendance.
