00:00 >> Well, yeah, I think that's a great thing, but at the same time,
00:04 it's not really something that you can do from an ACC standpoint when you have 14
00:09 teams and divisions, they're not gonna let us, we're gonna play,
00:14 we have wake every year, we have North Carolina, which is in our division.
00:19 I don't think they're gonna let us both not have a travel opportunity,
00:22 the rest of the league would probably throw their hands up on that one.
00:26 But I said this earlier today talking with someone, with the midst of what we're in,
00:32 we have no idea what next year is gonna look like.
00:35 We may be playing nine or ten conference games every year.
00:39 That may be what TV wants to see.
00:42 So in that environment, it would likely have a better chance of happening.
00:46 Well, obviously, I think fans is probably where it falls.
00:51 I think fans would love to see that old fashioned rivalry
00:55 where we've been around in the ACC forever, but football has changed.
01:01 And so as I said, the cons would be the rest of the league would be pretty
01:06 upset that if we had the proximity games that we have,
01:11 we have Virginia, Virginia Tech in our division.
01:14 And then if you were playing NC State, Carolina and Wake,
01:18 they would just view that as a negative if you're in Louisville or you're Syracuse or
01:23 your Miami or any other of the number of teams in our league.
