Interesting story on SI, they claim the ACC was pushed to play this fall by Notre Dame. That the Big 10 Presidents had no idea the push back would be so great, that if they voted today they would vote to play. They felt that the Pac 12 would follow and that the ACC would as well. Pretty much sealing the fate of the season. So why the ACC third? Because many of the universities within the conference are esteemed educational schools, led by the same academic minds that populate the Big Ten. Particularly Duke, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia Tech and even Florida State (surprisingly, the No. 18 public university nationally) were supposed to be in lockstep with the Big Ten and wield enough power to force the entire ACC into following the Big Ten's lead. That didn't happen. And if you're looking for another reason to hate Notre Dame, now you have it. "Notre Dame really wanted to play and was willing to enter into an agreement that could lead to something down the road ... at the very least, more games every year against ACC teams," an insider shared. "They're adamance about playing was the ace-in-the-hole a group, led by Clemson, needed to really push for a season and turn the tide in favor of ignoring the Big Ten. "I mean, if Notre Dame, with their academic reputation and their national brand, was willing to go forward ... it sort of just sealed the ACC's fate."

By the time they get to court and any appeals the season will be over. They still have their scholarship and there really isn't any guarantee that a player will ever get in a game.
So if they just wanted to make a statement, I guess they did. But if they thought they could actually force them to play the season that was never going to happen.
Ehhhhhh.....Doc, love ya like an Uncle....but not so sure...and I'm not just talking about us. Remember, You can waive anything.
Gawd.....This like watching someone commit suicide in slow motion. Obviously, they are trying to walk back their decision to cancel but also trying to save face by not walking all the way back but only three steps back.

Watching 85 Iron Bowl. Bo Jackson v Cornelius Bennett! Mike Shula is the Bama Qb. Ray Perkins the coach.
What a great 4th qtr. Bama down 1, 4th and 4 and they run a reverse for the 1st down. Key play was a pass to get in fg range... Guy gets out of bounds, 6 secs left and the Bama kicker makes it, into the wind 52 yds for the win. Is Van Tiffin a Alabama legend kp?
