Exclamation ACC FB Media Days - July 17 & 18 (ACC Network Extra schedule)
Streamed online via ACC Network Extra...

Wednesday, July 17
10am - Commissioner's "State of the ACC" address and Forum/Presser
11:45am - Day 1 activities - head coaches and player representatives

Thursday, July 18
9:30am - Day 2 activities - head coaches and player representatives


Hopefully, Swoffy will provide some updates on ACC Network carriage (e.g., Xfinity) this week. Gotta figure Clemson is the runaway pick for the Atlantic - though I'm bullish on the Orange and Babers heading into '19. The Coastal may be yet another pick-out-of-the-hat affair. The French may be the preseason sexy pick, but once again every team in the Coastal has a lot of warts. I assume Lawrence will be preseason POTY pick.

Pretty sure there will be some live stuff on ESPN-U from the ACC Media Days as well...just haven't seen the schedule yet. I imagine the ACC will release a presser today or tomorrow previewing in more detail.

I guess the ACCN will cover this next year. This is when I wish they were already running.

When did France become a member in the Coastal Division?

If you want to be technical, the French the coalition in 1921 and pulled out in 1936, and rejoined in 1953.

Learn your history: http://www.soconsports.com/ViewArticle.d...LID=177772


Membership history

On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee.

Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money.

Play began in the fall of 1921, and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league, including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1923 and Duke was added in 1929.

By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932, at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tennessee. There, it announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt.

According to the minutes of the meeting, Georgia’s Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league, which began play in 1933.

The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions, including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee.

The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools – Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest – departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference, which began play in 1953.


Before the Southern Conference the SAIAA contained NC A&M (NC State), MD, VPI&SU (VT), UVa, Washington and Lee, William and Mary, Georgetown, UNC, Trinity (Duke), etc., etc. Clemson, GT, SC, and many of the future SEC were in the SIAA.

https://cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/confer...?conid=171


What you will notice is that a subtle cultural, and geographic divide has existed for nearly 120 with the line shifting along I-85 between Atlanta and Charlotte.

I think you can use college football as a cultural metaphor in that football is a form of modified warfare with the battle being for honor and glory. If you played or rooted for team "A" you were with King Henry on St. Crispian's Day.

It's not a coincidence that this culture is what ESPN has sought to own and add to it those cultures with enough similarity to coexist inside a hotel meeting room.

Anybody who voted for either UNC or Ga. Tech has no business having a vote.

I get where you are coming from, but considering the Coastal is a big bunch of yuck these days - and a 5-3 record very well could win it via tie-breakers among a 3 or 4 way tie - even the Heels and Jackets have a shot.

I recall all the gloom and doom heading into 2008 for GT when Paul Johnson took over. Very similar to what I'm reading today. Calls of only winning 4 games heading into '08, which is exactly what the Vegas Futures bets are set at currently. So much about he didn't have the personnel to run his system and now Geoff Collins is getting the same treatment but in an opposite direction of course (e.g., don't have offensive tackles who can pass protect, blah blah blah). I remind folks that GT was one controversial late hit call late in a close loss in Blacksburg from winning the Coastal that 2008 season...the team won 9 games, finished 5-3 in the ACC, defeated the Dwags (sic), and made it to the Peach Bowl.

Speaking of Paul Johnson, he tweeted this over the past weekend...


Paul Johnson
‏ @CoachPCJ

Everybody downplaying @GT football 7 of the last 11 years they finished first or second in the ACC Coastal. There are some talented players there don’t sleep on the Jackets!!


Everybody is a contender in the Coastal. Yes, even the Heels and Jackets. Unfortunately for GT and UNC, they are the 2 Coastal teams that have to face Clemson...which are pretty close to guaranteed losses.

Yes, can't think of a better time to be a UVA fan than right now. Athletic Directors Cup, MBB title, MLAX title, and now the FB team is picked to finally make an appearance in Charlotte. And, you have the Hokies at home on Black Friday (though that hasn't made any difference for a long time, but I'd rather have them at home than in Blacksburg).

The downside for you is that the preseason predictions for the Coastal have been horribly bad for the last half dozen or so years....which, gives GT and UNC even more hope. 04-cheers

A Cuse fan over at NunesMagician.com

Said the Atlantic should be renamed the Premier Divison
and the Coastal should be renamed the Relegation Divison.

The lowest Atlantic team gets relegated and the highest coastal team get elevated after each season.


So Pitt and Louisville would move this year.

That's a good way of looking at it. Here's a factoid for you...

...every year since the 2012 season (7 straight years), the Atlantic Division has had 2 teams with 6-2 or better conference records. Meanwhile, since 2010 (9 years), the Coastal Division has only had 2 teams with a 6-2 or better conference record once - that was 2015 when UNC went 8-0 and Pitt went 6-2.
