Swofford/ACC meeting notes:

[TIGER-PAUL]

• Swofford says prevailing topics were NIL and transfer legislation and, naturally, the upcoming fall seasons.
• Swofford says @accnetwork ahead of first-year revenue projection
• Swofford says there's a "great concern" that NIL opportunities for athletes will go "too far."
  
• Swofford re: uniformity in start dates for practice and games: "The hope is that all 14 of our schools, 15 counting Notre Dame, that everybody can be on the same page. But there are a lot of decision-makers in this ... and it's complicated."
  
• "We are going into this year with the anticipation of playing at this point. All of our institutions are indicating they intend to open in various fashions as we go into the fall."
  
• John Swofford says despite the loss of NCAA tournament money, ACC will be able to distribute 98 percent of projected revenues to the schools for 2019-20. "Given the circumstances, we feel pretty good about that."
  
• Miami AD Blake James who said they’re modeling all types of options on the season but that he’s optimistic there will be CFB in September, though likely without fans. “If we’re able to play, we should start the season on time & hopefully we can have fans."

Miami AD fall with no fans.
How in the he** will ups do a white out?
He** most of stat college will vanish if
the 100K don't show up!
There will be more deaths in state college from withdrawl than from the
virus!

How can this be? Many Pitt fans are certain PSU will have 106K for Kent State on September 5.

Want to revise one of your prediction threads yet?

Not at all

My prediction was based off of numerous administrators including Heather Lyke saying they wont play without fans or kids on campus. It appears some are rethinking that and will play without fans or kids on campus so I may have been mislead. But I am sticking to my prediction of a 2nd semester season.

That’s my boy.

How can this be? There is this one certain poster who keeps telling us that there is no way that schools will be open in the fall and there is no way that they will play football in the fall.

It would be our PITT luck we miss this season with this special could be real special team.
IMO this year will be a giant step forward for the program.

Lets play some football.

Well you also made your prediction 6 months before the season which is less than smart.

Apparently you are on the same page as him in that you don't understand that people are laughing at him. He's entertainment. If everyone laughing at him strokes his ego then that's kind of win/win.
