Miami-South Carolina Cancel Home & Home Football Series

These articles are nice and all but now we have two threads about same topic. Anything writers can do to avoid this??

Please explain: What's the impetus behind the 9 conference game schedule?
For the sec: they get more money from espn, they get to say “sos” and get a 3 loss team into the playoffs.

For the ACC: horrible decision making and poorly copying the sec without getting increased payouts
 
Yay probably get another crappy cross country trip to Stanford or Cal

This conference sucks… if I didn’t already hate the refs enough
 
Obviously don’t know all the logistics … but we should not have blindly followed and thought outside the box. ACC/Big 12 challenge like they do in bball. Different matchups every year and keep tally. Something else.

Expected, but ****es me off. Haven’t been to that stadium yet and already planned that trip with some USCe people I know. Would have been a good road trip game.
 
Most Week 1 schedules are set and this is probably pointless analysis by me as games like Clemson/LSU and GT/Colorado could still be on the list to get cancelled... Maybe not since they already started the series and need to return the favor to the 2025 host..

But there's not a ton of options for week 1:
1. FAMU is currently slated for week 2 - that could get pulled up to game 1. I don't think they have a week 1 opponent yet.
2. We're scheduled to play FSU, UNC, and Stanford in-conference already and none of those 3 have a week 1 opponent. UNC goes to Dublin the week prior - so they're going to be off in week 2.
3. Currently, the only other 3 teams in the conference that do not have an opponent week 1 and not already on our schedule are SMU, NCST, and Virginia.

So we're either opening the 2026 season with FAMU or a conference game. Gonna go ahead and guess we get the cross-country Stanford matchup or the Noles in week 1.

Most likely it will be the Noles because we already have 4 conference road games plus the ND game built into the ACC agreement on the road. A road game would give us what is basically 6 conference games on the road and 4 at home.

ND again??
