Clemson is on an upswing, but reality is they don’t have enough history, and likely enough future to be an independent. Enjoy the high, you guys will be mediocre again soon enough and FSU and Miami will, once again, push your shite in.

It could only happen if someone like Amazon ponied up top $. Then brokering better matchups instead of Cuse, Wake, BC, GT. At some point you think each team will broker their own TV deal and cut out the middle man (the conference). Why should LSU and Bama split money with Vandy and Kentucky?

why do you think no more indies? Clemson generates the most revenue for the conference. Why should it split the money with Wake, Duke, Virginia, Syracuse and others that will never compete for a title and aren't committed to being an elite football program?

We've benefited from the ACC being a hot pile of garbage. With the SEC expansion, it seems like its only a matter of time before the other conferences are relegated to second-status citizens.

One topic we've been discussing on another board is the idea of going independent. If (and lots of ifs, so bare with me) a streaming service like Amazon were to come along and offer enough money to go independent and have your games streamed on Amazon Video, would you do it?

I know others have been talking about Notre Dame possibly needing to join a conference, but why? When they've been good enough, they've made the CFP. And in a world where the CFP expands to 6 or more teams, doesn't that lessen the need to be in a conference?

Given how awful the ACC TV deal is, I can't see how the team can stay in this league.
