It THE cash cow in college sports. Jettisoning Miami and BC has been tossed around, but it will never happen. Tradition aside if we are going to talk about teams kick out based on performance in both football and basketball UVA and NC State should be at the top of the list. As for fixing the basketball schedule. Why don't we sack up and move to a 22 game conference schedule? Less cupcakes and more conference games would make us that much more credible and produce more marquee match ups to be picked up for television broadcast.

Having to beat UNC in the ACC tourney to validate your NCAA ticket just aint working. seth needs to concern himself with beating the likes of St louis or a Depaul in his non-conference scheduling.
