Taking a punt... (you may be surprized...).

Just need to get JMU into the ACC.  Who says no?

The ACC is crap, so it should be a no-brainer...

That's a kick in the pants.

The crazy thing about the ACC is that since they don't share postseason revenue, Miami gets to keep 100% of the money it makes from the playoffs. So the ACC expanding is suddenly a lot less absurd than it was a few weeks ago. I have to imagine schools like South Carolina are at least thinking about it.

VT has cancelled its game vs JMU next season citing ACC rules that expand the # of conference games they must play. VT will still play VMI though.

Reports are that VT is paying JMU $800K as a result of cancelling the game.

James Franklin ducking a tough opponent out of conference- shocking

All the ACC teams are being forced to drop a game.

He never ducked big games.  Just can’t win them.

All the ACC teams are being forced to drop a game.

...

Other than UVA and NC State. They were to play a non-conference game against each other this season, much as they did this past year. The league simply changed that to a conference game (and moved it to Brazil, which is another issue altogether).

Indiana defense wins the first half. Mendoza looks…human.

[imref]

Cignetti’s call and mendoza’s run are for the history books. Jeez.

[Count Walewski]

Miami has been outplaying Indiana for most of this game. It's just that everytime it looks like Miami is about to seize this game, somebody on Miami screws something up: gives up on a play, commits a penalty, etc. And now Indiana is up two scores in the 4th quarter.

Also while everyone is talking about the defenses and Mendoza, the RBs on both sides are putting on a show.

[imref]

What a finish. Congrats JMIU!

Beck outplayed Mendoza until the end. Thought the handoff on Indiana’s last third down play was bad. Shouldn’t have taken the ball out of mendoza’s hands. Almost cost them the game.

“Marty, you’re back from 2026!”

“Doc, O.J. Simpson’s a murderer, Bill Cosby’s a rapist, Bruce Jenner’s a woman, Donald Trump’s president, and there was a global pandemic.”

“Great Scott!”

“And Indiana is the best college football team.”

“Ok, now I know you’re full of crap.”
