Articles from around the ACC Blogosphere May 21, 2012

Can I find 6 articles in the ACC Blogosphere not speculating on expansion? Probably not… but I found this kind of humourous at BCInterruption. If all the movement rumors playout as some predict, Boston College stands to make over $50 Million in Exit Fees. They might help some teams pack! Tigernet has an interview with …

Next 6 weeks will shape College Football’s future.

Friday an announcement that sent shockwaves across the collegiate landscape. The SEC and Big 12 agreed if their champions weren’t in the 4 team playoff that they would play each other in a bowl game. That may not be the Sugar Bowl, but I’m guessing it will be. This mirrors the deal between the Pac 12 and Big …

5 Things the ACC can do to bring the Florida State fanbase back.
