Swofford speaks through Teel on conference schedule.

Seems the schools that battle SEC schools and compete for national titles in football often lose votes in the ACC.  In this case:


FSU
Clemson
Ga Tech

Ga Tech has a 'half way in' attitude towards football now.  The only other school is Louisville who is likely to be a "we are just so happy to be in P5, we will vote how you tell us mindset."

So my guess is we see football schools lose out....AGAIN.

"The last straw vote was July 20 in Charlotte, N.C., the afternoon before the ACC Network announcement at the league’s preseason football gathering. The most recent formal vote was in May 2014 when, without network mandates from ESPN, the athletic directors voted 8-6 to remain at eight games, the league’s format since 1992.
The ACC did not reveal the vote’s specifics, but snooping shows it broke down as follows:
Virginia Tech, Clemson, Florida State, Duke, Louisville, Georgia Tech, Miami and Pitt favored eight.
Virginia, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Wake Forest, Syracuse and Boston College wanted nine."

"Finally, while Clemson, Florida State, Virginia, N.C. State and Georgia Tech appear entrenched — outgoing Yellow Jackets AD Mike Bobinski told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Ken Sugiura that he favors the 8/2 model — others such as Virginia Tech and Pitt may be fluid."

"Notre Dame complicates non-conference scheduling, especially for the four ACC programs with annual state rivalries against SEC opponents: Georgia Tech-Georgia; Clemson-South Carolina; Florida State-Florida; Louisville-Kentucky."
