According to the article, the 20 game schedule will be in effect for 3 years (2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22), I wonder if they could decide to expand the number of games again after the 2021-22 season.

Outside of UNC, who would you all like to see as our three year partner as a primary rival?

I’d have preferred Syracuse, UVA or NC State. UVA would be an enormous draw nationally, Syracuse would be competitive and playing in the Dome is fun. State would be nostalgic and would always provide a tough matchup, in Raleigh especially.

Those three unless Bennet goes to UCLA and they crumble for a few years.

State or UVA. Personally Clemson though cuz that’s the closest to me!

I wish every team played every team twice.

28 game conference schedule plus our choice of either playing in an early season tournament or participating in the Champions Classic, ACC/Big Ten Challenge, and then one more gimme game.

I really wonder what this will do to small schools. Those Guarantee games help fund their entire athletic departments. Duke and other ACC schools will have less of a chance to give big checks to the smaller schools. Gonna be interesting to see what happen to those programs who depend on those checks.

Not an NBA guy, but never understood the Fultz hype and pick. Almost as bad as the Bennett pick.

Don't forget that not only did they pick Fultz over Tatum, they traded away a future 1st round pick to do it.
