If you thought Duke winning the ACC was a surprise, imagine being one of their dozens and dozens of football fans.
The team with the lowest average attendance (granted, Wallace Wade is not a big venue, seating 40,000 people) that could barely fill Paulson Stadium in Statesboro wins the conference, unbeknownst to Duke fans. Then the best quarterback you’ve never heard of bolts for Miami for Carson Beck-esque dollars.
Not much to come back for in 2026, I guess.
Kind of reminds me of Ole Miss, except the quarterback was compelled to stay by a local judge.
It just means more litigation, amirite?
Oh the ACC where, “It just means less.”
I seriously doubt that Miami is drawing 60,000 plus every game. That figure has to be tickets sold, not actual asses in seats.
Is there a ticket-sales equivalent of money laundering?
We surpass the entire ACC attendance by mid season. More evidence of a two conference breakaway coming soon.
