Is the ACC on course to become another version of the AAC (American Athletic Conference)? That’s what Kelvin Hunt, a writer from FSU blog Chop Chat said this week after the additions of SMU, Cal and Stanford into the conference. Florida State fans are bitter during this period where they are engaged in multiple lawsuits with the ACC in order to break the Grant of Rights and exit the conference once and for all. It’s only a matter of time before Clemson and FSU find a way out. Will the ACC be no better than the AAC once that happens?

Hosts Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs react to that hot take and discuss the long term state of the conference. Meanwhile, Clemson seems to have committed an open act of defiance against the ACC. They refused to allow their game against South Carolina to be moved from the Saturday after Thanksgiving to Black Friday. Which ACC team has the most pressure to win big this upcoming football season? Gibbs and Donno both feel Miami is the choice there.

  • Watching these two guys catch up with the rest of the college football world is hilarious 😂
  • I would say no; the ACC is not going to become the AAC. Because the AAC was actually entertaining.
  • @user-lm2jo8gx2j
    Answer to Kenton's question ? Clemson won before Dabo. There is a reason Clemson & FSU has the most ACC championships. There is a reason Clemson is one of the 15 winningest programs of all time. Know your history. You ever heard of John Heisman. He did coach at Clemson. Hint: Heisman Trophy. So don't act like Clemson was not a football school before Dabo got there. Considering all the programs out there; if you are in the top 15-20 all time over 100 years that is pretty good company. Know your history. Stop listening to other Media that dislike Dabo
  • @Goeers206
    Pretty humorous these guys are throwing shade at Memphis when Memphis is better in football than half of the ACC...
  • @deadeye4520
    Whatever move ESPN makes, it will be to earn more revenue. The ACC is not part of their longterm plan.
  • @davidbrown386
    This morning I went to Cracker Barrel in East Flat Rock NC, and they had Clemson stuff for sale and NOTHING for in state UNC, NC St, Duke or WF. Just another reason the Big 10 to take BOTH Clemson & Florida St,.
  • @chriscooney7914
    SC State High School playoff games are scheduled for that Friday night. Clemson has always tried to avoid conflicts with important high school games.
  • @Almighty5-ww1kl
    Kenton tried to play that where will FSU go , Kenton you know FSU can’t have 1st party talks until they are free once they are feee , they can decide what’s best for FSU
  • @TallyHo850
    I will be so glad when the Acc does not exist anymore because of this 🤡 Keaton why would Clemson do anything to help the Acc there a joke of a conference Keaton with all your what if’s smh but what if it does work out for Clemson have ever thought of that
  • @StormyCyclone
    I don't want to see the conf.go away, but poor leadership in past & going forward sounds just like PAC 12 denial. 35 percent of viewership is about to leave, then who else enters the picture?
  • @wcc1212
    Yep. They will be similar to the B12. That is how I see it.
  • @JohnLin-db3ci
    FSU fan here: Don't worry about the hot takes, the ACC will backfill from the AAC, but not turn into them. I don't blame Clemson for playing hard ball, if the pot was sweet enough I'm sure they'd take the ESPN offer.
  • The one FSU guy can't get over they were left out of the playoff and always spews silly things about the Acc. Alabama made it imo because they knew it was Sabans last year and the powers that be wanted him in.
  • @bk6678
    Prediction: Virginia Tech will be offered AAU membership in the not to distant future.
  • I might be the only UNC fan that wants this conference to implode. I don’t blame FSU or Clemson for wanting to leave either. There’s serious corruption in the league office. Bringing in west coast teams is a sign of weakness and desperation.
  • @terryfox9344
    If Clemson's decision not to move their game was because of Dabo, then I support them. If their decision was made to spite the ACC or ESecPN, then they are FOOLS. The fact is that they don't have an invite from the B1G. Might they get one? Maybe, but who knows. It should be clear that they are not number 1 or even number 2 on the B1G's wish list.
  • @wickedhigh
    I’m a FSU fan when we leave you are right the ACC will go on I never thought espn would drop the contract they might restructure it
  • @TallyHo850
    Last time I checked Clemson is also suing the Acc so why all the FSU hate smh
