IMO the best thing that can happen for the ACC now is for WVU and Louisville to join the big12, further crippling the BE and leaving Notre Dame with nowhere to turn.
I don't disagree with you hunz but I'm not sure that they would take WVU and Louisville. Sure, they bring some good football and strong basketball but from a $$$$ perspective, don't think they would bring much to the table. I don't know that ND would have nowhere else to turn either. For years it sounds like the B1G has been willing to roll out the red carpet whenever they were ready. And they, unlike many conferences have shown recently (considering Texas and LHN), would maybe even let ND keep the TV contract and most of the $$$ that comes with it. They have so many rivalries already in place there as well. Would love to see them in the ACC but if they go to a conference I believe it will be up north.
Wild turkey,
I agree with your assessment when it comes to GETTIG TO a championship game, however I think that we do "have work to do" and have a better shot of winning a championship in a tougher conference because we will get better.
I am also souring more and more on the additions of Pitt and Cuse as the days go by. It hurts us, and does not help us, in my opinion, at all. No time to explain now, but I will later.
Totally agree 46...It does not strengthen us rhat much as a football conference, (may even hurt us in terms of recruiting in PA, NY, and the Northeast), decreases our potential to continue our climb in BB in the ACC. I'm not crazy about it either. Sounds like Rutgers and UCONN are pretty good possibilities (due to academics and popularity in the NY market) to be next????
