FWIW, I don't like the Cuse addition for fan and geography sake, but they don't actually make the conference worse on the field. It's the traditional door mats and mid-pack already in the conference that makes the conference worse. Both short term and historically Cuse and Pitt are above average (between UNC and Clemson).
I can understand VT turning down the Big12....joining that conference would be a last resort only if the ACC were to implode. The fact that the Big12 neglected to add Louisville over the past year will come back to haunt them.
Congrats to the ACC! We somehow managed to get even worse at football. I just wish weaver and Steger had retired 4 years ago. VT football, basketball, and baseball would all be in a much better place. The university as a whole would be as well.
Can't see Texas in the B1G
much better than thisSwofford says should Notre Dame decide to join a conference, it is contractually bound through 2027 to join the ACC.
John Swofford on the state of ACC football: Live updates - SBNation.comThere has been discussion about reworking divisions and there is every time that the conference adds a new member. However, once the discussions conclude, the league members end up agreeing that the current structure is best.
After the top six it doesn't matter anyway.ACC media ballots....
Could this be when the "big 5" conferences break away?....and force Notre Dame to join a league?
BTW, how in the world does WVU have a bigger athletic budget than VT?
