U*NC is the cleanest most honest athletic program on the planet. I am jealous of their deserved success, and I'm a mewling cunt.

Re: ACC - Conference Discussion
If true, it'd be a good pair of pick ups. Granted, Syracuse hasn't been very good in football since McNabb left but they've got the facilities and are good in basketball, which is obviously of interest to the conference. Pitt's a solid program in both sports. Plus, it'd be good insurance in case FSU and Clemson do leave for the SEC.

Re: ACC - Conference Discussion
FSU and Clemson both just voted to raise the buy-out 7 million bucks so I dont think either are going anywhere.

Re: ACC - Conference Discussion
Yeah I don't know WTF our administration is thinking. Sure Cuse and Pitt are great basketball programs but basketball doesn't pay the bills. FSU is about to become the big fish in a smelly swamp and instead of even trying to get into the SEC, we handcuff ourselves to the ACC. Morans.

Re: ACC - Conference Discussion
swoff has protected the conference by adding Pitt and Cuse, now it's time to get two strong football programs. we need 2 of ND, Ok, OkSt, or Tex. we'll end up with Kansas and Iowa st.

Re: ACC - Conference Discussion
All of those teams make little geographic sense. Why expand past 14?

Re: ACC - Conference Discussion
assuming that 16 is the magic number then adding two football school makes sense to me, and those are the best available. personally I think any 16 team conference will break into two 8 team conferences before long anyway.

I just don't know what makes 16 so magical.

I dont either but supposedly that's the number every conference is trying to get to.AlabamAlum wrote:I just don't know what makes 16 so magical.

I understand the desire of some of the Big 12 schools to get the hell away from Texas, and I completely understand Big East schools wanting to belong to a conference that has some clue what it's doing, but I don't get the rush to 16 either. It seems as if it's become some sort of self-fulfilling prophecy-- people started tossing around the idea that in the future there would be four sixteen-team superconference, then everybody decided the future is now and started rushing to make it happen before they gave serious thought to the actual merits of the idea.
One positive benefit from the ACC expansion: according to VT AD Jim Weaver, there's a push in the AD meetings for a ten-game conference schedule(six division games as of now, one protected inter-division rivalry game, and three other cross-division games). That would leave two non-conference games, and since FSU, GT, and Clemson must play a BCS conference team OOC every year, there's also discussion about mandating one BCS or top-tier opponent OOC every year for every school. I doubt that mandate comes to pass, but strengthening schedules can only help ACC football. It's also looking likely that the basketball conference schedule will expand to 18 games.
