Are the ACC Presidents Going to Keep Late Hours on a Friday Zoom Call to

Get Stanford & Cal in the ACC? Already after 5 PM on the east coast. I don't know but doubt it. The FSU YouTubers were in a near panic last night predicting that UNC or NC State would flip today. They had that flipping all rationalized out with George W. Bush involvement and Tobacco Road ACC homerism. I remember Sankey oddly wearing a Tar Heel Blue windbreaker one day at SEC media days. Of course no NC or Tar Heel insignia on that windbreaker. However that baby blue not a common windbreaker color and Kentucky is the only light blue in the SEC. Sankey is from New York. I think any school leaving the ACC is at least 5 or 6 years away. The next round of media negotiations by the P2 will trigger it just like the present expansion boom of last two years. I also think all the ACC North Carolina & Virginia schools plus FSU & Clemson all know exactly how they stand with the SEC & B1G. It was talked out on cellphones many months if not several years ago. As I said, I doubt if UNC or NC State flip.

I kinda low-key want SMU in the conference.

I don't want any more private schools in the ACC...

Under normal circumstances, I'd agree with you. But these aren't normal
Maroon Baboon 08/20/23 02:50 PM ET
#5 is key. You want schools that are excited to be in the conference.

6. Adding SMU and not Stanford would irritate the desired parties**

I'm leaning that way. If we add those schools and stand pat until 2036,

ACC needs to have presence in Texas at this point.

Tulane was one of my side-teams last year. Really enjoyed watching them.
Maroon Baboon 08/18/23 05:48 PM ET
That's why I suggest Tulane verses second from Texas
HOO86 08/19/23 03:13 PM ET
If Memphis makes the ACC money, I would add them.
Maroon Baboon 08/19/23 04:05 PM ET
Agreed. Been saying it for years.
HOO86 08/19/23 04:21 PM ET
IMHO, ESPN doesn’t wont pay for schools, they have Texas & Louisiana in SEC
Stech 08/19/23 08:49 PM ET
I'd rather add Oregon St. For some reason SMU reminds me of Miami
HokieNoVA 08/18/23 02:19 PM ET
These three are better than anyone else that has been floated. Perhaps they

Adding Stanford, Cal and SMU...

How many conferences have actually broken up? Even CUSA survived.
4x4hokies 08/18/23 03:20 PM ET
Maybe so?
Old Line Hokie 08/18/23 04:07 PM ET
LOL where are we going if the ACC breaks up?**
BROman Hokie 08/18/23 02:48 PM ET
LOL. No where at the moment.
Old Line Hokie 08/18/23 03:03 PM ET
Good. We want the acc to continue **
SpeakToDamien 08/18/23 02:31 PM ET
#3 I completely agree. ACC needs some edge to it
HokieAl 08/18/23 01:20 PM ET
They got what they deserved, others like Miami didn't
