I've seen zero evidence the ACC is trying to be another Ivy League.

Not that that's really even possible...the Ivy League is unique in that those schools were the Ivies for academic reasons before the athletics league was created. The ACC exists for athletics. Trying to make it about academics is at best ineffective and at worst counter-productive. (meaning the ACC "trying," not you or any other of us message board jockeys) ** Edited by Pylons at 8/9/2023, 2:40:01 PM

ColumbusHokie • 08/09/23 04:18 PM ET
Baylor, TCU, Kansas would be a good start.
HokiePail • 08/09/23 05:36 PM ET
OSU has fans as passionate as VT. maybe not the market.
Big12 guy • 08/09/23 05:56 PM ET
OSU is near Tulsa and OK City. Effectively as big a market as Oklahoma.
Truthahn • 08/09/23 10:46 PM ET
Oklahoma has about 1M more persons living in their State than Kansas,

Wait until the end of the next B12 contract and add 8 to get to 24.**
4x4hokies • 08/09/23 02:24 PM ET
I doubt you could find one in the Big 12 willing to join the ACC at that
wwhokie1 • 08/09/23 02:57 PM ET
There would still be 6 years on our contract. **
4x4hokies • 08/09/23 03:15 PM ET
Schools would not wait until the contract was up to announce they are going
wwhokie1 • 08/09/23 04:21 PM ET
If they get part of the Big 12 the ACC isn't breaking up.**
HokiePail • 08/09/23 05:39 PM ET
Any schools that had offers from the SEC or Big ten would leave.**
wwhokie1 • 08/09/23 06:30 PM ET
This is the correct answer. The B12 is no longer for sale, but every one
