You guys lose me the second you want to kick a team out. I don't mind

the speculative poaching of the B12, but the idea of throwing BC, Cuse, and Wake overboard will never strengthen your position. You already have a good conference - you have a decent media contract - The ACC just needs to beat the SEC and Big 10 in football, and start knocking off the B12 in basketball. The ACC didn't break up, the PAC did. There is a reason for that - take advantage.

You believe that USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington will be a big turn-off

This is all anecdotal, so take it with some healthy skepticism...

We can all understand your concept of a Big Ten Cult. I def get it.
33laszlo99 • 08/17/23 03:57 PM ET
Vienna’s the one with the “Big 10 cult” idea.
mancunian • 08/17/23 04:06 PM ET
We are soon to find out about National vs. Regional. Expensive experiment.**

The BIG is a midwest cult, many of my friends there became less BIG Fans..

Not advocating but to me it is along the lines

I don't think adding Cal and Stanford is the answer, but looking

If the top 3 or 4 leave, it's not the ACC anymore except in name

What if the story said this?
Maroon Baboon • 08/17/23 08:13 AM ET
I wouldn't be surprised that the ACC allowed the contracts to be written
reestuart • 08/17/23 12:58 PM ET
Yep. Looks like a contradiction.**
33laszlo99 • 08/17/23 09:28 AM ET
In all honesty though, FSU has already kinda said this. LOL.**
Maroon Baboon • 08/17/23 09:32 AM ET

Why? The Louisville-Iowa Women's Elite 8 game...
Old Line Hokie • 08/17/23 09:32 AM ET
I know I do not watch it, but NBC and ESPN will be heavy on it.
