I think the key is what does Carolina do

If they stay the ACC will be fine. If they bolt (big if) then all bets are off. Miami may not be far behind. Interesting few months coming for sure. FSU and Clemson are far gone. It will hurt the ACC that they will be gone but it can still survive as a decent conference in football and a great conference in basketball. ** Edited by Millpoint at 4/8/2024, 7:13:41 PM

HOO86, can you please splain to me why the ACC never invited UConn?
Stech • 04/06/24 11:07 PM ET
Because it would have pissed off Clemson and FSU at the time **
HokiesACC2004 • 04/07/24 09:28 PM ET
and what's the difference now**
DMV Gobbler • 04/07/24 11:07 PM ET
Not a thing
HokiesACC2004 • 04/08/24 03:25 AM ET
Agree... **
DMV Gobbler • 04/08/24 08:42 AM ET
Originally it was the lawsuit.
HOO86 • 04/07/24 06:42 PM ET
Well since we pretty much know FSU & Clemson are leaving, grab UConn & USF.
Stech • 04/08/24 08:53 AM ET
I've been an advocate of both for a long time.
HOO86 • 04/08/24 04:23 PM ET
Thanks I agree with all the additions, and your last paragraph makes me
Stech • 04/08/24 04:41 PM ET
Per Cardinal News, the Va Attorney Gen wants UVA and VT in same conference
j9hokie • 04/08/24 04:51 PM ET
Thanks I have seen that and I agree that's the top choice, but I will also

A good post. However, anyone

I agree most state schools would jump in a second, but UVA is not like most
Stech • 04/08/24 03:46 PM ET
The only jumping UVA would do is if the Ivy League came a courting.**
VTHokie2000 • 04/08/24 03:53 PM ET
Right then the majority at both cases should have held fheir ground
DMV Gobbler • 04/07/24 06:46 PM ET
I think they were an option when MD left. Went with Louisville
PadrosWindup • 04/07/24 07:51 AM ET
If true, dumb of BC. They should want MORE juice in New England, not LESS.
Maroon Baboon • 04/07/24 12:43 PM ET
Article from then.
HOO86 • 04/08/24 07:55 PM ET
WOW. Three crazy things in that article. UConn over Pitt was the original
Maroon Baboon • 04/08/24 08:36 PM ET
I'm not at all unhappy with Pitt
HOO86 • 04/09/24 12:38 AM ET
Just amazing how childish some adults act, let me take that back, children
Stech • 04/08/24 08:29 PM ET
someone at BC doesn't understand "the network effect"
MrBayAreaHokie • 04/07/24 08:48 PM ET
All BC understands is hockey and one pass by Doug Flutie**
LonghornHokie • 04/08/24 06:18 AM ET
BC kind of had the right idea, never was able to execute.
PadrosWindup • 04/07/24 02:04 PM ET
I heard that was all FSU and Clemson
DMV Gobbler • 04/07/24 12:29 PM ET
Yep and look at us now **
HokiesACC2004 • 04/07/24 09:29 PM ET
UMd was the canary in a coalmine. And a comment on UConn vs. Louisville.
Maroon Baboon • 04/07/24 12:59 PM ET
You just nailed why the high exit fee and the GOR buy back fees
VTCALS72 • 04/07/24 05:59 PM ET
Swap out BC for Uconn, problem solved.**
HokieNoVA • 04/07/24 10:39 AM ET
WRT the idea of UConn taking BC's place something to keep in mind is the
VTHokie2000 • 04/07/24 12:24 PM ET
I wanted them back when their football was really rolling.
LonghornHokie • 04/07/24 06:50 AM ET
Temple was also good in MBB then too
Marooned • 04/07/24 12:04 AM ET
No one wants to see UConn on their football schedule.
Maroon Baboon • 04/07/24 02:01 AM ET
Interesting perspective, I would rather play UConn in 🏈, than west coast
Stech • 04/07/24 09:12 AM ET
But the Big Least was run by the small private BB only schools
EDGEMAN • 04/07/24 07:28 AM ET
To be fair
