UL's rivals outside UK are Cincinnati and Memphis
I think Cincinnati would probably fit the ACC better than Memphis. One of the benefits of adding WVU and Cincinnati are pulling in rivalries. I think Cincinnati could develop one with Pittsburgh too. It's the thing that fans want to watch. I can tell by hanging around this board that the Hokies want another rivalry game on the schedule. WVU would do it. Boston College and Wake Forest don't really cut it. Miami apparently didn't want it. I know that WVU fans see VT as a rivalry game.
UVA has two UNC and VT. Maryland was somewhat, but we can live without that one. Now I don't know what the ACC Presidents are doing, but they need to do something. They need to spice up the interest in this league. Going and getting teams with no historical familiarity has risk. If we do that we need two that already have a rivalry of their own like 2 from Texas. Just my opinion. I'm not being consulted.

You nailed the scheduling part, the neutral game sites have been SEC sites
