I think he views himself as protecting college sports.

I'm wanting him to be more concerned about the ACC itself. College Sports will sort themselves out. I want him to do what's right for the ACC. I think we have a short window to address the mistake that was letting WVU go to the Big XII ten years ago. He needs to negotiate that before WVU signs again with the Big XII. WVU may say no, but I know that they fit the ACC better. Cincinnati is an obvious choice to come with WVU because of their football success and location right between Pitt and Louisville on the Ohio River. I would think ESPN would see value in these two for the ACC that they can realize with the network and via good matchup.

The simplest solution to the UCF isolation is to just invite USF.**

Adding USF would help address some of UCF's isolation (assuming Cincy and

I agree, he needs to make the ACC better in football with WVU & Cincinnati.
