Add WVU and Cincinnati

Said it 2 years ago, but that ship has now sailed. He's left doing basically all that is left available. The SMU move is actually one I was also in favor of 2 years ago with Memphis or Tulane. I do believe we'll need more to fill in now so we don't have 2 outliers. I was not for going all the way to California, but it appears that is just what we will be doing. Tulane may show up again on the radar one day, but with Academic Powerhouses like appears to be coming, we'll probably look at Rice instead of Memphis. Probably won't see another Louisville. Doing nothing was not an option. The ACC needs to expand to survive. If FSU wants to pay big bucks to leave, then look at USF. I don't believe Clemson is going anywhere. They may, but I doubt it.

I just don't think adding 2 west coast schools is enough unfortunately. If
