for consideration, unfortunately they get obscured to a certain extent by his USF/AAC fanboy bent. I also do not believe the B1G is as tied down in that arena as he believes. His most important point is likely that VC looks to get ahead of the cycle, a potential plus for them and the ACC, the potential negative for the ACC is whether the ACC has the leadership to get ahead of the cycle.

True that. Ignoring the USF/AAC angle, he had a point.** -- RandomAsianGuy Feb 17, 2026 at 08:40 PM ET

I hope to God VT isn't in the version of the ACC he thinks will emerge. -- Baltimore_Hokie Feb 16, 2026 at 10:38 AM ET
