If they are willing to make the jump to Texas.

They can choose between Baylor, SMU, TCU, Houston, Rice, and Texas Tech. Basically pull from the Southwest Conference. Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State, and Iowa State are there too from the Big 8. I was expecting the Big Ten to take Kanas, but so far they haven't. Kansas and Missouri should be in the Big Ten. But they went to the west coast instead. It will be interesting to see if they like that in five years. I know most Big Ten fans hate Maryland and Rutgers in there, but this is a different level altogether. But so far the ACC has wanted to stay contiguous adding states. We've had to work around the departure of Maryland. Navy adds it back. We've been working through additions from the Big East and Metro Conferences. What we need is new states. That's what WVU and Cincinnati do. It's also what the others on my list do to the south. Adding schools on the West Coast looks good on paper, but I think we'd all hate it if we did it. Texas is a compromise. I don't know what Jim Phillips is going to do. So far it looks like he's sitting on his duff. I'm hoping he's planning the next move privately, but don't know that. I'd do WVU and Cincinnati now, and then look to the gulf states and Tennessee for more football. I've always liked USF, but we don't really need another from Florida.

Another reason why WVU should be invited to the ACC
Victor Tango 08/05/22 01:46 PM ET
I think it would move the TV needle more than you guys think**

I don’t understand why you said that, many if not most want WVU in the ACC.**
Stech 08/06/22 04:02 PM ET
But for years, when it mattered, you advocated against WVU.
BBBDatVT_ 08/07/22 03:56 PM ET
Not talking about you my friend
Millpoint 08/07/22 06:41 AM ET
And a lot of people who don't even want VT to play WVU EVER AGAIN
VPI_1998 08/07/22 07:02 AM ET
LOL. And a game played just after we ditched them for another conference.

I’m all for WVU in the ACC, but that was beyond “annoying.”

The WVU/Pitt game
LoveSports 08/05/22 11:37 PM ET
I'll be there
Millpoint 08/06/22 10:54 AM ET
I hope some Pitt folks got tickets.
Truthahn 08/07/22 05:58 PM ET
Couch burnings?**
EDGEMAN 08/05/22 08:35 PM ET
Now, that’s a game I might watch. WVU shoulda been ACC #12
BBBDatVT_ 08/05/22 05:34 PM ET
We could pretty much do that now.
Truthahn 08/07/22 06:02 PM ET
BC was such a whiff
Millpoint 08/06/22 10:56 AM ET
Remember when they tried that ACC Baseball tourney in Fenway?
BBBDatVT_ 08/06/22 11:33 AM ET
WVU should have been added a long time ago. (1) Content matters more than

They fell off the academic high horse w/ UL -

WVU makes the most sense
HOO86 08/05/22 05:11 PM ET
Devil's advocate...
ren_hoek 08/06/22 08:27 PM ET
Cincinnati is who should come too.
HOO86 08/06/22 08:48 PM ET
Hard no on Memphis, SMU, Tulane, UAB, and Navy
ren_hoek 08/07/22 09:13 AM ET
If they are willing to make the jump to Texas.
HOO86 08/07/22 12:16 PM ET
Well that’s craptastic. Can’t wait to donate money for those tickets. Lol.
BBBDatVT_ 08/07/22 12:14 AM ET
We called for it 15 yrs ago but you ACC apologists turned your noses up.
BBBDatVT_ 08/06/22 11:37 AM ET
Until recently most WVU fans were hoping this would happen
Millpoint 08/06/22 10:59 AM ET
If I were WVU, no way I would sign onto that GOR. **
BBBDatVT_ 08/06/22 11:34 AM ET
I agree - IMO. - WVU should be added - established heated rivalries
Hokie12thman 08/05/22 04:10 PM ET
The thing is, it does move the TV needle, just like Ole Miss and Miss State**
