RandomAsianGuy • 09/10/25 12:46 PM ET

Baltimore_Hokie • 09/10/25 12:46 PM ET
The mass exodus from the ACC that you are anticipating will NOT happen.

I suppose we will have to. You're the only person on Earth that actually-

Unless you are the SEC, the trend is to become a national conference.
RandomAsianGuy • 09/10/25 12:52 PM ET
Agreed, but Jim Dame Phillips asked part time 🏈 Notre Dame & they said no!**

The ACC is always 1-2 steps behind, they should take USF immediately, but

I believe that quality is greater than quantity. ACC should shed

Knowing the ACC, they'd take Florida Gulf Coast U instead.**

Now don’t forget, that Florida Gulf Coast will get after you now!!! 🤣🤣🤣**

I remember the run, I even visited the school, but I forgot the Dunk City.

The USF Dons have more football pedigree than the USF Bulls (IYKYK)
Maroon Baboon • 09/10/25 12:28 AM ET
I agree, but I thought that about Cincinnati.
HOO86 • 09/09/25 10:37 PM ET
Same about UConn? **
Big12 guy • 09/09/25 09:14 PM ET
Yeah it would have been so good to have the ACC winning those 🏀NC’s.**
Stech • 09/10/25 07:52 AM ET
Yes the ACC should invite Connecticut now.
HOO86 • 09/11/25 11:15 PM ET
If the ACC invites UConn now, then they are basically waving the white flag
