Stay put and let this settle, time may yet be on our side
Not convinced that chasing dollars is the end all the P2 make it out to be? At some point, how much money do you need? Is money really what is holding back our success in any sport? Is it really helping any school that isn't a well known entity already? Plenty of schools do well in certain sports without being in P2, UConn/Louisville in Basketball, UCF in football, etc.
I really wonder about all the un-intended consequences, and all the unforeseen ones of the P2.
USC/UCLA may well be hurting themselves in the long run. Nothing about this is for the 97% of kids playing Olympic sports, how will they react to having to travel insane distances to play, will they want to in the long run?
If it doesn't have integrity, then it is not sustainable, and I don't see a lot of integrity in what is happening. If the majority are disenfranchised, how is it sustainable? If Tech stops playing sports tomorrow, I pretty much stop watching all college sports.
If I was Whit, I would think long and hard before doing anything hasty. Maybe staying put, regardless of what happens with the ACC is still the best move.
