the advantage over all of the other time zones. We are perfectly positioned. The BIG 10 is dull, to me. The SEC is only about football success. First and foremost, academics is why colleges and universities exist. To educate and prepare future generations. Here is an idea ... let Notre Dame retain its NBC football monies but full membership is required. Invite Stanford, as a full regiment member, as well. That brings us to a #16 full member conference. Punch the numbers and do the math all that you want but an ACC like that is something beautiful. Education, marketing (forget the current matrix) and tradition. This will require some give and take but what a beautiful future that may unfold! Would you not want to be a part of that ACC?
