ND/Stanford. Baylor/Stanford.

Very clear Skipper views ACC as the small private basketball conference. The Vandy/NCSU trade is not realistic but telling. He still thinks there's still "new state" juice to squeeze. Stanford meets the ACC profile + the largest state in America. He mentions Rice. Meets the large new state criteria, small and private. Basketball? Stech I think you're the leader in the Rice/Navy bandwagon but I don't see it. He then mentions Rutgers/Maryland were a cultural mistake for the B1G. How is Rice not the same problem for the ACC? Baylor is a better fit. If he had the power, I think he'd swap Vandy and NCSU, UMD and VT. ACC adds Stanford and ND joins as a full member. Obviously none of this happens

There are REAL problems with expanding.

I agree with a lot of what you said
vtka93 • 07/08/22 10:20 AM ET
Oh, I think you can kick a few out
daveinop • 07/08/22 06:34 AM ET
it would be easier to reduce share then kickout
Vippie1 • 07/08/22 09:02 AM ET
And then he said one of them should be Rice, so...**

Rice is Miami with much more $$$. They can be as good/big as they want
daveinop • 07/08/22 06:14 AM ET
Um, no.
LonghornHokie • 07/08/22 05:05 PM ET
I think Rice is a decoy, but time will tell.**

Based on John Skipper's footprint logic, Kansas and WVU may not be good

The ACC already has value/relevance in basketball though, so the SEC isn't

Not if we lose UNC
