So the flip side would be going to the SEC?

VT, UVA, NC State, Clemson, GT, WVU, Kansas and Oklahoma State or Pitt can go to the SEC, make just as much money? Got it. Also, their metric of AAU being a 10 or a 0 is bit odd. I would think the better metric fit based on their goal of being high on research would be research spend. There are some AAU schools that get way outspent on research by some non-AAU schools. ** Edited by hokieball at 8/25/2022, 4:05:35 PM

Horrible criteria, this is about football $$ & probably basketball money!

For SEC, I think VT is in the top 10 targets

What move? Add another school with a small fanbase and no brand? **

The ACC's options are very limited.
tarheelblue • 08/25/22 06:12 PM ET
I would focus on rivalries.
HOO86 • 08/26/22 09:58 AM ET
Yes. The ACC’s goals are different from many of its schools.
hokieZ71 • 08/25/22 06:52 PM ET
Yep. Playing for a distant third. That's what is has always been.**

Even a small move at this point would ensure #3 status

If the ACC is going to expand into Texas, then wouldn't TCU or Houston
VTHokie2000 • 08/26/22 02:51 PM ET
That’s not germane

I'm not sure I would say Baylor is "better off" given it has multiple
VTHokie2000 • 08/27/22 09:23 PM ET
Baylor is in the drive-able sweet spot.
Truthahn • 08/29/22 10:35 AM ET
Baylor's and TCU's football stadium are both around 45K. I think Baylor's

Survival. The exact goal the ACC should shoot for. Rest is a pipe dream**

We used to call these types of weighted analyses “baffle ‘em w/ BS”.

Agreed. My one challenge to their numbers is for the athletics
