ACC needs to have presence in Texas at this point.

Having a team in Dallas would be of benefit. I also believe with NIL available SMU will begin to field very competitive football teams since they have wealthy boosters. That's what they got into trouble for before, but now it is legal. I've always thought though if you add one, you'd need another travel partner. Perhaps Tulane, which in in New Orleans. I don't rightly know what is going on with the ACC's hesitation. Florida State may want to leave, but the others. I don't see Clemson wanting to. They know how hard the path would be in the SEC for them to do as they've been doing. Don't know NC State's issue.

I kinda low-key want SMU in the conference.

I don't want any more private schools in the ACC...

Under normal circumstances, I'd agree with you. But these aren't normal
Maroon Baboon 08/20/23 02:50 PM ET
#5 is key. You want schools that are excited to be in the conference.

6. Adding SMU and not Stanford would irritate the desired parties**

Are the ACC Presidents Going to Keep Late Hours on a Friday Zoom Call to
WarHog38 08/18/23 05:17 PM ET
I'm leaning that way. If we add those schools and stand pat until 2036,

Tulane was one of my side-teams last year. Really enjoyed watching them.
Maroon Baboon 08/18/23 05:48 PM ET
That's why I suggest Tulane verses second from Texas
HOO86 08/19/23 03:13 PM ET
If Memphis makes the ACC money, I would add them.
Maroon Baboon 08/19/23 04:05 PM ET
Agreed. Been saying it for years.
HOO86 08/19/23 04:21 PM ET
IMHO, ESPN doesn’t wont pay for schools, they have Texas & Louisiana in SEC
Stech 08/19/23 08:49 PM ET
I'd rather add Oregon St. For some reason SMU reminds me of Miami
HokieNoVA 08/18/23 02:19 PM ET
These three are better than anyone else that has been floated. Perhaps they

Adding Stanford, Cal and SMU...

How many conferences have actually broken up? Even CUSA survived.
4x4hokies 08/18/23 03:20 PM ET
Maybe so?
Old Line Hokie 08/18/23 04:07 PM ET
LOL where are we going if the ACC breaks up?**
BROman Hokie 08/18/23 02:48 PM ET
LOL. No where at the moment.
Old Line Hokie 08/18/23 03:03 PM ET
Good. We want the acc to continue **
SpeakToDamien 08/18/23 02:31 PM ET
#3 I completely agree. ACC needs some edge to it
HokieAl 08/18/23 01:20 PM ET
They got what they deserved, others like Miami didn't
