I know doesn’t help tv mkt - but MD, WVU and Cincy would be great acc adds
I’m not sure “markets” matter as much anymore now that most people stream and/or have access to all games through stream/satellite. I wonder what % of college sports are viewed on cable anymore

The ACC was foolish not take WVa early on.
They meet the geography footprint and there are a long time rival with VT and, to some extent, with UVA. Plus, they have a history of having a good football program. With the Big 12 expansion, it now may be too late.

Does not add enough revenue to justify the add

No market does. It’s a national market now

There won't be such a thing as a national market in 10 years
College football has NASCAR'd itself

WVU and UCF are our best possibilities, IMO.
Both might appreciate the reduction in travel and make the move. The B12 looks to be about the same as the ACC to me from here on, though, so the travel wear and tear might be the only thing that gets it done.

Agreed on WVU. Meh on Cincinnati. No way Maryland is coming back.
They're looking like visionaries getting a good landing spot when they did, particularly with as little as they bring to the table ("we're near Washington DC!").

I was looking at Ohio market for UC & fact Maryland will never win in Big18
They’re the pimple on the right cheek of that footprint and will need that conference $ for travel costs to west coast for those 4 schools ** Edited by 3TechFanz at 8/5/2023, 8:54:08 AM

Yeah, but no one in Ohio cares about Cincinnati. It's Ohio State or bust.
It'd be like grabbing Troy and saying, "Hey, we're in on the football mad state of Alabama!" Eh, not really.

They would never win the ACC either.
Heck, they might have a difficult time winning the Pac-4.
