Pitt recently won the ACC Football Championship, and Syracuse has given the ACC visibility in New York especially for basketball. I don't think there are any regrets with those additions. I would have preferred WVU over Louisville, but by the time Maryland informed the ACC it was going to leave, WVU wasn't available. So we got Louisville.

By then everything will be completely different. One trip to CA per sport isn't going to bankrupt anyone. Just enjoy the variety.

of some desireable games on our schedule some years. Look no further than the differing ticket prices. Those three schools will be in low demand. The ACC minus (Clemson, FSU, 1 or 2 others) could potentially add some desirable B12 parts and be a #3. Now with two small fan bases in CA I see that less of a possibility. Way too many tiny fanbase mouths to feed. It won’t remain like this for 13 years.

[EDIT: meant for Colonel Jessup above, oops, sorry.] It, along with many other things, might help us survive until 2036. I'm not gung ho for the deal, but I'm ok with it. One big difference between the Pitt/Syracuse add and the Cal/Stanford add is that I think that when the prior were added, most still had hopes that the ACC would be able to stay on the same plain as the B1G, SEC and even Pac-12 at the time. Well, all pretense of that is now gone. Now it's just a matter of trying to pick up a few (million) bucks here or there until this marathon TV contract runs out. And like 4x4hokies said below, I will enjoy the variety. But in terms of value to the conference, you are correct. It's probably about the same as Pitt and Syracuse. I will say this in defense of Pitt and Syracuse though. At least they bring big states for the ACCN. Ditto for SU/Cal and SMU. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 8/24/2023, 12:36:24 PM

College. On the athletic front as well as academically. Cannot have any single BILLION of any of those Research Grants endangered in a G5. Of course Jim Phillips was well financially compensated regarding his input towards directing this round of ACC expansion. When I saw George W. Bush involved, I knew ACC expansion had got real nasty. Him & poppy Bush were heinous people. Don't ask me to elaborate on that. I will get sick if that weasel starts getting involved in SEC matters. You never know with the Longhorns coming into the SEC. The door has now been opened by the SEC into that gigantic state, all the good & bad..

Heinous! I usually enjoy your posts but you are way off base…and the rules are no politics but …I have very close fam friends that were very very close with who you call Poppy to the tune of being invitees to fam events in Tx and Mass & on Boards. Your comment is unnecessary and added zero value to the issue. Of course perhaps you want to get into Arkansas related politicians if you’re going to break the rules? 🤔😉🤫🤣. Don’t need you to elaborate & don’t care.

They are not philanthropist .He knocked down hell's door. My post had nothing to do with comparing Arkansas & Texas politics. My post had nothing to with state politics. A crying shame that you cannot see beyond that elemental level. I cannot enlighten anyone here. The whole internet is being whitewashed with censorship. You like whoever the hell you want. I will do the same. Enjoy your disgusting naivety. Stop insulting people's intelligence. Do some research besides listening to the local & national mainstream news. I guess you will soon be wearing your little face diaper just like they tell you. Take your VAX too.

you will not be what our famous coach Beamer described as whacked!🤣🤣🤣 Trust me on this! PS. Basic writing skills class will help you make your points also! Carry on!
