ACC is not interested in affiliate teams

All they care about is the money and getting TV coverage in as many places as possible. ACC wants full membership which is why Little Rock wouldn't work. App State is unlikely because they already have so many north Carolina schools. Oregon State is really the list of potential additions of schools with wrestling.

I've been thinking the ACC should add some programs just for wrestling
KillerMcCoy40 • 02/09/26 11:41 AM ET
Or ND could use the money that was donated for wrestling…for wrestling.**

I'd rather the ACC fully fund a Clemson program rather than have affiliate

And/or Syracuse. **

I have heard ACC is reluctant to do affiliate schools in sports. **

Excuse me, isn’t there a school named Norte Dame that belongs to
catovahokie • 02/09/26 01:28 PM ET
They don't belong in hockey either
Jethro Tull • 02/10/26 10:37 PM ET
Don’t shoot the messenger! They probably consider them a full member
TartanHokie • 02/09/26 04:25 PM ET
Lehigh, Bucknell, Army, and Navy get my votes**

I'd like to see us add the two SEC schools - OU & Mizzou.
Wilmington Hokie • 02/09/26 01:27 PM ET
I’d love to add one or both of the service academies
emhokie • 02/09/26 12:52 PM ET
Would love to see those schools added for wrestling**
