ACC imploding???

[Volador]

Not saying it is but, with the strong words out of Tallahassee this week, the SEC might just be in a good position to cherry pick a couple of strong schools (like we did w Texas & Oklahoma). And geographically speaking, it certainly would make more sense for ACC schools to join up with the SEC vs Big 10, 6 Pac, etc, right??

I’d want Clemson and Virginia Tech.

But ideally we’d be able to drop 2 schools to stay net neutral on count. I’d be looking to drop Missouri and the Shamecocks.

If you ask any NCSU fan, they think they belong in the SEC. NCSU would be like having another Kentucky in the conference.

Their mouth outruns their results, but they’ll occasionally come up with some decent years of football.

I think State would crawl on hot coals to the SEC if it meant they could get away from UNC .

 

[Sudden Impact]

With Texas and Oklahoma coming in that takes us to 16. Do we add 2 or 4 teams? My guess is 4

This is so true.

How’s Miami not make the list

 

[UTvol1fn]

FSU, Va Tech, and UNC. Kick out Missouri.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

NC State and UVA because they'd be easiest to beat

 

[Shirleyudontmeanthat]

How about none of the above. Miami is the ONLY school in the ACC that brings anything we don’t already have. Hard pass on all the rest

Nothing “southern” about Miami other than its geographic location being the furthest south. It’s NYC moved real far south. Zero southern culture. That’s why Mizzou should have never been let in and should be shown out. JMO.

No to NCSU and Duke. Don't see the value.

UVA and UNC make sense from New TV Market standpoint..

Clemson and Miami don't add new markets but it keeps another conference from plucking them...

 

[feathersax]

Don't wany any of them. Already too many with 16 teams.

Have to look at other revenue sports outside of football, Duke is a HUGE basketball brand... I voted for Duke and Carolina.

 

[luthervol]

GA Tech would be the best fit.

Miami doesn’t add a new tv market???wow it’s the ONLY team in the acc that does.

My feelings exactly.

Basketball isn't driving this. It's why no one wants to scoop up UConn and why SEC/Pac/Big 10 never looked at Kansas...

$120 million to leave the ACC per school. Might be some talk but that is a huge payout.. Also would not surprise to see ACC tie schools up in court for breaking away.

Great point, but I see it as the SEC is in the fortunate position of using conference expansion to exploit other sports; that is, SEC is so far beyond surviving for the sake of football, that it can leverage its position to exploit other areas (Basketball branding).

Not entirely true. We already have a small private school in a major city that doesn’t come close to filling its stadium.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Virginia Tech should be an option .

Vsndy and MSU are lucky they are grandfathered in...

What does Miami bring that we don’t have?
