this thread is close to 20% meta-posting...so I might start another thread posting about people posting about posting in this thread. Then someone can start a thread about that thread and so on until we destroy the fabric of time and space.

I don't agree with everything Mormon, but if not playing on Sunday is a deal-breaker for BYU, I admire them for not abandoning their beliefs for the big money they will give up.

I agree to some degree, at least with Miami. My list would be:

FSU brings Florida and rivals with UF
GTech Atlanta is the key to the south
Clemson located between Charlotte and Atlanta and rivals with UGA and SC
Maryland beat up program at the moment, but located in a ginormous market and natural rivals/travel partner for WVU
Pitt rival with WVU and ND and closer travel, nice market and they were originally supposed to be asked with WVU, until the Pac talk scared them away
VTech rival with WVU, but seriously doubt they'll ever move after what they had to do to get into the ACC
Louisville I see Louisville as a growth school if they were in a big conference, like TCU, but you don't lead with them
NCState Gets a foothold in NC
Rutgers NYC, period
Miami nice market, lots of talent, but a small private school with a lot of Booster problems currently. I doubt they'll get the death penalty, but it could be messy

I left off UVA, UNC and the other northern schools off because I doubt they'd ever leave. If we did get two of the schools, or even four, I see the ACC picking up Rutgers and UConn and not missing a beat or losing money.


I like this list and would only quibble a little with the order. Despite their current problems, Miami is a market that would be fabulous for recruits and TV money, they have a household name and their inclusion might help us land FSU and Clemson, so I'd move them higher. I'm probably one of the few that would actually accept ND for sports other than FB and BYU for football only so long as ND also entered into a 5-6 game scheduling alliance for football with the conference and did not share in the football tv contract money.
