Umm...no. That talking point died in 2011 when the ACC invited Pittsburgh. Try again.

Time heals all wounds. Money does too. Mainly money.

Yeah, but the P5 and ACC fanboys, most especially the ACC fanboys, still cling to that talking point like it's some kind of special magical blanky that will make everything they say about UCONN come true.

Unless Swofford is no longer there, the vision will be towards Texas and Ohio. Unless ND wants to join and bring Navy as football only. ACC has moved to Football first and Basketball second in any future expansion. IMHO, ACC is hoping to get some B12 teams if the league dissolves in 2024. 10 years ago, I think UCONN would have been in the ACC hands down. Football is the reason UCONN is not in the ACC now and unless something drastically changes, it won't be in any time soon.

That's the 2012 excuse when the ACC took Louisville. That wasn't the case the year previous. In that instance, you trotted out that old lawsuit chestnut, then immediately doubled down on the stupid and invited the ringleaders of said lawsuit along with Syracuse.

No thanks to the U_F twins. Double duplication of market with no added benefit.

No way in hell NC State is going to be completely isolated from the rest of the NC schools and every other original member of the ACC.


If you want more Florida exposure you have three open OOC games to go get it. Play the U_F and F_U twins home and home until your heart is content.

The real reason is the UConn negatives far outweigh the positives and as the years tick on and you get further and further from the Calhoun days that gap grows larger and larger. If UConn brought anywhere near the value that their fanboys thought they would be in the ACC or another P5 conference. They don't and they aren't.

Agree with ya on this, mostly ... but minor quibble with one point.

If there is a "next expansion", what will drive that bus is footprint, because there will be an ACC Network to support. So new markets will be a big consideration. So Texas and Ohio would be plum places to add to the conference.

But ... the ACC's football fortunes have reversed themselves since the last expansion (not solely because of the last expansion, but just naturally). So the need to "further bolster" the football side of things isn't nearly as great as it used to be. .... Now saying that does NOT mean that football will be ignored. It will still be important. But along with growing the footprint as well.

So ... to me ... that means better chances for schools like Cincy, UConn, Houston, Memphis, Temple, and especially P5 schools outside the footprint like Texas, Baylor, TCU, WVU, etc. And it means worse chances for schools like UCF, USF, East Carolina, etc.

Yeah Houston is being overlooked a lot in these threads. I could see them being a pretty valuable add, especially with an ACC Network in place.

There are a lot of deserving schools on the outside looking in. Houston is near the top of that list.

With all the hot water Louisville, Miami, and Syracuse have been getting into, I believe the ACC should recruit a couple of great schools in large markets (for the ACC Network) just like the Big 10. Who cares Rutgers isn't a football or a basketball school? Not the Big Ten.

Enter Tulane and Rice. Academic powerhouse? Check. Large market? Check? Expands the footprint? Check.

Miami, FSU, Tulane, and Rice can all be in the same division and battle it out in the Gulf for the Oil Rig Trophy!

Syracuse and Pitt were a part of that law suit and they are both in.

If the big guys all expand to 16 members then UConn and Cincy will have new homes in a P5 conference or whatever they will call themselves.

Syracuse was never part of any lawsuit in regards to realignment.

I have been a Houston advocate like I was Louisville . I think if the ACC did raid the AAC, SMU and Houston should be the two teams with the Dallas and Houston TV markets. Old SWC teams and neither team is hurting for money. I think that would be the right move if ND refuses once again and the B12 survives in the next CFP Contract.

I stand corrected. It was VT as a part of that lawsuit, but was still taken by the ACC. Granted VT was forced upon the ACC, but still it shows that if the money and circumstances are right all old bad blood can be forgiven.

Actually the missing pieces for a perfect 16 team ACC football conference are Notre Dame and Penn State. However, I do not see it happening.

Why would a fan of Louisville, which relies so heavily on the state of Florida for its recruiting base, want to elevate two Florida schools to the same level it is on? I don’t understand that thought process at all?

Also, why would Florida State and/or Miami agree to that?

The only way South Florida or Central Florida ever gets into the ACC is if another Florida school (or two) first leaves the league.

Now, that said, I do think the Big 12 should have taken those two teams last summer and I’ve been saying that for a long time. I think the I-4 twins make so much sense on so many levels for that conference and I think they’re making a mistake by passing on them. I think they are assuming those schools will still be there whenever they want them, but I’m not so sure.

RE: ACC could expand to 16 and 17 team formate
The schools that I'd consider for the ACC, outside of the current 14, would be (in no particular order):

Independent: Notre Dame
B1G: Penn St, Rutgers, Maryland
XII: West Virginia, TCU
SEC: South Carolina, Kentucky, Vanderbilt

The bolded schools above are the only that I think would even consider moving to the ACC.

AAC: Connecticut, Cincinnati, Temple, East Carolina, Central Florida, South Florida, Memphis, Houston

All AAC candidates would move.

Presuming Notre Dame did not join, if the XII imploded, I could see the ACC going for West Virginia, TCU, Houston, and Cincinnati for 18. Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma St going to the SEC for 18. The B1G and PAC joining forces for a super conference.

ACC
North: Boston College, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Louisville
East: Virginia, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, North Carolina St, Duke, Wake Forest
South: Clemson, Georgia Tech, Florida St, Miami, TCU, Houston

SEC
West: Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech
Central: Arkansas, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi St, Alabama, Auburn
East: Kentucky, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida

B1G-PAC
West: Washington, Oregon, California, UCLA, Arizona
Pacific: Washington St, Oregon St, Stanford, USC, Arizona St
Central: Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Kansas St, Nebraska
North: Iowa, Iowa St, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois
Lakes: Northwestern, Indiana, Purdue, Michigan, Michigan St
East: Connecticut, Rutgers, Maryland, Penn St, Ohio St
*West/Pacific have cross-pod annual rivals, OSU/MICH annual, ILL/NW annual
*Cali-4 will play each other

Old SWC teams and neither team is hurting for money. I think that would be the right move if ND refuses once again and the B12 survives in the next CFP Contract.


Now THIS should be it's own thread, and could generate some interesting responses, in my humble opinion.

If the Big XII survives the next CFP contract (which I think is more likely than it not surviving frankly) ... and expansion bubbles up again, how would it look?

I think in this scenario you have to assume that the Big XII adds 2 to get to 12 (if they survive, it would indicate that TV money is there for the league to continue on as is, and maybe incent them to grow 2 more schools)... so the conversation would be who would the Big XII add, and then would the ACC then add schools to bolster the ACC Network.


Let's say the Big XII adds ....

Cincinnati in the east
Boise State in the west

Then what does the ACC do? Notre Dame stands pat. Who are the best adds to the ACC? Or does the ACC stand pat like ND?

My point, which seemed to sail way over your head it might as well have been in outer space, is that the lawsuit excuse died in 2011 when the ACC invited Pitt. Full stop.
