The ACC might do better playing AAC teams (UConn, Temple, Cincinnati, Memphis, USF, etc.) or A-10 (VCU, Davidson, UMass, St. Josephs, etc.)

The AAC would be reasonable. I'm not sure about the A10.

It ended because it helped make the Big East seem like a competitor with the ACC. That had to be killed off and eventually the old Big East had to be killed off. The ACC isn't going to prop up the Big East. The ACC is stronger if the Big East continues its slide back into meaninglessness.

Yes.

If that is the reason the oBE challenge was cancelled, we should cancel the B1G challenge.

I believe it was the oBE that cancelled the challenge. The ACC then approached the B1G.
