The ACC recently accepted members that have a 70% acceptance rate like WVU has.

WVU acceptance rate: 71.9%

Louisville acceptance rate: 75.3%

Virginia Tech acceptance rate: 70.1%

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I said nothing about the admissions rate which can be manipulated. I said admissions were not competitive.


For instance, if 10 morons apply at Cal and they accept 3 of the 10 morons, that's a 30% admission rate. It says nothing about the quality of the student.

You said, as anyone can see by reading your quote above, "Admission to WVa is not competitive." That means acceptance rate. It can't mean anything else. And I showed that WVU's acceptance rate isn't much different from at least a few schools that are already in the ACC.

So, as I said above, I'm not seeing any legitimate academic reason for shunning WVU as opposed to other recently admitted ACC members. If WVU was in the state of Virginia and VT was in the state of West Virginia, then WVU would be in the ACC today because WVU would have been the school that UVa insisted on as a price for its yes vote on Miami.
