If the ACC was down to Maryland, NC St, Clemson, and SC, a rebuild involving WVU, VT, FSU, Miami and potentially even Richmond and William & Mary might have been in order if the SEC passed in adding the Carolina schools.

The SEC doesn’t really have to do anything at 9 members.

The SWC, at 6, definitely needs to go shopping. That could be adding Houston earlier or even resorting to UNT. I think the preferred path would be to somehow work a partial merger with the Big 8.

Now that could have been an ACC worth being in! The best of the ACC & Big East, without the dregs of either. And no UVA, UNC & Duke to shoot down all the good ideas from their perch high up in the Ivory Tower.
