Hey ClemTiger...
Bless you...We had this thread three months ago.
Your thoughts are my thoughts.
Expansion...UCF, Louisville...which BTW is only
5 hour drive from WF...6 from GT...6 and a half
from UVA...They're closer than FSU is to the
Carolina schools.
and Virginia Tech! If not...How 'Bout East
Carolina?</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Good post, Paul.
There seem to be a number of good candidates, and the ACC has the bankroll and the prestige to get who it wants.
Virginia Tech- good football, decent basketball, rabid fan support, in "ACC country", and a natural rivalry built in.
Miami- awesome football, awesome baseball, good basketball, possible problems with getting in.
Syracuse- good football, great basketball, good fan support, great academics, hell of a long way away.
Boston College- good basketball, good football, good fan support, good name recognition, fantastic market size, also a long way away.
East Carolina- good football, basketball is just starting, in "ACC country", decent fan support, good baseball
Louisville- great basketball, great fan support, good football, good marketability, question mark on academics, outside "ACC country"
Central Florida- good football, great facilities, big school, recruiting hot-bed, good market size, question mark on basketball, good baseball.
