[split] Future ACC expansion?

Too bad Memphis is so horrible academically because they would be the perfect ACC expansion candidate. Decent hoops, completely worthless in football, and trails behind out of area schools in their own market.

Why would we want to go to a dying conference like the ACC? After the Big 12 takes your only two decent football programs, there won't be any reason to join.
The ACC is the modern day version of the SWC.

Technically, the Big XII is the modern day version of the SWC. It just hasn't blown up... yet. Who knows? Maybe the recent moves will bring 13 years of peace, prosperity & stability to the Big XII. Still, the only way I'd want VT to join it is if the bring pretty much all of the good ACC teams...

Yall might be able to compete in that league in football.
Oh wait, Wake would be there. Nevermind.

I made no negative comments about the conference until a certain someone decided to bash my school.

Well you did make a snarky remark about the Acc possibly inviting Tulane, which he responded to. I'm just reminding you that this is an Acc board and to play nice over here.
