ACC vs. the world
Is it just me or have there been a big influx of ACC doomsday people lately?
First it was the BE/WVU posters, then the Big12 posters and now there's this asinine 20 team conference crap from the B1G/SEC posters.
Is there any conference that doesn't want the ACC dead at this point?
I hope they get this proposed ACC Network up and running soon so we can just crush them in revenue thanks to the larger population in ACC territory.

Doomsday predictions are sexy. That's why, in my opinion, people like to read them and repost them.
I think the ACC's on solid footing moving forward. There are obviously improvements that need to be made for the conference, however, all in all I don't see the conference going anywhere for a long, long time.

RE: ACC vs. the world
Just for fun my ACC empire:
LHN = ACCN
Add Texas and make them and ND play 6.
Add Cincy & UConn to get to 16 in football and if those B1G people are right then it could leave the door open for ND & Texas to become full time members which would allow for a 3 division set-up which would allow most teams to stay close to home.
North - Pitt, Syr, BC, ND, UConn, Cincy
Central - UVA, VT, UNC, Duke, NCST, Wake
South - GT, FSU, Clem, UL, Texas, Miami
It's not balanced but with a semi-final the South should get 2 teams most years.
To match BTN's content get a deal done with Hockey East via associate member status and even have some of them join in lacrosse to pad the conference's numbers(BU(2014), UMass, Providence, & Vermont). This would also allow for schools like Pitt and Syracuse to join in hockey in a conference with some other ACC members and not force BC & ND to leave HE for an ACC-only hockey conference.
This would increase the ACC to 16 full-time members, 2 part-time with the opportunity to join full-time & 9 hockey and/or lacrosse members giving the ACC 27 members.
