RE: Random thought: PSU to the ACC as a partial

They only had to beat Clemson, NC State, MD, and UNC to be competitive. UVa does not need conference money like other schools in the ACC need that money and the faculty is not going to go along with papering over the misdeeds of misanthropes (unless of course they are wealthy white kids on the lacrosse team).
The sports fans don't run NC State or UVa. They run UNC-Ch but only barely.
The expectations of the fan base is a lagging indicator - take Nebraska for example their fans still have their old expectations but as those older fans die off, the majority of the fan base will have come to expect mediocrity from Nebraska.
The only "fix" to ACC football relative to UVa, NC State, and UNC is removing Duke from the equation because the mouth from Duke faculty has a negative impact on its close neighbors especially those that can't hide a misanthrope.
Trade Duke football for Navy football. Allow both to compete in other sports.
Hey man, once the expanded playoff goes through we can stop all this nonsense and actually ENJOY the conference we have!!
Just swap VaTech or Pitt for BC or Syracuse and I’m happy.
