100% agree

ACC needs to grab USF, SMU, Arizona State, and Stanford ASAP!!!

I'm good with this. Stanford better get some sort of travel stipend though

Stanford has more money than God. Screw the stipend.

Arizona State is in Tempe....right? A suburb of Phoenix, not Tucson.

My bad. Still a smallish city. Point stants - it's not Phoenix. For that matter, not that many people in the entire state.

Phoenix has a population of over 1.6 million people, and Arizona has a population of over 7 million.

Arizona is bigger than Utah, Oregon, Lousiana, and Colorado. If I have to pick only one 4C school, ASU would be my choice.

All true. I guess I'm focused on just 2 states for expansion: Texas and California.
Give me SMU (unless TCU is available!) and Stanford (though I would consider San Diego State), please.

See what associating with the ACC did for the Irish?

Thanks.

No, it had nothing to do with it.

Of course not, but if ND was in the Big Ten, that would absolutely be the narrative. In fact, I'm surprised their fan boys haven't claimed your hockey affiliation is the cause.

It was the THREAT of Notre Dame jumping to the Big Ten that caused Duke to lose to them in the Natty.

I wholeheartedly agree with your entire post.

Yeah? If so, ND should do that every year in every sport.

They must be doing that in football already.

I was going to say that at the end of my last post, but refrained.

Congrats!
