[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 814182, member: 3774"] To me the only thing The ACC can do is add teams. The ACC cannot control team prowess, which is based in large part to winning. The ACC can’t manipulate ND and I’m not to sure we want to be in a relationship that is based on manipulation from either side of that coin. So given the fact that there will be no edict issued which requires member schools to do more and there can’t be a magic snap of the fingers to create more alumni the only way to increase ACC loyalist is to increase the number of schools. that’s the key given GORs restrictions on movement out of the conference. It stands to reason that bringing in 4-6 new schools increases, however slightly the money obliged to the conference. Dividing money generated by the current schools can only be increased by adding more money sources. The bigger task in all this is increasing member appeal, from a sports perspective. Duke is Duke until it isn’t “Duke”. Despite small TV audiences WV, UCF, Oklahoma St and the like bring loyal and die hard fans, who sell their stadiums out. Perhaps adding West Virginia, Oklahoma St, UCF and Texas Tech as examples brings a bigger fan base to the conference but maybe more importantly it prompts The Dukes of the conference to stop blocking progression and see that they can be both popular in sports and highly regarded in education. Standing pat eventually leads to openly admitting that sports isn’t as important in the ACC and until sports becomes as important in the ACC maybe we should all resign ourselves to the fact that we can’t compete with The Big 10 or SEC as we stand on the corner preaching to seek faith in the second coming of Miami, Fla St, NC or even Ga Tech. you add by addition [/QUOTE]
