[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 814226, member: 1640"] In reading all the arguments/conversations I see that we don’t all agree on which is the most important criterion for adding new members to the ACC. Is it getting into a new region / market? The B1G seems to like this approach because of a large alumni base spread across the country. Hence they add schools like Maryland, Rutgers and now Kansas. Is it access to new recruiting regions? The B1G supposedly would like more access in other areas of the country, hence their approach of Tech a few years ago. Is it to add brand prestige? The SEC is till king of this approach. Is it to add fan bases? The PAC 12 in the past, and in current discussions, seem to like this approach with the added bonus of adding to the appeal of their TV rights and opening up new recruiting areas. But the SEC is still the king of this approach too. Is it subscribers (whatever that means and however you define it)? I would be willing to bet Notre Dame is the king of this category and why they would like to never join a conference for football. They just need a place to park their Olympic sports. What is it we need for the ACC? What is it Tech needs? I am persuaded by all I’ve read that the ACC needs to go big with brand prestige or we lose product prestige and therefore money in the long run. If the ACC can’t do that, doing nothing for the short run, though a horrible choice, is better than any other option. The caveat would be if the ACC can work out a scheduling agreement with the SEC or B1G. If the B1G wants Tech and can make the grant of rights work out, I would be in favor of Tech making that move…if the ACC decides on a path of diminished growth, prestige, money and relevance.
