[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 814276, member: 3774"] I dont see blind or panicked expansion by adding WV, UCF or several other teams. I don’t advocate that just for the fun or desperation of doing it. I advocate for expanding based on what’s available. If we see no value in adding a school which would be the 3rd or 4th largest in the current conference (WV) and then a school which would be the largest (UCF) we aren’t forward thinking. Bobongo said it like I’m looking at it. Both schools are big and getting bigger, they increase our footprint and money. It seems some folks think Big 10 or SEC teams are knocking down the ACC door seeking admission, they aren’t and I see no reason they would. im not one offing WV I’m seeking a balanced approach to a larger expansion which has more appeal not only on TV or streaming but in traditional football. I could easily see Tech and UCF becoming a rivalry and WV has built in rivals in the northeast ACC schools. WV certainly makes Syracuse and Boston College easier to watch. I’m not interested in WV alone making the ACC great I’m looking for viable schools with large followings ( at home if not nationally). There are more than 4-6 schools that fit that criteria, increase recruiting presence, gate revenue and viewership interest. ND apparently isn’t coming right now and nobody is leaving the ACC until 2036 at the earliest. while some advocate waiting we will be 70 million per year behind by 2036 and 600 million cumulatively As a conference. we may not catch up but we dang sure don’t have to fall further behind. and once again, WV does bring everything I said they do it would be stupid to ignore a school that big that wants to join us, just from the potential they hold. Morgantown ain’t gonna stay an out of the way back hills city. UNC is in the middle of The Triad and has 2-3 schools next door. Chapel Hill is the 15th biggest city in NC and only has 15,000 more city residents. Their academics has been on full display as questionable and yet I don’t hear people asking what they bring to the table. Can someone explain what WV does to the conference that Duke, NC State, Wake, Syracuse, BC or even Tech doesn’t. Not being a smartass but I just don’t get the hate. What about them pisses people off ? and for the record, I say all this with absolutely no loyalty or endearing feelings for WV, I say it because they are one of the bigger schools out there that seems to want to come and again I’m missing how that hurts us.
