[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 814688, member: 944"] ACC really doesn't have many good choices beyond Notre Dame. And I think that's a tough nut to crack (based on history and what ND alums I know tell me). Football revenue is driving this bus, and the impetus is to get better product to market...more "big time"games to offer to the streaming services especially. Baseball is (unfortunately) an afterthought in this whole process. My understanding is that the North Carolina mafia will never, ever allow East Carolina into the ACC, nor West Virginia. Once you eliminate those, the remaining candidates are either not very attractive football draws (UCF, Houston) or remote distance-wise (remnants of the Big XII like Texas Tech and Baylor). Chatter about Penn State is total fantasy stuff, imho. I fear that the ACC will do nothing, which will leave schools like GT in a Tier 2 category with funding well below that of the SEC schools. But I also fear the impacts on other GT sports if we join (say) the Big Ten, which is the only other realistic option that makes ANY sense financially. In other words, we're in a pickle, as far as I can see. [/QUOTE]
