[QUOTE="GTRambler, post: 882146, member: 4009"] Well, after being a GT fan for about 60+ years — and still going strong — all I can say is that it just ain’t like it used to be. The days of “the student first” in “student-athlete” are over. The almighty dollar has slowly but surely been taking over, over the past two decades or so. It now reigns supreme. As for the ACC, well, it’s now being steadily marginalized into becoming a “minor conference.” The only thing I can think of in looking toward the future … and trying to predict it (which is a fool’s errand) would be … something like a merger with another currently existing conference … simply to assure the survival of each ACC school’s intercollegiate football team. Is a merger between the ACC and the Big Ten possible? Feasible? Who knows. But I believe the trend just may be heading toward this possibility. But … on the other hand … before such a merger can become reality, Clemson and Florida State could jump to the SEC, should the SEC be willing to invite them in. It ain’t over yet. That’s about all I think of, at the moment. [/QUOTE]
