What's this?

I keep hearing about BC and Cuse dropped, but yall don't

mention one important factor. At least in ACC terms they each represent huge TV markets.alone. Cuse actually has a pretty strong football tradition going way back. I don't know the attendance numbers (turnout) other than the Carrier Dome being small, but I think Cuse always as a chance to be a strong program again. BC will never be great but they can be competitive. I've seen some great games played there ...good fans.

Wake is the only one I can see out of the mix. For one it is redundant as far as market.

Maybe Duke too, but I don't know, the overall program seems to have enough power to keep hangin' with the big guys.

Anyway, I think Cuse and BC will always have a seat at the table one way or another as there is simply no alternatives in their very populated regions, except..in the case of NY/NJ you have Rutgers!!!..ugh.well, Ruts is at least very large public university
