I wouldn't be bragging on this, Crumpy


If your scenario is true, than the ACC is the dumbest conference in existence. If I remember correctly, you said that the Michigan, PSU, NW and Purdue were ready to jump ship (I think OSU was the 5th Big10 school, but I could be remembering wrong) to go along with ND coming in full. The ACC turned this down because they wanted Indiana instead of Purdue.

Turning down three/four of the biggest names in college athletics and a foothold in Chicago Indiana is ridiculous. If this is true, the ACC made the most collossal blunder in the business world of college athletics, ever. Bigger than the PAC turning down the Texhoma 4, bigger than what you think about The Big10 admitting Rutgers. Every time you bring that up, you are reinforcing everyone's stereotype of the poor business management and Tobacco Road bias of the ACC (which I think is a great conference).

I hope the ACC gets their full channel and makes the money they need to survive. I like VT (I would love to have VT in the Big10), UVA and GT (I just stepped down from coaching football. We ran the split veer and would use GT along with Navy as examples for our kids). I have issues with UNC (the fake classes really bother me). You would have been the undisputed king of college athletics if this scenario would have gone down and turning it away would have been a smack in the face to every university who is struggling with money flow and ticket sales.

Again, if I am remembering this wrong, than please disregard.
