What's this?

Re: Guru's

The ACC has passed on WVU 168,429 times. The only chance they have of getting in the ACC is if BC, Syracuse, Pitt, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Carolina, NC State, Duke, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Miami and Notre Dame ALL have left. Louisville, FSU and Clemson are on the fence.
The SEC is only interested in UT and OU. They don't want any of their siblings. They don't care about basketball.
The best option for the ACC is to form a western pod of
Texas +1 of Houston, Baylor, Texas Tech
Oklahoma +1 Oklahoma State?
Kansas (if they are not available, one of the Texas schools above.)

UNC's not got the pull it once had. New sheriff in town. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 10:55AM

Sure. Texas isn't coming to the ACC. EVER. -- chuckd4vt 10/09/2016 2:32PM

Not sure why you're so hung up on WVU. It's not going to happen. -- GoobyPls 10/10/2016 1:30PM

They collaborated to pay players as little as possible. -- marcbvtgm 10/10/2016 12:17PM

But not on conference realignment issues, Conf champ games, etc. -- Mr. Touchdown 10/10/2016 11:49AM

In order to breakaway, tons of collaboration AND lawyers will be needed. -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 12:56PM

Agreed. The politicians will be involved. ** -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 12:12AM

They will be fighting for the G-5 schools in their states that -- RJHokie 10/10/2016 6:43PM

Wrong. The G5 have little political support. It's why they're G5 schools. -- marcbvtgm 10/11/2016 08:11AM

I hope the politicians don't get involved -- UCHusky90 10/10/2016 09:47AM

I just hope it's limited involvement. Think it will be. ** -- chuckd4vt 10/10/2016 10:04AM
