What's this?

BC destabilized ACC. Cuse, Pitt, UofL were scrambled additions.


We all know the ACC was feeling the heat from being stuck with that HORRIBLE 2010 ESPN deal. So, they clearly added Pitt and Cuse in order to renegotiate that deal. Problem is, ESPN demanded a prolonging of the deal. They had Swoff and Co. by the bxlls.

From there, the ACC begged Disney for the ACCNetwork in order to save the league. There's articles out there describing how Swofford had to plead with Disney and then go and plead with FSU to stay. They even had to let FSU pick number 14 to keep them happy.

Anyhow, nothing seems all that stable about any of those moves.

The ACC shoulda added Miami, VT, WVU to get to 12 and remained a rock solid league that truly had a footprint that extended from Baltimore to Miami. THEN, you slowly begin to move north as the BigEast was falling apart.

You let the Big12 be a decentralized hot mess of a league by REACHING for geographically incompatible schools like Pitt, Cuse, UCONN, BC and Louisville, not that any of those are expansion treasures.
