Assuming the ACC wants to expand to 16 members and Notre Dame


is content with the status quo, then WVU and Cincy may make the most sense. Both programs have a history being good in basketball, so the basketball schools should have no issue with either school. The football schools may be a tougher sell especially with Cincy. However, Cincy has a better football history than UConn, Memphis, or even Temple. Plus, if the ACC wants to give L'ville a natural rival, then the only options are Cincy or Memphis.

ACC Natural Pairings
BC-Syracuse
Pitt-WVU
UVA-VT
Duke-Wake
UNC-NC State
Clemson-GT
FSU-Da U
L'ville-Cincy or Memphis

If UConn is added, then it would be forced to break up the Backyard Brawl or forced to pair Syracuse with L'ville.

BC-UConn
Syracuse-Pitt
WVU-L'ville

-or-

BC-UConn
Syracuse-L'ville
Pitt-WVU

If the ACC is going to expand again, then it should look at making sure each member is paired up with 1 natural rivalry. It will make things easier when it comes time to realigning the divisions.
