What's this?

Why would we take anyone?

I hope we don't throw out life rafts to anyone unless they add at least as much as they take out. That's where a lot of these dissolution scenarios lose me - they assume that the SEC and the BIG will get the prime cuts and then the ACC/PAC will pick up a bunch of scraps. They might get the prime cuts - I just hope we pass on the scraps.

I have no issue with having WVU in the ACC, as long as they are increasing the size of the pie - I just don't see that they do. They have some natural rivals (PITT, VT, Louisville, etc.) but I'm not sure that is enough given their total lack of market.

I don't believe that traditional "conference expansion" logic will apply -- VT ChemE 1986 05/02/2017 5:58PM

16 would be even better for the ACC. Adding WVU & ND would be great. -- chuckd4vt 05/02/2017 8:57PM

WVU is the best fit due to regional rivalries. -- HOO86 05/02/2017 1:41PM

AAC just had more players drafted than Big 12! Not too good! -- Lakeridgehokie 05/02/2017 08:49AM

That's a surprising stat. -- Maroon Baboon 05/02/2017 1:50PM

Finebaum hanging out here too? 😎 -- Stech 05/01/2017 10:11PM

If Texas pulls out of their tailspin the Big 12 may be worth -- goldendomer 05/01/2017 9:09PM

That would help Texas, but not sure it would help the Big XII. -- HOO86 05/01/2017 8:48PM

At some point, I think they need to invest and take a risk. -- Maroon Baboon 05/01/2017 10:42PM

They actually got quite lucky w/ TCU. I would add Boise and BYU yesterday. ** -- chuckd4vt 05/02/2017 11:08AM
