They're smart. 1.Navy 2.WVU 3.UCONN 4.Cinccy Texas ain't happening.


They would add Navy to preserve their rivalry. However, not sure Navy says yes.

From there, ND would see the only school that would add value to the contracts, WVU. WVU is a bit closer a neighbor for them too. Not bad.

If they can't get WVU through the ACC snobs, then ND would be OK with UCONN.

Anyhow, the folks at Notre Dame do seem to know what they are doing, so I would trust them to make a good decision. The addition of Navy isn't exaclty great for VT, but they would do if ND really pushed for them.

However, if ND and WVU were 15 and 16, then this league would actually be on to something.

Take a gander at these pods.
ACCN:
ND
Cuse
BC
Louisville

ACCMA:
WVU
Pitt
VT
UVA

ACCNC:
UNC
NC St.
Wake
Duke

ACCS:
Clemson
GT
FSU
Miami

Now THIS is football and the home schedules would be worth paying for. VT could arrange to play Miami as a permanent opponent in year's we're not matched up with the ACCS. Make is happen Swofford. Our actual pod would be filled with RED HOT rivalries. I could see UVA vs. WVU becoming decent TV. Gotta think like a fight promoter and come up with stuff the people would actually want to see.
