Conferences and presidents dont just arbitrarily kick out schools
This is the difference between joe blow fans and presidents who are in charge of their institutions. No school gets kicked out; never happen in the ACC...
If the idea of expansion and West Va is discussed, it will 1) discussed in context will specifically identifying revenue opportunities for the conference (ie will ESPN adjust the deal for the network up to ensure existing revenue increases for existing members). 2) how does the membership grow the conference (question west va population is declining; WV TV market not good (might can mighty metropolitan area of Charleston, and WV area overlaps existing areas of the ACC. and last will ACC be willing to help with WV in expenses to leave the Big 12.
I'm not saying it will happen but a lot other things have to be discussed with other ACC business lines. Specifically, will ESPN be willing to increase total rights to account for West Va and not only keep the established revenue streams but increase it to the existing members and be able to allow equal streams for the 16th member WV
Its not as easity, hey join our team and play ball.
