I know in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter, but I hate being in a conference that doesn't have an AQ. Feels like it's not really a "conference".
Someone in the conference better get their act together and go D1, or the ACC has to allow associate members. There has to be a bottom feeder willing to take beatings year in and year out just to "belong" to the ACC.

I wonder if Army and Navy would join, if given the chance?Should have grabbed Hopkins.

Can’t believe they have major rivalries in lacrosse in the Patriot with anyone other than themselves.
We will see. The ACC can offer them a lot more exposure for their teams and a markedly better level of competition. They might value that. I am sure their alums would.Unlikely, Navy if they left would join the Big East. Don't believe there's much clamor for Army from the southern schools. Amry and Navy have pretty good rivalries with Loyola and Lehigh plus themselves as you noted, can't seem them leaving anytime soon.

I have more concerns over the ACC mindset and if they would ever be willing to do this. To my knowledge, they have no associate members today and I am not aware of any associate members in any sport in the past either.
Yeah, I know. Just expressing my displeasure with the status quo.Unlikely to change anytime soon. ACC is not interested in an associate member and despite a yearly article saying differently no ACC school is remotely close to adding Lax at this time. FSU is a long shot at best.
I know there are hurdles with Title IX, but it boggles the mind that there isn't a current ACC member that can't find a way to make it happen. Anyone know who in the MCLA would be best positioned?
I'm waiting for NC State.I wouldn't mind seeing BC pickup D1 LAX again.
That dog isn't gonna hunt. MAYBE, SU gets a B1G invite when TSHTF.
The Big10 and SEC are giving the remaining P5 conferences the Google, Facebook, Microsoft treatment. They are outspending everyone on facilities, coaches and NIL. It might be a two horse race in major college sports in 5 to 10 years if the other P5 conferences don’t pull magic from a hat soon.
With a 50 million dollar difference in income, the ACC is going to come unglued. ACC commissioner doesn't have any ideas to change the trendline.The Big10 and SEC are giving the remaining P5 conferences the Google, Facebook, Microsoft treatment.

Unfortunately, there's no magic to be pulled for the ACC because their current (craptastic) deal with ESPN is through 2036.The Big10 and SEC are giving the remaining P5 conferences the Google, Facebook, Microsoft treatment.

Georgia Tech. Their MCLA team has been to a bunch of Final 4s.I know there are hurdles with Title IX, but it boggles the mind that there isn't a current ACC member that can't find a way to make it happen. Anyone know who in the MCLA would be best positioned?
