Uconn would be the most likely and from all accounts they are pushing very hard for ACC admission. I've readon other boards though that Swofford is not a big fan of UConn atletic policies (and I don't blame him). ND is unlikely b/c they don't want to give lucrative independent football monies and would enter as a basketball-only school. Begins to smack of Big East and I think ACC wants to stay away from that and maintain both football and basketball ... and remember, it wasn't basketball that drove this realignment ... it was football. Ditto with Texas. Texas would enter as basketball only. Besides Okahoma and Texas have been having serious talks with the PAC-12. That's where they end up. Now how about Rutgers. What can they bring to the table? Actually the New Jersey and possibly New York City market. However, I am not sure how much of a following Rutgers actually has in either basketball or football outside of Rutgers ... I don't think enough to be attractive to the ACC. SU already brings that to a lesser degree. I think Rutgers looks to the Big 10. Who is left to raid in the Big East (assuming that ACC would still be looking only at the Big East). I think that Louisville would be a good fit ... athletically and geographically. Or, how about a raid into the SEC ... very unlikely.
And for those that feel WVU is a likely...probably not... at least academically. I have also read that they are applying for the SEC ... that would be a good fir for them.
