Message: [QUOTE="zeekay, post: 18723, member: 905"] ACC has a conference provision stating all members are required to be in Division I-A Football. Gtown/Nova are out by default. WVA was already told no. Penn State would never downgrade to a worse football conference (let's be realistic). Same for ND. They have a contract right now making them more money than any member of a conference. If they are ever forced to move into a conference (due to some crazy NCAA split off or something) it will be the Big 10. L'ville and Cincy don't fit the ACC profile they're looking for (correct mix of academics, geography, and big TV market) UCONN and Rutgers are the only two options right now. No one knows if ACC actually wants to go to 16 until there are more options on the table a few years down the line. Also there are rumors that BC indicated they will try to veto UCONN invitation so they don't have to split the New England TV market. [/QUOTE]
