The rest of the ACC that has swimming & diving would love to see Syracuse add women's swimming & diving.  To add it though you'd want to do it right.  That involves an olympic caliber aquatics center for the team to use and practice in.  Within the ACC, after the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, a first class aquatics center fell in the lap of Georgia Tech.  It has a 50 meter pool with movable bulkhead to change lane length.  It has 1 meter and 3 meter spring boards and 3,5,7.5, and 10 meter diving platforms.  After Georgia Tech got that, the rest of the ACC one by one has been upgrading aquatics centers.  FSU, UVA, VT, UNC, etc. have all done so.  Clemson and Maryland chose not to and dropped swimming.  The old way was 25 yard pools.  Recruits want the better facilities these days.   I hope Syracuse chooses to do that. We'd love to welcome another team.

As much as I'd like to see Syracuse join the ACC in baseball because ACC baseball is great, ice hockey probably makes more sense for the geographic region Syracuse is located in.  Boston College is trying to do baseball in the north, but it's a struggle.  They might actually be better off switching to men's lacrosse.  Adding men's hockey at Syracuse would create the third men's hockey team at an ACC school.  If the ACC ever considered UConn, they'd be the fourth.  Then we could perhaps invite associate members from Hockey East or just arrange an alliance there for the ACC television channel if it gets going.   Hockey would help it with more content.
