Message: [QUOTE="cuse522, post: 1013851, member: 1149"] Oh sorry, I thought you were being a smartass. Presumably, the reason that they will be sitting with 15 members after Maryland leaves instead of immediately grabbing a school like UConn is to be able to have a bargaining chip to give ND for coming in for football. Basically, if you come in for football, we'll extend an invitation to any school you want. This would make it easier for ND to continue a long-standing rivalry with a school like Navy, which would normally not be invited to the ACC. Others have suggested a hybrid model with Navy in for football and Gtown for basketball. I'm not sure Georgetown would take that deal. That's the only form of a hybrid I'd be on board with - Navy football with ND coming on full and either Georgetown, Villanova or UConn coming on for basketball only. [/QUOTE]
