It seems to me that the two camps on whether Syracuse should have joined the ACC agree on two things: that support for Major College football in the northeast is very poor (per capita the worst in the nation, and it is much worse than that when you take PSU out of the equation), and that there is not nearly enough football talent in the northeast to staff even 3 consistently competitive P5 teams.

For me, the question then is: did the ACC in having added BC and Syracuse (Pittsburgh is so close to the OH border that it could manage to become seen as midwestern) long term add more weight that eventually it could not carry?

Wake, I have to admit, is a whole lot of weight to carry. Because while NC is much better for football than New England and NY, Wake is the smallest P5 school, and it is the 4th league member in NC. NC is not TX. nor FL, nor even GA or OH. NC does not produce enough talent, nor enough passionate CFB fans, to support 4 P5 teams.

Those are major ACC problems that mean our TV deal sucks.
