Perhaps it's my own fault for even looking at their boards but I find it comical how dillusional the WVU fans are about their move to the Big 12. A league that practically imploded just 8 months ago, solidfied themselves a bit with the addition of TCU and WVU just to keep the league together, now all of a sudden the Big 12 is some juggernaut that will "keep the ACC out of the BCS playoffs in most years" and are positioned to pick apart the ACC stealing FSU and Clemson easily and likely Miami, GT, Maryland, etc...
Is the ACC vulnerable with it's ESPN contract versus other leagues in the short term, sure we are. But there is a renegotiation underway which I believe will ensure the ACC has a competitive deal. Swofford was smart enough to know that expanding the ACC to become the east coast equivalent of the Pac 12 would drive value. I hope that is realized in the TV contract because what is and will be put together is about to be something special.
Now we just need Notre Dame and one other for all sports and we'll have a very solid, stable, and valuable league!! Now we just need to do our part and start winning. Go Cuse!
