But face what the ACC has that is a drag down all the time. WE only have 2 schools with truly large football fans bases. Making that worse, we have the smallest schools in a Major conference and the most private schools among Major conferences. WE have only 2 state flagship universities (2 and a half if you buy the FSU claim about itself), only 3 state land grant schools. All those things mean the ACC will always be held down. Winning can change none of that.

So what do we need done: Fewer small privates and more larger state schools, especially flagships and/or land grants, but also large as FSU is large, and located on. state with a lot of football history and football passion.

Specifically what would I do along those lines? I would want ESPN to tell me how much more we woqpuod get by dropping Wake and BC and replace them with WVU and Cincinnati. The fact is that for virtually 10-0% of games every season, both WVU and Cincy will draw more viewers, up to a million more, per game than will Wake and BC against the same opponents.

I now think that if something like that cannot be done to get the ACC more money, then the ACC as we know it is headed right toward death.
