Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 4725382, member: 2196"] Wow, I’m at a loss. The ACC is just so inept. I really had high hopes for Phillips. Thought he was a great hire, but the vision of him and the ACC leaders have been abysmal. You add 2 teams on the West Coast that were left at the curb by the Big10 and Big 12? It made sense if there was a small pod out there with traveling partners. At this point, it makes 0 sense. People keep saying the schools that went to Big12 and Big10 didn’t want the ACC? Have you been paying attention? The first report of ACC actually meeting to discuss taking 6-7 PAC schools was on Friday afternoon when everyone was already committing to everyone!!! The ACC once again had no foresight and was behind the 8 ball. Now, they feel desperate and they are going to add teams just to add teams. This will never work. And SMU? This is all a sick joke. SEC adds Texas and Oklahoma. Big10 adds Houston, UC, UCF, BYU. Then Big 10 adds USC, UCLA. Then Big 12 works hard continuously and finally snags Colorado. Big 10 grabs UW and UO when they beg because of the bad contract. So Big 12 then responds and grabs UA, ASU, Utah. ACC finally decides to call a meeting and discuss expansion. LETS GRAB THE LEFTOVERS!!! 14 teams off the board, now is the time to go fishing!!!! This is college sports. We aren’t the IVY league. We are not here to celebrate and give money for the acedemic side of things. This isn’t an Academic Decathalon. It’s high major sports and the ACC continues to do things small and slow. This conference is on life support and there is no one to blame but itself and its lack of foresight. Imo the ACC looks even worse with these reports and if they do go ahead and add these teams. It would have been better if they just sat out and said this was the plan, and look to the expand in 2031 when the Big12 contract hits the market. There is a very good chance the Big12 will not sign a good contract. No big time programs and all the networks will be looking to get SEC and Big 10. The money will dry up and the Big12 should be ripe for the picking. [/QUOTE]
