Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 4729476, member: 1145"] How can Stanford and Cal help the ACC? Without Oregon and Washington, or SC and UCLA, their TV drawing power is nil. SMU's TV drawing power is even worse, at eloast right now. For SMU to matter fort the ACC psiirvley, the league would need to add other TX teams. The push to save Cal and Stanford is just another bleeding heart notion that could be made safely one of the two super powerful leagues but not the ACC. In adding, what the ACC requires now are schools that have privet TV drawing power for football above the. the middle of the ACC and, preferably, also have average attendance above averages above the middle of the ACC. WVU meets. Cincy is at least close, s is UCF. But ll 3 have Big 12 GOR now. SMU + TCU + Baylor +TTU would be a very sound 4 team addition, but that GOR for 3 of them would prevent it. The ACC should have acted to get in to TX in a big way before the Big 12 acted to save itself. [/QUOTE]
