Message: [QUOTE="tep624, post: 4735024, member: 430"] Well for starters it would start to establish a national identity for the ACC and show the schools not in the Big 2 conferences that the ACC is serious about being a national player. The ACC doesn't need to add marquee programs to do that but it does need to show it's willing to expand to those markets/time zones and values them. And by having schools in those areas, the ACC has 6-7 years of runway to figure out a long-term strategy that will entice the attractive Big 12 schools that the ACC wants to jump ship to the ACC. This cycle was the death of the Pac 12. I sincerely believe the next cycle will be the death of the Big 12 or ACC. Although it could end up being a merger which makes a lot of this moot. [/QUOTE]
