Message: [QUOTE="Phillymoose, post: 4735242, member: 254"] We (the presumed ACC leftovers) cannot be certain that things will be stable for 10 years. I would wager they won't be. As time passes, the economics for certain schools to leave (or test the GOR / the real $$ impact of leaving) will become apparent. Adding schools now gives the leftovers votes to act in the go-forward interests of the leftovers. The idea would be to set up the ACC as the '3rd best' conference after the big 2. Without adding brand name schools and the votes, the ACC might easily become the Pac12 part 2, and Syracuse could easily end up like Washington State or UConn. Yes - it is true that adding the schools does nothing in the near-term, but I think it needs to be done as a strategic move. [/QUOTE]
