Thanks and to be clear I don’t agree with just doing anything.  Just doing anything would be adding Oregon St,, Charlotte and Temple or something like that.

I do think there are opportunities to develop programs and markets like Las Vegas, San Diego and the Bay Area.  And I think SMU is an intriguing program.  But there has to be some level of long term vision associated with it.  If it’s simply throwing crap at the wall then I agree it is desperate and will probably end up just failing in the long run anyway.  But I do believe there are quality programs out there that can be added that the ACC can help to develop over the next 5 years that can be used to springboard recruitment of the Big 12 programs of highest value when the time comes.  I don’t see the pitch to SW and MW Big 12 programs of an Altantic coast based conference that just lost FSU, Clemson, NC, etc.  The Big 12 would arguably be the more stable conference at that point and would probably just take what they want from the ACC leftovers rather than the other way around.
