I used to think that ACC is a much stable conference, but not anymore.  they add SU and PITT and raised exit fee.  then they bring in ND and raised the fee again.  still they could not get GOR done.  then all sudden UMD is gone. the track records tell me that ACC is a separated house.  even without UMD, ACC is still a viable conference if it can hold together, but it is a big if. you know what a separated house will lead you to at this critical time.  I see real danger for ACC to become big east 2.0.  a UNC fan sum the situation very well in a FSU thread:
"[SIZE=13px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]I really wonder if any of this were avoidable? The NC schools(I am an NC native and UNC grad) seem to have been too slow to realize the importance of haviing strong FB programs. When VT, BC, and Miami joined the ACC, I think we didn't market the move well enough and many of our member schools fielded unacceptable products on the field. To top it off, I get the feeling that some of this was driven by an "us"(basketball) versus "them"(football) culture. Such division should have been cast aside and support for both should have been fostered. Now, many years later, our commish never founded a network, we never promoted our conference we'll enough, the conference has developed rifts, and we are locked into a tv package that is poor relative to the other power conferences. It really stinks because I think savvy moves may have been able to avoid this mess."[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
