Well, I have no idea what ACC management will eventually do, but since conventional wisdom is that all the conference realignment currently taking place is driven by revenue, I think the ACC would be wise to look at the prestige, cachet, and Cash that a formal tie-in with MSG could bring to the conference.  It would be a bit of consolation for you guys, and it would be a way to raise the conference's profile in the media consciousness.

Forget if it was here or on the InsideCarolina board that I already trotted out this idea, but what if each ACC team were to play one official "home" game a year at the Garden.  My idea is that the opponent would have to be a team that is a traditional power, or that was ranked in, say the top 30 or no higher than top 40 in the previous season.

I don't know about the rest of the conference teams, but Carolina always plays a few heavies in November or December by way of toughening our guys up for the Dance.  This year we play Texas, Kentucky and Michigan State among others.  We play Michigan State as our season opener, you've probably heard something about it, we're playing on an aircraft carrier in San Diego.
 
So have every conference team play one game a year in the Garden.  Great exposure for the conference, and a fun destination for our fans.   Syracuse vs UCLA in MSG?  Winner.  UNC vs Kentucky in MSG?  Ditto.
