Message: [QUOTE="Scotch, post: 16912, member: 700"] The ACC move doesn't guarantee "magic" or national titles. My god man - lower the bar. This is about having a seat at the big boy table when all is said and done, and ensuring the health of our athletic department. The Big East might literally not exist on Tuesday, and you want to wait around to fight for some idealistic/traditional version of what you view as the right Eastern football conference? Plus, look around - the Big East isn't what it used to be. It's a mishmash of schools resulting from sheer desperation. There is no theme in terms of geography, size, or academics. Hopefully the ACC takes UConn and Rutgirls, and the northern division of the conference becomes the best of what the old Big East was - Pitt, BC, Syracuse, etc. We'll play some traditional basketball-onlies out of conference, and life will make sense again.
