Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 429742, member: 405"] It's called "rivalries". Conferences have forgotten about them lately, but they are important. The biggest failing of the ACC has been the lack of the Miami v Fla State rivalry they anticipated in 2003. Florida State already plays Florida. Why not in the league? It takes a big national rivalry game away from the ACC as a broadcast property. Similarly, Clemson v. South Carolina every year would be a hell of a game. If you're going to add teams, why not balance new TV markets with some quality brand teams. The Big 10 just made a move based on markets, but only after they moved on Nebraska, one of the finest brands in college football. [/QUOTE]
