WVU football playing an ACC schedule would not become a national recruiting juggernaut, but it would revive a solid base it once had stretching from New Jersey down to Miami. Those guys who are not 5* or high 4* tend all to want to play fairly close to home. And few of them care to play for agate that plays all league games 1000 miles away. So, yes, I do think that WVU in the ACC would solidify itself. And WVU fans are quite passionate. The reality is that ESPN is not going to pay the ACC more for adding a WVU as it would form adding ND. But dropping Wake and BC to add WVU and perhaps Cincinnati should be worth a raise. And I would much prefer to try that than to do nothing. [/QUOTE]
