If you could add one G5 team to the ACC...

[JeffCuse]

if georgraphy was not a consideration (it is) San Diego State.

 

[SUfaninAZ]

Cincinnati or WVU

 

[FasterCuse]

What about UMass?

 

[PhatOrange]

For a G5 school I'd go with Temple or Cincy

 

[PAcuse]

Cincy
South FL







Temple

 

[SU68]

I think WVU still makes more money than ACC schools. That might have changed, depending on how the ACCN did this season though. I think it is very close.

My guess would be that WVU nets less than other Big 12 schools because of their greater travel costs.

 

[Hoo's That]

For a purely G5 choice - I'd agree to flip a coin between Temple and Cinci.

 

[OrangeMojo]

Cincy, Memphis or Houston

no thanks to another Florida school (USF/UCF) or another northeast mouth to feed (Temple/UConn)

WVU already in a power conference

 

[Trueblue25]

Is Cincy a fun tailgate/venue? Anyone?

 

[310Pigpen]

If it’s a school that’s not in a P5 conference already than it’s Cincy but, if we’re poaching a school that is in a P5 than it would be WVU. Miss playing each school in basketball/football.

 

[NashvilleOrange]

Montclair State - allow them to grow into New Jersey's college team and have an easy W in the meantime.

The campus is an urban one, quite similar to Syracuse's in that regard, etc. It also is located in, let's just say, not the best part of town. I've been there on a a couple of occasions to see my niece perform in some lead roles at the university's Conservatory of Music (Musical Theatre) College.

 

[HtownOrange]

WVU - You know why

Temple, Cincy, because they are near SU

Houston, Rice because they are near me

Tulane because it's NOLA

If we are poaching west coast options USC, UCLA, San Diego, in that order. Then Arizona or ASU, just because I love Arizona.

Not on the agenda: UConn, Rutgers - they don't make much money and they don't play P-5 football.

If I recall, they have less room for a stadium that SU has around the Dome. Still, I watched SU beat the Bearcats in Cincy and there were no bad seats.

 

[bcubs9497]

I'd like, Cincy, too.

 

[orange_in_VA]

Its definitely Cinci if we're talking about G5 teams. No other thought even crossed my mind. Top to bottom no one else is even close. Would benefit Louisville too by adding a regional rival

 

[KaiserUEO]

Montclair State - allow them to grow into New Jersey's college team and have an easy W in the meantime.

While that would be an awesome home game for me, Monmouth is much closer to being ready.

Decent casino too.

 

[Cusefan69]

Give me one of the service academies, Army or Navy. They are 1a and 1b for me. Memphis next. Another Florida school just makes fishing those waters that much harder. Cincinnati no interest going there what so ever.

Not just a regional rival, a blood feud rival. Not as much as UKentucky, but still there. They play for The Keg of Nails.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Temple for media market and recruiting.

Over umass?!?! What man. Temple was a terrible OBE opponent especially not even playing BE hoops. Losing to them to not make a BCS game was the programs all time worst loss in my lifetime.

I think uconn dumping FB is going to work out amazing so while they’d be the last team I’d add when they were floundering in the ACK I’d take them now.

Army would be fine no Buffalo. We aren’t good against UCF or USF so not them.

I’d go San Diego St to pull their weight and get us into a new market.

1. SDSU
2. Umass
3. Army
4. Colorado St
5. BYU

 

[Wrinkle]

I like Cincinnati as well, but am surprised everybody does

 

[ORRange]

The couchburners. Easy win every year

 

[NineOneSeven]

Why the temple love?

 

[CuyahogaCuse]

uconn isn't acceptable, under any circumstances.

And not even then.

We made it work last time. It’s been a while now, but we hosted an early era Fine Mess Roadie there. And brought home a year 2 Marrone W.

At Cincy, 2010
Clemson, 2019 (Same hat, much bigger food budget)
