It was a huge achievement for SU to join the ACC.
 
 
And it's an historic day for RU: association with Big 10 research universities, huge annual payouts, athletic conference security; as someone who grew up in northeast, I believe this is good for northeast college football even though it makes it a lot more challenging for SU. I would like to see RU as an annual OOC game.
 
 
It's also a big win for the Big 10: RU fits well as a state university, AAU member with huge amount of research.
It's a lot easier to create a successful football team then create a state University that is an AAU member located in a contiguous state with a huge, affluent population.
 
 
The ACC made a good selection with SU and Pitt and that led to ND joining and it is clear the ACC lacked a consensus to expand beyond that, but in my opinion the ACC left the door open for the Big 10. Given the Big 10 network, it was an obvious move despite the claims of several self appointed experts on RU and the state of NJ.
