They said this the BE football schools meeting today. And then, I bet, they called the ACC again to beg in.
Deep in my gut I somehow believe that the ACC will, for now, stand pat at 14. I don't know why but I think that the ACC went (goes) thumbs down on UConn and Rutgers. Afterall what do they honestly bring to the table? Think football and audience people.
I agree completely and I don't believe that ND will give up it's lucrative independency in football ala Texas. So no ND ... ACC stands pat.The ACC will stand pat IMO until they are 100% convinced they will never get ND.
ND will never be in a "now or never" situation. They can simply wait five years and wait for the dust to settle, then apply to the conf of their choice and that conf will kick someone out and admit ND. Unfortunately that's the way it is.
Yeah UConn and Rutgers are committed to the Big East...until the phone rings with an offer from the ACC or B1G. What are they supposed to say for now.
what precedent can you point to that suggests that one of these conferences would (or even could) simply eject a member because a better option came along?
Wasn't Temple booted out of the BE? Believe me, schools can be expelled from a conference. Traditionally it has been unusual but we are in a new era today.
