[COLOR=#141414][FONT=Georgia]It will not happen but I go with yes, with a few conditions, and probably not for a few years.  First you have to wait and see what happens with the rest of the NBE and ND.  [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#141414][FONT=Georgia]IMO what caused disruption in the NBE was the large amount of basketball only schools and their power when it came to voting.  If you could figure out a way gave Nova and GT limited power (only vote on basketball/olympic sports issues) then this could work.  Getting into Philly and locking up DC would help to further solidify the east cost, increase revenue, build rivalries (GT vs Maryland would be real interesting), solve some of the conference balance issues, and escalate ACC basketball as unquestionably the best basketball league in the nation.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#141414][FONT=Georgia]The problem is ND.  One of the main reasons the ACC did not go beyond 14 was to have a spot available for ND. If you start offering basketball/Olympic sport only membership you would never have a shot at getting them as a all sports member.    [/FONT][/COLOR]
