i think the ACC's problem [B][I][U]WAS[/U][/I][/B] that they didnt see football being the absolutely HUGE $$ maker that it is today. now im not saying the SEC saw it, clearly they didnt for they are not smart enough, and im not sure anyone other than the NFL brains of the 60s and 70s did.
 
football was/is an expensive sport. the stadiums are these huge things that sit empty 358x a year and the equipment needs to be upgraded every 4 years or so. a total waste of space and a pain in the arse.
 
hoop, now hoop is easy. build a gym, fill it 20x a year and use it daily for everybody else. there is no equipment other than a ball. and if you dont want to buy one, send every fraternities pledges to dook and let em steal theirs.
 
the ACC bean counters were happy with the beans they were getting from both sports. but primarily because they could make $$ with football without really having to spend it. this ties in to your coaches speach. they would have good ones but not great. and schools just counted bowl appearances and not bowl wins. that all starting changing with tv and cable. it just took a while for them to understand that. and once they saw all the $$ out there, they have now come to appreciate it.
 
i would expect east coast football and primarily ACC football...to absolutely EXPLODE in the next 20 years. because quite frankly, the talent is here, we are smarter than everyone else and most importantly RICHER than everyone else.
 
by 2020, the pendulum should be in full ACC swing.
 
Game the  on.
