When I was under the impression that Notre Dame refused to be in the mix, I knew the last thing the ACC needed was another private school having major football issues. And I knew that the ACC eventually would expand to 14. So the matter was to figure which pair would serve best, with football being the sport that required more pop. So the criteria were recent football successes, average attendance, direct access to fertile recruiting grounds, etc.
 
I no longer remember exactly what was said, just that Swofford made some statement and then somebody else in the ACC office said something. I knew, though ND was not mentioned, that the combined statements meant that ND was in play. Then I began saying that the ACC should add Pitt and Syracuse. A couple of the Big Ten posters kept wanting to know why I had changed my mind, and I told them ND was going to be part of the ACC, and Pitt and Syracuse would be best with ND.

That was also when WVU fans in large numbers became furious with me.

I don't think WVU ever gets the invite. I do think ND will decide to go full football member eventually, and ND will not want WVU as the 16th member.
