Sure, for some of your sports and maybe for students athletes that take schooling seriously. But from a cost standpoint with a new conference TV deal it wouldn't be anymore then it is now.
It was doomed as Dasher said about a decade earlier by the Catholic schools.
Sounds nice...but if it happens...look for crowds of 8-12,000.
Give me BC, WVU, Army, Navy, Pitt, Temple, and a couple of others, and I would not be heart-broken.
That’s literally the only matchup that interest me but we have to make it happen this year.

Im pretty sure they've got this covered
In order to survive the ACC needs a lot more TV revenue. Double the current amounts, but sadly the long term deal may kill the ACC. Syracuse should jump to the Big10 if they will have them.ACC, Pac 12 discussing ESPN TV partnership - Sports Illustrated
The proposal between the leagues comes after the Big Ten’s addition of USC and UCLA.
Officials from the ACC and Pac-12 are discussing a broadcasting partnership with ESPN that would bring together the two Power 5 leagues from opposite coasts for a mutually beneficial relationship, sources tell Sports Illustrated.
The proposal, still in its infancy, heavily involves the ESPN-owned ACC Network. Under the plan, the ACC Network—or a renamed entity combining the two leagues—will have exclusive rights to broadcast Pac-12 games to West Coast households through ESPN cable providers. The agreement is not a merger or consolidation of the leagues but is instead built around a media rights agreement with the worldwide leader in sports—an effort to clap back at the Pac-12’s loss of USC and UCLA to the Big Ten.
While the joint move could feature marquee nonconference matchups from the West and East Coasts—think Clemson-Washington or Miami-Oregon—the primary reason behind the partnership is the TV property. This would replace the failed Pac-12 Network with a reliable provider that can reach millions of homes out west.
The potential agreement could conceivably benefit all involved: The ACC is expected to receive long-sought additional television revenue; ESPN gets a piece of Pac-12 inventory; and the Pac-12 presumably stays intact, with its 10 remaining members getting an attractive TV arrangement. It might also be a more desirable alternative for Pac-12 schools than looking to join the Big 12. At least one Pac-12 source disputed reports of “serious” talks between some remaining schools and the Big 12.
San Diego is a great city that supports its teams; even though there is so much to do outside besides watching. I’ve lived in San Diego the past 20 years and it’s a fantastic place.
Unfortunately, Art Bell is not available to be commissioner ... or is he?
I’ll have been here in San Diego, 21 years this September. It’s the best.
Enough said. Thank you.
I agree...would totally love the PAC10 to add SDSU and either BYU or Boise St.
Don't laugh...within 5 years I could see Relegation be a real thing
How long should we care? Both parties benefited from the arrangement. That season assured we would never join the acc. The fans hated it.
