Message: [QUOTE="elimunelson, post: 2628305, member: 615"] I have never factored the opponents as a reason i watch or don't watch. I would think if we were stuck in a lesser conference right now we'd schedule like we did in the 90s and have major programs coming in yearly. The ACC was a money decision not a decision to play better teams. We get a gigantic check per annum being in that conference. For competitive purposes our talent at this point would be better served in the AAC in a perfect world. I haven't seen a gigantic step up in recruiting since we announced the ACC in like 2011. You can argue the move has hurt us in football if the goal is to go bowling every year. The ACC would be fantastic if we were in national championship contention but that pipe dream hasn't been remotely in our crosshairs since the Tennessee game in 1998 (that was game 1 of the year).
