Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 4306196, member: 628"] Hard disagree. The ACC has always been, by far, the best institutional and geographic fit for SU among the P5 conferences (assuming the Big East was doomed). The ACC has six private schools as members. Literally every other P5 conference had only 1 at the time of the last major realignment (2011). ACC schools are largely located in areas that have substantial populations of migrated northerners, and/or SU alums. They're also located mostly in high-growth areas. Are you suggesting that SU should not have joined the ACC in 2011? What was the play? Decline membership, forsake tens of millions of dollars in media money, and play in the AAC? Drop football to independent status and stay in the Big East? [/QUOTE]
