Message: [QUOTE="ConnHuskBask, post: 154187, member: 1249"] What makes you so certain that the ACC would have a deal with the Orange, Sugar or Fiesta? If there are no AQ's and the former BCS Bowls are allowed to negotiate conference affiliations, they are going to align themselves exclusively with The Pac12, Big12, Big10 and SEC. The Orange obviously right now has an alliance with the ACC, but if they could slot themselves with the SEC #2 or even #3 vs. Big10 #2 or #3 they are going to do it. Just from a pure business standpoint you take the sure 30,000-40,000 fans of an SEC team rather than risk the chance of a Wake or Pitt winning and bringing 4,000 fans. Not defending the Big East or trying to disparage the ACC, just looking at it objectively. [/QUOTE]
