Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 3455676, member: 3609"] The standard semi-joking reply has been "Whoever ND wants." If they have no preference, then it's wide open. There are a lot of "Don't wants". NCSU and UNC don't want East Carolina. Miami and FSU don't want another team from Florida. Everybody doesn't want UConn. My best guess - Temple because the hybrid Navy (for football only)-Georgetown (for everything else) membership would be tough to sell to some of the members. Temple has had reasonable success in football and basketball lately and they have a lot of the Olympic sports the ACC sponsors. It also puts us on a better footing in the Philly market and puts more pressure on Comcast (HQ in Philly) to carry the ACCN. I know more people in PA care more about Penn State, but taking Temple gives the conference nice visibility in eastern PA (their enrollment is 39K+). [/QUOTE]
