If you can drop one ACC school and replace it
Jan 25, 2015, 9:35 PM
|
|
With a football power house, which school will you replace ??
My choice is wake forest. Just purely on past accomplishments and future potebtial. Additionally, too many ACC schools in the NC market. NC came close second simply because of their cheating habits. GT comes third because of PJ and the rolling balls on their offense.

The Carrier Dome is named after Carrier AC I think. Makes one wonder why they have NO AC. You can't fix stupid.

Wake has no business in big time football. It would be hard from them to do but there program would be much better off taking a step down. The app wake game would be huge for the. They are a little over an hour a part.

Auburn for Syracuse
Jan 25, 2015, 10:00 PM
|

Like some of the others I was tempted to pick Wake, but Wake has contended in the recent past.
Syracuse brings nothing to the table in football. Private school in a recruiting dead zone and isn't attractive for any decent potential bowls.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Wake oppose additional sanctions in the 80s?
Drop UNC, add UGA, bama, or auburn.. if we are just playing make believe here.

you have any idea how difficult it is to pass Poultry Science 757 @ NCState??
I believe you are underestimating the intelligence of those that howl at the moon.
With barely 1/5th the student population of NC State, I think it's hilarious that Wake Forest has a larger endowment of nearly $100 million.
Something outstanding is going on on the campus of Wake Forest, & I think it'd be wise to keep both institutions since NCState is, I believe, the largest school population-wise in the state.

Power 5 spot. Great academic school and more power to them but the landscape has changed on the athletics side. Trying to keep up at this level is probably not in their long term interest.

Drop Syracuse...Add West Virginia.
Would love the chance to get some pay back against the Mountaineers every couple years.
Plus, the ACC needs some good football rivalries like the Back-Yard Brawl.
I believe WV & VT have a pretty heated rivalry as well.

See ya Wake, hello Georgia. Good academics and geographically contiguous with the current map. I'd say UNC but I don't believe the cheating deal will continue long term and at least they're good at basketball.

- Wake +tOSU
Jan 26, 2015, 6:35 PM
|
|
Drop Wake and add Ohio State. I hate their fans but they are the highest quality BIG team. I'm sure their academics are strong (which Bama doesn't have going for it) and they generally have a good basketball and football program too. Win on all fronts. Plus it would suck the life out of the BIG giving Pitt and Cuse a better shot at recruiting.
Notre Dame will join fully eventually anyway. If I could steal a team it would be tOSU for sure. GT/Wake for UGA would be my second choice.
Bama: too redneck and not worth the headache and poor academics
Florida: too many teams in Florida as it is
Auburn: see bama
LSU: maybe but I think there are better options. Too similar to Bama
Texas: Too far
Michigan: Worth considering
MSU: Worth considering
PSU: Worth considering
It's ok. The ACC is set right now anyway.

Oh and WVU? Are you kidding guys? They are a dumpster fire, let them burn into nothingness.
They are not in the top 10 of non-ACC football schools east of the Mississippi. They really have nothing to offer. We can always just schedule them OOC if we want revenge.

easy - get rid of freaking UNCheat - and get rid of Swofford in the process. DO NOT HIRE ANOTHER ACC-RELATED PERSON FOR THAT POSITION. NEVER, EVER!!
The ACC has to be the dumbest conference in the country allowing Swofford to continue in this position. That is just wrong on so many levels. I can't believe our Admins (all of them) are that freaking stupid. They need a sign to hang around their necks and be made to wear those signs everywhere saying that they support Swofford to remain in his role, and that they are morons.
