Reality is We are not going Anywhere

I hate to say it, but its not going to happen. Of course we have our options open, and are talking to people, who wouldn't with what is going on? But at the end of the day when the dust settles, the ACC will still have all its member, still have the Orange Bowl Tie In, and still have 2 teams in the Chic-fil-a Kickoff Game.
It sucks, but nothing will happen.

I agree. CU should have been in the sec long ago. But poor leadership will mean a continuation of being stuck in, and screwed by, the acc. No change coming.

Ok nagative nancy, you're already wrong on one account.
In 2014 the chick fil a kickoff is Boise St. vs Ole Miss and Bama vs WVU. We've already lost it.
The ACC is done. either get off the bus or ride it over the cliff.

The game was never meant to be an annual SEC vs. ACC game.
The ACC will be in the next 3 games and will continue to participate in the event in the future.

You guys are in such denial it's funny. Once expansion is done the ACC is done in football.

J - I tend to agree. ACC will not go down without a fight.

As bad of a decision maker as Swofford is made out to be on this board, he is not dumb enough to let all his football schools bolt and then take the enevitable financial hit that is sure to come. Football pays the athletic bills for most all of the ACC schools. If he has to, Swoffie and the ACC will probably make Clemson, FSU and VT offers they can't refuse. Something like a higher percentage of earnings the higher a school finishes in football.
Everyone on this board is a fan and not a BOT member or Barker. Fans don't realize what a bid deal it is to be associated with the academic excellence that is the ACC. Barker, etal will not leave the ACC easily. I heard a stat that the average US News ranking for ACC schools is something like 49. Texas, which is a great school in its own right, only ranks about 54th. Going to the Big 12 is a major step down academically for any ACC school. Like it or not, this means something to the people who are not just fans but actually make the decisions about conference membership.

Dolf, if academics is not an issue

Then why do conferences always bring this up with regard to expansion. Why didn't the ACC invite Louisville instead of Syracuse or Pitt? Why wouldn't the PAC 10 take Okie State when OU and OSU were a package deal? Why would the Big 10 take Vandy in a heartbeat but not UK or UT? Notre Dame has issues with the stem cell research going on in the Big 10 schools - I know this is a religous/Catholic thing, but what does it have to do with athletics?
Like it or not, the academics of other member institutions is a factor.

Swofford is nobody's fool, as the geniuses on Tnet have assumed. Sharing the bowl $$$ is not to bad unless you happen to win the ACC and go to the OB, which we have done once in the BCS era.

What am i missing that PSU would even consider leaving the B1G and those multi-millions brought in by their network to come to the ACC?
