Expansion Records
Expansion Records
I have been pretty vocal about how disappointed I have been in ACC expansion through the years. I liked Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College, but, quite frankly all have slipped in recent years in football.

Mickey, who could they have gotten in the last round of expansion? West Virginia was already tied to the BigXII through grant of rights contract, so the ACC had very few other options.

have been pretty negative on Wv. I dont disagree yet who does CU hire as Pres? The guy at Wv. Not complaining about the choice but it just represents an interesting contrast

Who has more National Championships, WV or Syracuse and PITT?
Does WV have a NC in any sport ever?
That being said, the biggest reason that PITT, Syracuse and Louisville were ahead of WV was eyeballs on the TV... We now match any conference in eyeballs on the TV especially with ND in the mix! Follow the money if you want answers!

ACC went North because of Northeastern liberals.....

UNCheat, Duke, UVa, and Miami are all tied in the elite liberals from the Northeast,
and will always be.
Now they are tied in geographically as well.
Just more of Swofford's BS (and obviously the UNC Board of Trustees) -
and still doing the Great Liberal El'Deano's handiwork for him long after he's in the grave.
How cute.
Clemson and FSU shoulda gone to the Big XII....
