Tell the ACC to "Show me the Money" or "Follow the Money".

I wish there was a way to beef up the ACC and save it but I think the writing is on the wall for the ACC. ND will remain independent or join the BIG 10 in a few years and I think Oregon and Washington and possibly Stanford will ultimately join the BIG 10 as well.

Not much left for the ACC.

Agreed. As a traditionalist that loved the rivalries of the past and the conferences as they were, this whole thing disgusts me.

I would like to see the ACC add the strength to make it viable, but it is not going to happen. We needed Miami to be the Miami of the past. FSU to remain a powerhouse. Clemson to do what it did. VT to remain strong. Then for Louisville, GT, NC State, and or BC to trade off making some noise with good teams every few years or so. This did not and will not happen. Thus, I think the Tigers are SEC bound at some point.

I hate it all. It's difficult to give up being a charter member of a conference, and all of the history that surrounds it. The love of money and power is killing everything. I suppose we have to adapt.

It’s the love of the money/power that is the root of all evil, pure greed is incredible temptation. I’m glad in DABO’s program it’s all about Love and learning to handle your money to meet your goals.

I think it’s a done deal we will move to the SEC. We had a clause in our contract on the media grants that protects us if we aren’t getting competitive money. It won’t be an issue if the SEC & Clemson agree it’s a win for both parties.

My guess is the board already knows the plan for our conference destination & it will be announced at a later date. Middle of the season or so.

Clemson will be ready for the challenge too. Let’s go Tigers!

If you had a choice, would you join Coke, Pepsi or Keurig Dr Pepper?

Hint: Dr Pepper will never be #1 unless they buy Coke's more lucrative half. So until the ACC can recruit Bama, Auburn, FL and UGa, the ACC cannot be "beefed up" to match the big boys. The only meat available is sausage.

If we seek to retain our own identity instead of getting absorbed into the SEC collective, we will be alone. That's not the identity any of us wants.

It has to be the SEC and they know it. They may make it hard on us getting in for various reasons.
