What's this?

Again academics and demographics don't help

west Va does not offer anything to the Big ten. They want 'properties. They got Rutgers for the NY market, (Big ten don't care for the charleston market), and Maryland got them the DC market all needed for TV Network.

Also, academically, sorry, 95 percent of the schools are great academic land grant schools. Penn St, Ohio state, Mich State, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Purdue. 'Type schools are very important.

Actually, ( I do think ACC might eventually add West Va,) but on ACC terms and timing. The other is SEC.

Academics can never be a criteria for ACC admittance ever again. -- Atlee Hokie 03/17/2019 12:11AM

WVU is kind of a special case regarding academics. -- HOO86 03/06/2019 5:46PM

Mike Aresco would be an interesting choice. -- HOO86 03/04/2019 12:44PM

Would the ACC dare raid the Big East, er AAC again?? ** -- RichCat 03/04/2019 1:07PM

Why not? Don't know any member of that league that would turn down ACC . -- HOO86 03/04/2019 5:22PM

My comment was more TIC, but it might actually look bad to continue to raid -- RichCat 03/05/2019 11:27AM

Who in AAC would be an upgrade for the ACC? ** -- Atlee Hokie 03/17/2019 12:13AM

If the ACC decides to raid the Big East/AAC again -- VTHokie2000 03/04/2019 1:13PM

Tranghese is 76. Aresco is 68. ACC should recruit someone in their 40s. -- HOO86 03/04/2019 5:28PM

I don't disagree with you that the ACC should target someone younger -- VTHokie2000 03/05/2019 12:01PM

Depends on when Swofford retires -- mrcaniac 03/05/2019 2:03PM
