70% chance we'd be in if "the rosters were trimmed"


It would really depend on who and what drives the decision-making.

If the decision is made based on what is good for athletics and athletics revenue, Tech would probably be "in" because Tech is a football school that, while down at the moment, has as much or more potential than any ACC school other than Clemson and Florida State. If the decision is about athletics, schools like BC and Wake and Syracuse and some combination of Pitt, Louisville, Duke and maybe Georgia Tech would be on the outside looking in. I'd also take a hard look at kicking Miami to the curb.

If the decision is made based on the criteria of markets or academic snobbery or other criteria that has led to some of the mistakes made by the ACC and other conferences, then Tech would be at risk.

But, there's no reason to affiliate east and west unless you are putting athletics and athletics revenue first.
