I think you focused on the wrong aspect...


I do not give too hoots about academic concerns. EVERY conference is about football, only football and nothing but football. Conferences like the ACC and the Big-Ten try to say academics is their focus but there is no need to have an academic conference. The AAU is better suited for that sort of association and it has zip to do with any sport much less football. ACC schools use it as a snooty beating stick to bash otherwise worthy schools in some form of false superiority.

But, in a sense you did skirt the issue. The snobbery that WVU would face for years if it joins the ACC. I really don't care what fans think as fans come and go and change their minds quicker if at all. It is the power brokers in the ACC that would treat WVU poorly, bad scheduling, extra hoops to jump through, poor treatment in otherwise professional associations, making WVU feel like they had to be thankful they get to sit at the kiddie table for Thanksgiving Dinner. You cannot deny that UNC and Duke would pull that crap and that Greensboro would put a splinter into WVU in some fashion ever chance it could.

No thank you. That is not the way to treat any member and it would happen.
