3 things


1. I agree about the virtue signaling. Although I think of it more as a knee jerk reaction to the UT-OU to SEC move. Even the B1G had no answer to it. So they tried to make up their own club on the fly.

2. With respect to the ACC getting better as a conference, it will become increasingly hard to do. There is going to be an inertia to all of this. The TV money, the media attention, the sucking sound of football talent headed to the Deep South and a few B1G programs, and more. We need Pry to get us respectable and do it stat.

3. I think the virtue signaling is mostly about academics. Trying to put the academic and the athletic aspects on the same accord is an almost impossible task. We live in an era where players are coming who are going to be good enough to help a school win national title are going to be looking to money and their football careers first, not academics.
