Stepping back from what is good for VT to


what was good for ACC allows you to see some accomplishments:
- defeated the Big East. If the ACC really botched it In the early 2000s, the Big East could have gotten FSU and others.
- greatly contributed to Big 12s current state. Yes, Pitt and Syracuse weren't sterling additions but if they didn't do that, Big 12 would be happy right now at 12 or 14 with Pitt and Louisville (before Maryland exodus).
- short of pulling coup of the century in prying Penn State away from the B1G, there were no schools out there that would add more value than what we have and make a singular ACCN channel viable. Credit ACC for trying to get PSU, locking up ND long-term, and exploring out of the box ideas such as Texas.
- the ACC is what it is -- many privates, small fanbases compared to other P5s, and the 4th/5th best P5 football conference on average due to the previous factors.
