(1) procuring Miami is what tipped the balance, (2) WVU doesn't = $


I agree WVU would be better but it wouldn't changed the financials. In the largest context, ACC did what it needed to survive (add Miami) and the other expansions can be argued as needed/successful. If you ask 10 different people what schools the ACC should have added, you'll get 5 different answers even with the benefit of hindsight. I hated the strategy of "markets over substance" from day one but there are people that can make the case it is still the correct move.
