What's this?

Not big on BYU mainly because of travel...

Mountain Time Zone doesn't do it for me. Plus, I'm not a fan of partial membership for football. If it did come down to that, I'd take Navy over BYU mainly because of distance and the DC-Baltimore TV market.

I agree with adding a few non-ACC schools for sports like lacrosse and gymnastics. I might even add WVU for wrestling. The Ice Hockey idea might work in bringing in more New England viewers to an ACCN.

As for Notre Dame, I have little hope that they'll ever join any conference for football. If they don't join the ACC in 10 years, I say kick them out of the conference and let them enjoy their basketball and Olympic sports in the Big East, AAC, or whatever conference wants them. I doubt it will be the Big 10, SEC, or Pac 12.

UConn is 38% subsidy. Rutgers is 33% subsidy with B1G money. -- HOO86 05/17/2016 2:15PM

I would put ND in a pod with Miami, Pitt, and Navy. -- HOO86 05/16/2016 1:18PM

It was an example, not a dig. Substitute Bataan, then ** -- TerryD 05/16/2016 10:38AM

Fair enough, and just so we're clear, I'm not an ND-hater -- crabcake77 05/16/2016 12:12PM

Understood. It is not "my" goal...it is the institution's goal -- TerryD 05/16/2016 12:47PM

ND has leverage and will use it -- goldendomer 05/15/2016 11:23PM

UConn is a very viable option for the ACC if Navy doesn't want to come w ND -- Stech 05/14/2016 5:29PM

Having Navy play a full P5 conference schedule would be irresponsible -- crabcake77 05/15/2016 12:08PM

This first is about football & Navy has been better than most in the ACC, -- Stech 05/15/2016 1:45PM

Academy PR is all fine and good, but they don't need to join the ACC -- crabcake77 05/16/2016 12:58PM

Navy has not been better than most ACC teams in football recently -- 133743Hokie 05/15/2016 4:02PM

Did you see them slap Pitt up and down the field in a bowl game? -- Red Hokie 05/15/2016 4:26PM

Correct! Navy was 11-2 and lost to ND & Houston, beat ECU by 24, Memphis by -- Stech 05/16/2016 06:58AM

And i'll disagree. Not better than most last 3 years ** -- 133743Hokie 05/16/2016 07:09AM

Navy avg 9 wins and 3-0 in Bowls and almost avg 9 wins in 7 years, 6 bowls -- Stech 05/16/2016 07:37AM

It would be foolish for the ACC to let UConn go to the B1G or the Big XII. -- HOO86 05/14/2016 8:17PM

It would be foolish to absorb more dead weight in football. ** -- crabcake77 05/15/2016 10:56PM

If the Big 10 took Rutgers, Maryland, UConn and Kansas, it would be great -- ChrisLords 05/15/2016 11:07PM

I agree with everything -- ahokie4u 05/14/2016 9:43PM

The ACC didn't have a channel when the Hopkins deal happened. -- HOO86 05/15/2016 12:15AM
