Don't see how the B1G's 12 is all that much better than such an ACC 12.


OSU, Michigan, and PSU are top notch teams. However, FSU and Clemson can give them a run for their money.

And then the B1G has Nebraska and Wisconsin, while the ACC has Miami and VT.

From there, the ACC likely has an edge in football comparisons if you replace BC with WVU.
UNC, WVU, NC St., Maryland, GT, etc. can matchup with the likes of Minn., Iowa, MSU, or Illinois

I actually feel an ACC 12 with WVU instead of BC would beat a B1G 12 in many seasons in an ACC vs. B1G challenge.

Additionally, the ACC has much better basketball and Olympic sports programs.


The gap should not be anywhere near what it is today. Had ACC leadership not totally botched the BC addition and it's 2010 contract, the ACC would at least be within the same realm as the B1G and SEC. There's little reason the ACC shouldn't be WELL ahead of the Big12 and Pac12 at this point.

And oh, the ACC should have moved toward a network in 2010. If the University of Texas can work out a deal for a network, then the ACC should have been able to. There's few excuses. If ESPN said no, which I don't know why they would have considering they started a network for one school, but if ESPN said no, the ACC should have began moving forward with someone else.

Even the Pac12 Network has been profitable, though it hasn't made as much money as they hoped. The ACC has been earning next to nothing these last 6 or 7 years from such programming. But hey, Raycom's still with us!
