No no no no


The ACC should not make "whatever concessions that are necessary to nab UT".

Whenever "some animals are more equal than others" there is instability. And more likely than not VT will be on the wrong side of that instability.

Look at the revenue sharing concessions the Big East made to Miami back in the 90s. Look at the membership concessions the Big East made to Notre Dame and didn't make to VT, Temple, WVU and Rutgers. How'd that work out for the BE?

Look at the disaster of ACC expansion thanks to the concessions to entice Miami. The lopsided divisions. The permanent crossover rivals. The ACCCG in freaking Jacksonville. Boston fredo College. The only good thing about that clusterfrack was that we were brought in as a secondary concession.

Heck look at how the Big12 has fared allowing UT to call the shots.

If they (or ND) come... as equals... then welcome. But if they come with concessions it's going to be a rocky road.
