The ACC already has that. It's called ND and the jury is still out. I do


agree about thinking outside the box, I just don't think your box you envision is big or broad enough. The only reason to do so is that both parties gain or at least perceive they gain something. Prior to and even since VT has been a member of the ACC VT has embraced and used "partial membership" and partnerships to help its cause.
Look at the partial membership that we had in the BE that led to full membership. and our wrestling program was a member of a premier wrestling conference with prominent programs in PA (cannot remember its name) Academically we had have forged partnerships in research with John Hopkins, Georgetown and Wake Forest, even UVA to the point that we now have medical schools in our portfolio of offerings. But if there is no financial benefit or perceived marketing benefit to enhance prestige or academic pursuits, there is no reason for either party to pursue
