I agree it would have made more sense if the ACC was also


launching a network. Although, if the ACC was planning to launch a network at that time, then it might have made more sense to add 5 schools to minimize the BC island problem and considering that the ACC would be adding multiple private schools (generally not as large of a fanbase) at the same time. If the right players were involved with the expansion, then I may even consider adding 7 at one time. It would be a bold move and catch a lot of people off guard. However, it could be a great move in creating a huge splash for the ACCN and go a long way to securing the ACC's influence along the East Coast. At least I would think it would be tough for the ACC to say "no" to the possibility of adding BC, Syracuse, Penn State, Pitt, WVU, VT, and Miami at one time.
