Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 4625627, member: 4613"] If the ACC lost key members and was down to say 8-10 programs, I could see it going hybrid. If the ACC lost 4-6 programs, who exactly would it add to benefit either football or basketball? The pickings are extremely slim. UConn, Memphis, Temple, USF, Tulane, Tulsa, JMU, ODU, Troy? [LIST=1] [*]Programs like Duke and Wake will want high quality basketball and there simply aren't any outside of the Big East. [*]Cincy, WVU, UCF. I don't see them leaving the Big XII for the ACC. At that point the Big XII would be far superior to the ACC. Why would anyone leave the Big XII, assuming they could leave, to backfill the ACC? [*]ACC could add 4 all-sports and 4 basketball-only to get to maybe 18 basketball, which would include Georgetown, Nova, SJU, Xavier? [*]Depending on how many left in this hypothetical, it would either go hybrid or be a BE/AAC 2.0. Either way, it would no longer be a P football conference. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
