Message: [QUOTE="Storrs South, post: 4345895, member: 7275"] I don't think Temple gets the nod frankly at least they'd not be an initial call. If ACC is smart and or able to based on what ESPN allows they probably need to go big the way every other conference is. The problem is there are not many good schools left. Sure blue colored glasses but out the P5 UConn should be the first call they make. Clemson and FSU were the reasons UConn didn't get in for football concerns while Duke and other basketball schools were in favor so it should be a no brainer. The next call as much as I don't particularly like it is USF. Reclaim Florida lost with FSU departure for recruiting purposes. Now is where it gets tough. Memphis has never gotten much attention from these schools and I think many of them would not want to be attached to them. Meanwhile Temple is bad in all sports and carries Philly like Rutgers carries NYC or in other words it doesn't. Buffalo has a solid AD and research as university but Cuse would never allow. UMass needs to show a lot more and BC wouldn't allow anyway (sure they wouldn't want UConn either but they don't have clout to opposed that) ECU would be an option, a gross disgusting option, to refortify North Carolina but the university is a mess as is the AD. But frankly after that it really falls of a cliff. Maybe they try to convince Nova to move FB up a level. I doubt they'd convince Cincy or WVU to move over from Big 12. They could pick off leftover PAC12 but that likely doesn't include 4 corners, it'd be like Stanford, Cal, WashSt, ORST. You could have a west division of ACC to minimize travel particularly for Olympic sports. So to summarize ACC options: Unlikely prayer: Cincy and WVU Possible prayer: leftover P12 Then after that the non-P5: 1. UConn 2. USF . . . . . . . . 3. Memphis 4. Temple . . . . . . 5. Rest of field Very limited options remaining. [/QUOTE]
