Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 4355378, member: 3850"] The ACC has always been behind the SEC and Big Ten....the gap will just widen. CL82 is correct, IMHO, that the Big East and ACC were battling each other in a survival match to make the P5 breakaway...it was a fight to the knife. And that ESPN made the decision to invest in the ACC and SEC. Heretofore, the ACC was fairly successful, even with lower media revenue...but in the new semi-pro age, I expect diminished success.. Since 2010...ACC ...3 football NC's...Clemson, FSU ...4 basketball NC's...Duke, UNC, Virginia ...1 baseball NC...Virginia and smaller sports...9 Men's Lacrosse and 8 Women's, 4 Men's Soccer and 4 Women's...etc I think it will become the P2 and everybody else in football...maybe, just maybe, the Tier 2 can compete with them in other sports.
