Message: [QUOTE="dayooper, post: 1227179, member: 3859"] To you and I, they most certainly are. To those running the schools (those that make the decisions), academics is more important than anything else. They want to be associated with their academic peers and UL is not one (The ACC touts it's academics as part of their message to fans). Do I think it's a big deal? No. The only thing I saw is that it showed a weakness in their resolve. They went against their ideals for a middling brand. Was it the correct move? If it kept FSU and Clemson in the fold, then yes. It would also show how fragile The ACC was, and to a lesser extent, still is. [/QUOTE]
